Hello! The summer has passed and I have barely been able to keep up! Here is a brief update from each month.
September marked the end of a busy summer and the beginning of a new lifestyle for us. Nathan started his Masters of Divinity classes with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, which means that he now spend several hours each night in silence, either watching video lectures with headphones, reading stacks of books, or writing forum posts. After one night of needing to keep quiet and having a very difficult time doing it, I knew I needed a project too. I signed up for a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate class. So now we both spend time studying each night. It works out pretty well.
As of November, Nathan will be the ranking RP on island for awhile. As such, his command is moving him from Camp Hansen to Camp Foster, as it is the HQ for the RPs. Since Foster is an hour away without traffic, we have decided to move south. Our lease ends the first week of November, so the timing works out pretty well. I'll either transfer to a bank branch down there, or find a new job. Working on that! We're looking forward to the new atmosphere. Living up north has allowed us to explore places that would otherwise be very far, but now we get a chance to explore the south and live close to everything.
We currently live and work on Camp Hansen (C), and are moving down to Camp Foster (G). For reference, Okinawa is about 70 miles long, half of the height of Pennsylvania.
