CONTRIBUTED BY HEATHER GELORMINE For me, one of the hardest parts about being a military family isn’t the constant moving, or the long separations from my husband, or even the lack of control over our very existence.

originally uploaded by half_broken_rabbit. Cara wrote in to pitch the movie theater out in Mihama, American Village, across from Starbucks. Thanks, Cara! I recommend going to the Japanese theater in American Village. Yes, it's expensive. That's the only drawback!
