Moving

It's just about a year since I moved into the house in the Takeoka neighborhood.  My landlords were transferred by their company to Bangkok, Thailand.  Originally the idea was that they would be in Thailand for four or five years, but sometimes God has other plans for us and they will be moving back to Japan next week.  
All this is to say that I am in the process of moving to another place.  SEND International has a number of houses on one compound (Shasta), one of them is empty until this summer, so I will be moving there this week.

My bedroom

Shower/bath room

Toilet room (sorry for the blurry picture)

Washing machine

This house is a much more North American style house.  There are a few things that are still of the Japanese style, but notice the American stove!  There is also a large room that includes the diningroom and livingroom!  
I am blessed to have people who are willing to move my possessions!  I have been carrying some items on my bicycle as I travel to and from the Takeoka house to the Shasta house.  
I'm also spending time with Hana as Brian and Bette are going on a little vacation with visitors from North America.  So, I'm able to totally pack up and clean up the Takeoka house and still have a place to sleep, at the VanderHaak's!  

Someone is quite tired after a long walk. 

By the time we get to the end of the week, I will be moved into my new place, Hana's owners will be back from their trip and another spring break will be done.   
Glad we have a week where we are able to do other things.
