This is a story about an
international couple raising and home educating three
young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in
buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in
the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with
climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages
are about pretty much anything and everything all guided
by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes,
Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our
ongoing crazy adventure.

STORY 2011 |
 We
purchased the house next to our house for the equivalent of $4,000 dollars. Many
fun house parties. A strong earthquake hit Japan. A lot of trips to our favorite
coffee shop.
January - March 2011
We began the year with a trip to Nara Park. There was 3 parties during the first
week and a half of January. End of the month saw some awesome sunsets. In
February watched the Super Bowl. We then got hit with a pretty good amount of
snow. A few more parties. The incredible news was the earthquake which hit
Japan.
April - June 2011
We went to Yoshino Mountain in April to see the cherry blossoms in bloom, known
in Japanese as hanami. The trees traverse the entire mountain and due to the
differences in elevation, you can see the cherry blossoms in various stages of
bloom. Quite a few parties during these few months.
July - December 2011
We began the Summer with a couple parties. Then we went to the Gion Matsuri
which is one of the most famous festivals in Japan. A week later we spent an
incredible day at the beach. A couple more parties. We went to see fireworks. A
typhoon hit in August. We purchased the adjacent property. |
