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).

500th Post!!!





It's celebration time again! What are we celebrating, you ask? We are celebrating the most consistent journal I have ever kept! Just over 2 years ago I started this effort, and sometimes it's hard for me to believe I've posted here 500 times. {Those of you who know me in real life, I am imagining you saying, "Psshhh...big surprise...like she ever shuts up, anyway!"}

What would a celebration be without presents? I would LOVE to send you a care package of fun stuff from Japan. Just be the first person to leave a comment on THIS post, answering the following:

{At which movie did my brother Jimmy sob through the ending?}


I do have to make a couple of rules:

(1) I'd like to spread the love far and wide, so if you are a previous "grand prize" winner here on Imperialstuarts, please be understanding and let someone else have a turn. (It's mostly the same stuff, anyway!)

(2) If you are here on Okinawa, you aren't eligible, either. It would be nice and convenient to deliver it to your door...but it would be kind of anti-climactic to bring you the same stuff you probably already buy here. Thanks for being awesome.


Good luck...I hope you win!

ET come home!! Not sure if being family also disqualifies you like in many sweepstakes, but I am a loyal follower and I happened to have the day off.

Without giving the answer so everybody else knows…I think that these will suffice.

Then again, I cried when he 'died' too, and then left Elliott behind...

Yea, Brittani! You got it right...and I'd LOVE to send you guys a care package. I would never disqualify family (since they probably make up at least half of my readership)!

Mr. Z...You are also correct...with bonus links to other crying episodes, too. (Impressive...must be that whole school teacher persona.) That's gotta be worth something. If you would like to email me a mailing address, I'll send you a little something, too. My email is on my profile.

Thanks for helping me celebrate!

Rock on…sorry it took me so long to get back. School has started and the craziness as well.
