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).

Flashback Friday...Thanks for the Memories


I don't know about you, but I'm not a photographer. I rarely (if ever) take my camera off auto...and when I do, I'm taking a shot in the dark (no pun intended) anyway. When I read other peoples' blogs and they are asking us to excuse a lousy photo...or they whine about how something wasn't perfect (and it looks better than anything I've ever done) I'll admit, I get a little annoyed.

But, every once in awhile, I get lucky. And I do mean pure, dumb luck. Not that I'm saying my photos would win any awards...but sometimes they succeed at capturing the moment and truly preserving a memory.

Today, I'd like to share a couple of my faves (totally randomly) from my iPhoto files:


circa 2005...MCAS Miramar, Jake (age 6) running through the "post-game tunnel"



Summer 08 Grand Canyon, Coree (age 11)

That's a wrap!
