1 week exactly to the day we leave California. Lots to do this week before we say good bye to the good ole' US of A. In one sense that represents all the stress and physical strain of packing up of all our household belongings, cancelling insurance policies and closing phone accounts. But emotionally it means saying goodbye to loved ones and cherished places of our past. Moving is easy, saying goodbye... not so easy.
Fortunately in our last week here we were very graciously given the opportunity to visit my family in the Northwest for a few days before we make our way back to the land of the rising sun. In Seattle, my daughter Audrey was very warmly received by her Bull cousins and to her father's suprise, took to the stage with them like she was born to perform! We were very pleased to see all the Bull children so healthly and HAPPY! You really made us feel welcome.
Here we are at the Seattle Center with the Space Needle in the background joined by Leslie, Laurie, Debbie, Lara, Kimmo, Stevie, Chistopher, Ava, Thomas in a day of Seattle sightseeing. Thanks to all the Bull family for traveling so far to see us off! We will be seeing you in a few years I imagine. I hope this blog can serve to many as an easy way for you to see whats going on in our lives and stay connected from across the globe. And perhaps it may even inspire those who have never traveled to Japan, to give us a visit someday!
Until next time...

Safe travels Ken and fam. It was great to be able to see you a couple times while you were in the US. I'll try to make it to Okinawa soon.
Cheers,

Yay! Thanks Ken. I hope to see more entries here, but as I've seen with my own blog, it takes a little more energy than sending email. It was GREAT to see you all again before you go back to the homeland, and Seattle Center and the weather yesterday were the perfect photo op.
Love and best wishes for your impending travels.

Ah, but writing to the blog once is much easier than writing personal emails to each of us who will be reading the blog. Great picture!

What's up Mr. Bull. Wait...you're moving back to Okinawa?! Where the hell have I been? Oh yeah, fell off the planet for a while. It's great to hear about things on your side. I'm glad that you had the opportunity to reconnect with some family up North, and share that experience with all the Bulls. Dude, I'd love to get a chance to talk to you before you take off. Give me a call some time, 372-0804. If not, hope that your travels back to Okinawa will be safe, and the best of wishes for you and your family.
