A quick update for all of you- Laura is in Japan right now, in Oi town. She's establishing our apartment, getting the internet set up, going grocery shopping, doing more orientations, etc. I leave tomorrow morning at 8:50 AM for Tokyo and arrive at 3:05 PM at Narita Airport. Right now it's the rainy season there, and the weather is really hot and humid. We're both really excited to be together again!
Our wedding was great; thank you to everyone for making it such a wonderful day! Pictures and all that will be coming at a later time.
Our honeymoon was decidedly grand. Like the canyon. We saw a lot of our beautiful country, which we will share with you also at a later date. We needed three months to do everything we wanted and not just three weeks. One day we'll revisit that adventure...
But now, a new adventure!
Love,
Jonathan

Living in Japan
Hello everyone!
Today, Jonathan and I found out where we will be living for the next year! I was placed in Ooi City, Fukui Prefecture. We don't know that much about it yet, except for the name, but it is on the Sea of Japan coast (western side) in central Japan about 3 hours and 30 minutes from Tokyo by bullet train. I will probably be working in elementary and middle schools as opposed to high schools, but I won't know for sure until my contracting organization contacts me. We'll keep you updated!
Here's a link to Fukui Prefecture's official website. I'll put this link on the right side of this page, but here it is for now:

Registry Information
Hello!
Jonathan and I have been working on the registry, and we've come up with a few things we might need for the honeymoon. I'll put the link at the end of this post and over to the right under "useful links". The registry requires a visitor's password so that random people do not log on and change things. The password is our last names, allenmckenzie, all one word. If you have any problems, please let us know. You can go the the main site and type in either one of our names to get to our registry, or you can use the lower link to get there.
We may add a few more items later, but since we are not sure where we will be living or what we will be doing, we are not registering for household items like appliances, dishes, linens, etc. Please remember the only gift we need is the gift of your presence, and that the registry is only for those who feel absolutely obligated to give us something.
Love,
Laura and Jonathan
