So this has been long overdue but we are finally in Japan and life is going well. No major problems yet, just trying to settle in. We feel really excited about our small accomplishments like setting up our internet (even though everything was in Japanese), getting a bed (the floor was starting to get uncomfortable), buying groceries (food is out of control expensive), and finding our way through the subway (they don't have subway maps posted at any of the stops). We are the minority and as the title of our blog suggests we stick out like the tall, white, oddities that we are. However, every person we attempt to talk with has been friendly and to our knowledge we haven't socially offended anyone yet... we hope.
We already have plenty of stories and pictures we will post in blogs soon to come. But, for our first official blog we would just like to say: we are happy, healthy, and looking forward to the new adventures that await us.

Ha! I'm glad to hear you're alive. Can't wait to hear some of those stories. Also, I just saw some of your engagement photos online, and I must say, I'm not even mad. Hope all is well!
yeah! please post pictures soon - we want to see the pad and the hometown!
Joe, Kellyn! Good to see this first note. I'm dying to know if you got the walls cleaned with that bleach, Joe, before Kellyn arrived. Also -- hope you enjoy A Prayer for Owen Meany and Silence. First of the two books you WOULD HAVE READ had you taken Faith in Contemporary Lit.
Not that I hold a grudge or anything like that.
Blog more.
Love you both.
Debbie
