Am I the only one?
Hi. My name is Hiromi Vigil. I am originally from Yokosuka Japan. My husband Steven is from New Mexico (He graduated High School in Socorro). We met in 1994 when he was stationed at Naval Air Station, Atsugi Japan. We married four years ago in Denver Colorado. Currently, we live in Honolulu Hawaii.
I'm just wondering if there are any other "Asian" Vigils out there. I am very curious about this. I can trace my family history back three thousand years and as far as I or anyone else knows, I am the first Miyamoto of my line to marry outside of my culture or blood line. My husband's knowlege of his Vigil family history is limited, so he doesn't know if there is anyone else like me in his family history or even his sur name. Obviously, my husband and I have some major cultural differences which can lead to some very difficult situations. Have any other Vigils ever had to deal with such situations?
The Vigil name is unique and I am happy to have it. It is not like Garcia or Martinez or other names that are much more common where ever you go. Outside of New Mexico or Southern Colorado, I have never met anyone who could even say "VeeHill" correctly!
If there is anyone out there who knows of a similar situation as my husband and I, please respond.
Thanks, Romi.
