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).

Absolutely Spent



Jake looks like I feel. The pillow represents life...and the cat represents my calendar. See the look of superiority on her face? My calendar looks at me
just like that!

Unfortunately, the blog has just been one more thing for me to feel guilty about not doing well these past couple of weeks. Graduation really threw me for a loop. Really. I think I'd been running on adrenaline and denial for a long time...and the let down was huge.

Now we are dealing with farewell after farewell...whether it's friends leaving the island for good or just for the Summer...it's all depressing.

I am still marking my place here, so I will catch up...and eventually, no one will know I was behind. In the mean time, we are getting ready to take a little vacation. A much needed vacation...to regroup, recharge and not waste another day feeling blah.

And then...you can read all about it here!

Okay, that photo is the bomb…it really shows you who is in charge.

Hope you can get your 'blue sky holiday' and get those batteries recharged.

Haha! I should have given my husband credit for the photo. And in the magic of blog time...we are already back from our fabulous vacation and I'll (hopefully) be posting about it soon! It was just what I needed. Even the rainy parts.
