well, hello out there! :) this is a strange thing starting a blog. I guess it could be like myspace and facebook, only just blogs. :) well, lets start this out! We are the Drages. Zackari and Rachel. Zack is 20 years old, and in the Navy. He's on the ship USS George Washington, and is curently 'forward deployed' to Japan. The Japanese don't like the term Change of Homeport, so it's forward deployed. His is an FC, Fire Controlman, which means he helps to fire and fix the firing systems on his ship, such as the gattling guns and all that fun stuff. He does like his job, however much he may complain. :)
I, Rachel am 19 years old, currently living in a high rise apartment in Yokosuka, Japan, on a naval base of course. We live on the top floor of our building and have a fabulous veiw of the bay from our balcony. I am thinking of going to college here on base, and try to either become a massage theripist, or something else, trying to keep options open. I enjoy photography, but I don't want to make it a career.
We currently have two cats, one in Utah, one here. Pearl is an all black cat, don't be superstisious around her, she's realy lovey, and really sweet, she's a year and a few month, and small. Mischa is an all grey cat, she is a purebred Russian Blue. She's really shy, and skiddish, but that may be because she's only been with us for 5 days out of her 1 1/2 year life.
(just FYI, We had two before, Dante and Pearl, but Dante just recently passed. He was hit by a vehicle, don't know what, but he's in a better place. He was my baby, my first kitten. :) Even though we got him and Pearl together, she's zack's.)
I guess that's all, I will try to keep this updated. I pretty much got it so I could keep up with my family. :) Until next time!
