New Car

We did it!! We now are proud owners of 2 cars. I have a friend who works at Vehicle Registration and in Japan you have to de-register your car when you leave. She found a girl who was leaving the island on Sat. (this is Thurs) and she was going to junk her car. Amanda told her she had a friend who needed a car so the girl gave it to us! Yes, that is not a typo- we got a car for free. Sure, we had to pay the road tax and car insurance but other than that we paid nothing. The car will eventually need brakes (which Joe thinks he remembers how to do thanks to Jon Geske) but it will get Joe to work and back. Gone are the days of Joe riding his bike to work!!!

We had soccer again this weekend and Joe had a race. He completed in a triathlon but it was a team event. He went to the race thinking he was going to do the biking portion of it but was told at the last minute that he would be the runner. His team came in 2nd and the boys were excited when they saw the trophy (the trophy could have said "last place" and the kids would have been equally excited) We did not go to the race due to CCD (Sunday school) so I have no pictures of the race. Next weekend... no soccer!! I don't know what I will do with myself.
