It has been a very busy few weeks for us and can't believe we only have two weeks until we are reunited! The past 6 weeks have flown by for Stella and I. Unfortunately not so much for Jake since his injury and so much down time, but we will be together very soon!
Jake has been rehabbing the last month trying to get back to where he was, and is actually pitching in his first game today!!! Woohoo!! I'm praying he can just dominate, and continue to heal before the season starts impressing the staff to win a starting spot. He has been enjoying his team, and got to go back to Sendai last week which was nice for him to explore our city getting familiar with the town grocery before we arrive. My mind is very scattered lately and I have mailed out 6 boxes so far...2 each day (the post office lady and I are bff now. No joke..) I feel like I'm missing so much stuff, but at the end of the day I will need to take a deep breath, and know I did the best I could.
Jake has been telling me so many random facts like most restaurants you have to take your shoes off before sitting down, people will come right up to the table point at you and talk about you then walk away. Our main grocery store is in the train station (like a farmers market.) They slurp their noodles. I don't know that is funny to me.. They don't tip. If you tip they come find you, and return it. A guy on the team left like $6 on his table, and they mailed that back to sendai! That will be weird for me to get used to. They only really cash there-we never carry cash another huge adjustment.
Both of my parents are now flying with me and my mom will be sitting with Stella and I to help. It was a bit of a shocker buying tickets. The first set of tickets for one way 3 of us was $27,000.. Yes you read that right.. I almost died, and knew we needed to adjust that. Thankfully we found another flight much better for my mom since the team flies Stella and I first class. My dad is sitting by toilet. Haha I'm so thankful they are coming out to move me and will be there for about 3 weeks, and my in laws will fly out in August to move me back. Jake wants me to stay until October, but if I can make it to end of August I will be very impressed. Thank you for all the prayers during this transition. We will fly 2.5 hours to Houston on the 21st then our next flight is 14 hours to Tokyo then 2 hour bullet train to Sendai! Planes trains automobiles. Please pray for smooth safe travels for us and that Stella will be an angel!
I will be doing another post in the next few days as we have some exciting news coming up with something Jake and I really believe in! Stay tuned
