to my peeeps in Japaaan

I'm really worried!!

and I don't joke when I say, if you can, come to canada!! Hirasawas and Shojis, we love youuuu...and there's not a huuuge home here in Canada for no reason!
:)
comprehend...eee???

no really, I'm really praying for you guys and I hope you are all getting some sort of plan ready just in case things get worse. it's better to be all ready and jump on a plane or train and leave, than to hope for the best and be unprepared for the worse!
I know..I'm preaching to the preachers..
me and joe are just really concerned and aren't really in the loop so we're straining our ears for any hopeful news!! I know the Lord will always work in mysterious ways! ehe,
BUT
please keep us in touch! and stay on skype when you can!! :)

updates

hadyooo!!!

quick update on our little life..

Joe's other "job" didnt turn out to be such a worthy one, so he dumped that one and got a basic manual labor job. which, when it comes down to the basic necessities, will get us by juuust fine! so it's like a HUGE burden and worry has been lifted. Thank the LORD:)
now I can go shop for groceries and not worry too much about money shrinking but not growing back.
GWT will be on hold for now. maybe if we have good income, I'll try it. but never for a serious job or anything..
I'm intent on getting into a dance school!! I just wanna dance...and yes I'm not satisfied with shower bootay shaking and kitchen clean up dance with the broom anymore. hahaha
hope I find good one!! maybe you'll see me on so you think you can dance...oooor maybe even dancing with the stars! haha
gunna end short. Jason is overtired and the girls wanna watch Australia..WHICH might I add in, is an absolutely ADORED fave if mine. something about this Hugh Jackman just has me glued..
haha
NIGHTY TIGHTY!!!


ps. always praying for everyone in Japan! stay safe, I love you!!

update!

so we're alive! and we're here in Toronto, happy, healthy, and slowly adjusting to the new life :)
for the first two days at the end of the day Jason would say things like, "Ok, time to get in the car and drive home" and "let's go home now mommy" and "where's my buddies??" and it would be soo sad when I would have to tell him, "Jason, remember before when mommy told you we were moving to a new house? well this is our house now, you're buddies won't be here everyday" and he'd cry and make me wanna cry. AWW. and then talking with my dad on skype, he'd ask Jason where his uncles and aunts were and Jason would say, "on the bus!" meaning, he hadnt seen them yet so he thought they were still out at school. AWWWWW
but now he's good and adjusted. we go out all the time to the park and for walks around the neighborhood. he has a big playroom with the other little girl, so that's a nice play to keep him while I make dinner.
Joe has a job!! got an interview yesterday and is in today for training. not sure on the details except that he's gunna be someone who gets called in to ppls houses to test their water and show them new gadgets etc., and see if they wanna buy it.
sorta like a salesman. but without the going out door to door and bugging ppl! heh
so he went from a dirty roofer to a clean "salesman" with good looking clothes! haha he's loving it. once he gets past the training, he'll be making 20 an hour and for anything he sells, he gets commission from that. so it's a pretty good paying job.
fingers crossed! pleas pray for him

as for me, I'm actually thinking about becoming a member in a network marketing industry for diamonds and gold.
http://www.globalwealthtrade.com/company_overview.php
pretty interesting. and Im still learning about it so there's not gunna be much explanation. haha. but basically I buy in to the company. and invest in jewlery. I get others to buy or become members, I get a commission off that and that money goes towards my jewlery. I can either buy or invest.
theres a lot of different addons to this but I am soo new I probably would sound like an idiot trying to explain. so the sight should do enough for now.
it seems pretty legit and a couple of my friends are doing it and saving a lot of time and money, so i figured, being at home with Jason, would be a pretty good way of earning some extra cash.
anyways..
me and joe are looking things over and praying about it, etc,.

soooo that's pretty much it!! we're praying like MAD for Japan!! please know you are all in our prayers and daily thoughts!!
my parents will be coming back tomorrow, so that's a huge worry off our shoulders!
hope everyone else is alright.

leaving you with some photos and a video of my love:)


                                          Of course we have to stop for a Bob the Builder ride!!!



 its us!! alive and happy while Cha learns how to be a complete stay at home mommy!! nehehehe

don't we look alike here?? i think so.. :D      photo by JT (aka. fattypoo love, Jason)



and here's a video of my little munchkin.

last minute thoughts

last night with all my siblings living in ONE house. it's gunna be weird not having them around everyday. I know i'm looking forward to the move and to start a new life on our own, but I've always been the clingy type of sister. kinda like in little women, where Jo says, "we're sisters, we're always supposed to be together. Not marry and go off on our own!"
heh!!
I know, I can go on and on about everything wonderful, and how I'm looking forward to this new exciting life! but it's just that stage, where everything you know you'll miss suddenly jumps in your face! whew.I just am starting to feel like we're actually moving..and its weird for me because I've never lived anywhere but my parent's place!
the biggest worry for me is that Jason won't adjust to this change easily. He's got all his "buddies" he can play with and now its gunna be a quiet house with no kids except for a little girl. i hope he is able to understand and have fun in the new place and lifestyle!! I know he'll miss everyone.
but change is good!
so I'll sign off with a happy thought. Watched The Beautician and the Beast, tonight and AWWWWWWWWW.....cutest movie ever. I remember watching it with Lixy a Looong time ago. brought back some good memories:)
will promise to keep you all updated!!
lots of love

uuubaaa uubaaa for cuuubaa



 Me and joe were chosen, along with a few other couples, to get on stage for Valentine`s day and participate in some game competitions. WE WON!! just because we`re that good...ooohh yeaaaa! hahaha. scored two bottles of RUM!! it sure does pay to volunteer to be a monkey sometimes!


                                                  The view from our hotel compartment


                                                                  Some of the gang



                                                              FOOD!! at an Alacart


                          Pink drinks for EVERYONE! twas my birthday on the 12th and Sue`s on the 16th!



                                                                    on the beach







                                                        SNORKELING TIME








                                               the maid would decorate all our towels every morning

                                                          `DINOSAUR TRAINING!` says joe



                                                                      the nearby village.







 we took a `train ride`through the mountains to another small village. sooo beautiful along the way








                                              Joy comes each year and brings the kids clothing.
                    during the train ride, we`d throw little candies to the children standing outside their homes...AWW you should see the look on their faces. most don`t know what a candy is or what to do with it. to think we need more! the way one small candy can light up a child`s face and make his world go round`..we have TOO much!!


                                              the puppy wanted the little girl`s candy


                                             giving Jason`s old clothing to a little boy same age
