Update!

Ok, so I did it guys. I finally did it. I bought our plane tickets for our return to America. It's both scary and very exciting. It's made our return so much more real.

We will be arriving in Hartsfield Atlanta at 3:10 PM and we will be back in the states for good. How wonderful. :-)

I know it's still early to have bought a ticket (just less than 5 months). However, I have my reasons. 4 of them! First, I am very ready to come home and have been looking at tickets for a few months now, so I might as well just get them now and get it out of my system. Second, now that we have teh tickets, we have a definite timeline to work with. Like, now we now for sure when we have to leave Izumo and when we will fly out of Japan. It helps, believe it or not. It will help me plan a solid timeline. Thirdly, we could pick any seat that we wanted on the airplane. I don't know why that was important to me, but it was. And finally, the prices are only going to go up unless we wait until a few days before the flight (thats when they plummet but its such a risky move). So that's my reason! I don't have to explain myself, but i'm feel chatty and excited so I thought I would.

See you in 143 days! (no, I didn't count, I used a countdown program to see how many days)
