Well, we are back online! Not that it's earth-shattering news or anything, but we recently purchased a new HP Media Center computer, and one week after the store warranty ended, it crashed or something. Nice, huh? Anyway - we had to talk to Customer Support for a long time before they agreed that they needed to send us a Recovery Disc - something that should get it back for us. In the meantime, we have been relying on public computers to obtain e-mails and other information - it hasn't been pleasant...especially for Dave. So - since he just couldn't wait the week and a half or so for the disc to arrive, he purchased this laptop - an HP Pavilion Notebook. His rationale - we "needed" one anyway. Aaaaah - the life of a Stinchfield wife....my only hope is that it doesn't come to bed with us EVERY night.

Anyway - all is well in Japan. We are out of here on June 25th! It's official! We should be in the states by the 4th of July - after a 4-day stop in Hawaii! Needless to say, we are so excited! And we are so glad we will be back for Kim's wedding. Congratulations, Kim!

Dave continues to run his brains out, meanwhile, I am playing flag football - a women's league. Kids are great - everyone is healthy. We have a silent auction/spaghetti dinner tonight that I am doing with the PTO - every person's dream of how to spend your Friday night. We love you all and LOVE your blogs!
