Masarus last days on the mission

 

Masaru came home from his mission. 

Here are the last few pictures while he was out. 

It’s been really hard and alot has gone on. I talk about it on my podcast soo it’s all on there. It was and still is a tough thing to work though. A lot of feelings and things to sort out. A lot of emotions and thoughts. 

Masaru is in therapy and is sorting out medication to help him. He’s got an amazing job in machining right now that he loves and is going to BYUI in September. Hopefully it’ll work out for him. 

Friends and fun

 

Dru started work on the downstairs bathroom. It’ll be nice to have it done. 

For new years we did shogatsu. We prepped it then watched a movie together and stayed up. I enjoyed the night. 

This just proves that Dru was around. 

We went and had dinner with our Boise cuzzies. 

It was really nice. 

Emiko made a fort with mates.

Christmas

 

Here’s some blast from the past purchase of my cute kids. 

Natalie and I went hiking in the snow. It was really nice.

Here we are on the way back from Christmas with each other.

We had a really great time with family. The twins lined up and got Yuki 🧡 a Lululemon bag for free which was really nice of them.

Grandma had lots of stuff for us to do which makes the season great. 

These guys have been friends, their whole life and grown-up together. I love it.

Here we are sharing all of our gifts with each other the night before Christmas. And Grandma played a game with us to.

Always good food and good conversations

We all worked on a really hard puzzle for Christmas and got it done.

On Christmas day we talked to Masaru 💙 for the majority of the day and have breakfast and hung out. It was a good Christmas.
