Count your Blessings- Name them one by one

In no particular order, a list of blessings that have come our way from living on a remote, cold, and small base in northern Japan:

1. Friends that allowed us to use their car to drive to Aomori for our snow adventure trip when our car ran into problems.  And then allowed us to keep driving the car until we could figure out what to do with ours.

2. When we junked our second car (mentioned above), strangers (and angels answering a prayer) responded to our FB plea and are letting us borrow their car for two months while they TDY. We just have to make to June and then we PCS.

3. When the fitness contract was removed for the second time in six months, stopping me from teaching yoga at the base gym AGAIN, I have loyal yogi friends who filled out countless ICE forms (comment forms), requested me for private and group yoga sessions, and sponsored some Key Spouse Yoga events so that I could keep teaching. A blessing for me and for the welfare of this base.

4. That my kids have the chance for positive, cultural exchanges.

5. That the school class sizes are small so that my kids can be recognized for good work.

6. That my kids got to meet the Jabbawokeez dance crew since they are a part of the Hip Hop class at the youth center.  Josh and I paid a lot of money to see them in Las Vegas, we got a free performance since we live overseas.

7. That I have a sweet husby who goes through the trouble to nominate me again for Military Spouse of the Year.
