Tokyo, Japan has been our home for the past 3 years. We have really grown to love it there. The people, the customs, the order, the politeness, the service levels, and the friends that we've made both foreign and Japanese. My heart goes out to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami disaster. How easily it could have been my little house and life that was completely turned upside down. I was separated from my kids and Ryan during the big earthquake. It was a very scary time and not until I was able to know they were safe did I feel relief. Then as the rest of the days events unfolded, watching the tsunami clean out the town of Sendai, it became apparent how lucky we were to have just felt a big earthquake with no consequences. Here are some photos I have found that really touched me. We have left the country to make sure it is safe for us while the nuclear power plants are being repaired. We look forward to returning and continuing our lives in Japan with the wonderful people they are.

These pictures are amazing. They look fake. I am glad to hear that your family is safe. You must have so many emotions right now. Hang in there.
