I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Amy. I am a proud Navy wife to my high school sweetheart, Brian, and SAHM to my ONE YEAR OLD twins, Aidan and Gwen. I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. It's been a blur, but a good one! :)My husband and I have lived in a few places: Washington, Virginia Beach, San Diego, but right now we're living in Japan...and I'm so homesick! Distance really does make the heart grow fonder. :) I am enjoying my time here. It really is an experience of a lifetime...all the food, culture, PEOPLE...but I can't wait to get back. Luckily we've made some great friends along the way, and they've really made life over here so much better. :D

My Interests

I love sightseeing here in Japan. This country is really beautiful. Photography is a new interest of mine, and I'm really thinking about taking some classes when I get back to the States. Love the beach, hanging out with the girls, and getting out and exploring.

I'd like to meet:

I love to get in touch with old friends. I'm also interested in meeting new people, maybe people who also live in Yokohama? :) I would love to learn MUCH more Japanese and explore this wonderful city some more. But please, I'm only looking for friendship. I am a very happily married woman! PUT YOUR I'D LIKE TO MEET SECTION HERE!

Music:

I love all types of music. I had an amazing friend growing up that opened my ears to all kinds of music. Alternative, rock, ska, Sublime (they have their own category), soft girlie stuff, jazz, rap, you name it. OAR, Devics, Monkey - yeah, you heard me, Monkey!! Go check them out!! - Marley (Bob and Damian), Tracy Chapman, Elton John, U2, Alicia Keys, Sarah McLachlan...my list could go on and on. A friend has just influenced me to listen to the wonderful Iron and Wine. So peaceful. I love it when I get random CDs with random music on it. Even though I don't know who half the people are....

Movies:

Dirty Dancing, The Shining, You Me and Dupree, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, The Notebook, Crash, Animal House, Foxfire, A Christmas Story, Ferngully, anything with Denzel Washington or Owen Wilson or Matthew McConaughey, and so many more...I could go on forever.

Television:

Heroes and Grey's Anatomy are my absolute favorite! I also love the Golden Girls, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, House, MythBusters, and CSI.

Books:

Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel is my all-time favorite book. I highly recommend it.

Heroes:

My husband is definitely my hero. It takes so much courage and strength to do what he does. He is such a great husband and daddy, Everything he does amazes me and even though I don't know how this could be, every day I love him more and more. I truly admire him and love him with every fiber of my being. And to all of you serving in our military, whether you be active duty, reserves, coast guard, at home or overseas, you are all my heroes. Thank you so much for dedicating your lives to ensure our freedom. THANK YOU.
