Christmas is here!!

Now I am settled back at home here in the US. I went last night to a place downtown to see the Christmas lights. It was a perfect night with no clouds. But cold cold and cold... still perfect!!

Today is Christmas eve.... I am in Utah and going to a family party to see some relatives I have not seen in many many years. It should be good. For Christmas I bought myself a new Volkswagen... I like it so far and the heater in the cold weather works great!!

Well here are some pics I took... I also took one of my new dog Bee-Bee ready for Christmas!!

Welcome Home!!!

Its been a long time... a long long time... As usual I have been busy.

I spent November preparing to move back to the US. I moved back on 11/22 just before Thanksgiving holiday. It was a crazy move and I have too much stuff!! But I was able to pack all my things and move back without any problems.

After moving back to the US I got a new girl friend. Below is her picture. She is cute!!



I was only home for a week and decided to get a dog. She is a Dalmatian and I named her Bee-Bee. So she is my new girl friend. (Not "girlfriend".) I guess because she is just a puppy at 7 weeks old she is more like my new daughter. But anyway she is a good dog and will be a great friend. But I am busy now with my job here and trying to take care of a dog. But its a good thing.

After moving back and getting Bee-Bee we had a huge wind storm here in Utah 4 days ago. My house received a lot of damage and I was not able to go to work because I needed to stay home and watch my home during the wind to make sure it was ok. Our city had a lot of damage and it was like a tornado came here. Some pics are below.

This is the side of my house.... My siding was blown off.
 Behind my house you can see my fence.. it was completely blown down and needs to be replaced..
 Many large trucks on the freeway were blown over.. it was a very strong wind..

So I have been busy now arranging to have my house repaired. I had damage to my roof, siding, fence and lost my barbeque... So I guess I get to have fun getting new things for my home. But everyone in this neighborhood had the same type of damage... not fun...

Well I think I have caught up for now. Its been crazy since I came back. I will only be here for 3 years and then will move back to Japan. So I will enjoy these 3 years and Bee-Bee and I will return back to Japan...(I will travel much back and forth for business though... I will return just after New Years...).

Ahhh life is fun!!
