We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

Cross Country Banquet


As I mentioned in a previous post, Patrick's Cross-Country season ended...so there was the obligatory awards banquet to attend. It was held at the Habu Pit (of Homecoming dance fame).


You can dress Troy up...but you can't take him out.



Here's Patrick hugging Coach Campbell after receiving his varsity letter...and his peer awards for "Sweatiest Athlete" and "Biggest Chu-Chu Fan". (Chu-Chus are Japanese "Otter Pops". They are very popular, and the coach sells them out of his classroom, along with other snacks. Apparently, Patrick is his best customer.) We're so proud!



Awww...Coach and Patrick.



Awww...Patrick and Brandon.



Awww...Patrick's whole family!

Congratulations, Patrick...we love you, man!
