Counting My Blessings

Don't get me wrong, I still hate Italy. BUT, in the midst of wishing and wanting things to be different, I was able to come up with a few things that I do appreciate having here!

1. Library - I'm a book nerd at heart and having the libary on base has been wonderful

2. Burger King - with the chocolate shakes that I LOVE

3. Movie Theater - popcorn is amazing there and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to watch a movie and buy snacks

4. American "comfort" food at the PX - what would I do without my favorite box Kraft Mac'n'cheese?!?!

5. American Red Cross - I start volunteering this coming Wednesday and can't wait to finally get back into doing something with my time again

6. Jobs openings - they are few and far between but they still exist!

Great Day in Italy!

Today I had an interview for an AMAZING job here in Italy on base. It went so well (in my opinion) and I couldn't feel happier or more confident. It will be two weeks before I know if I'm offered the job or not.

Yesterday was a huge low. But today helped by turning out to be so great! The best part about these good days is that I get to share the joy with you! I love sharing happiness with you...even if it is just thru the internet.

After the interview, hubby bought me lunch at the bowling alley. (It's the most popular place for lunch on base.) Maybe I'm still in newlywed "puppy love," but I can't help but be so proud to be out with my husband. It doesn't hurt that he is the handsomest of all the other boys in uniform!

Happy Friday to all.
