Thankful Thursdays # 3

What am I thankful for today? Living in Japan.

Sure, I miss America, but mostly just things that are just in America, like my family. And Mexican food. But living in Japan has been an adventure that I am extremely thankful for. I mean, where else can you buy a new flavored KitKat every month?

Wasabi flavor. Verdict: Good, then gross, then good again with a gross aftertaste.

Cheese Flavor. Verdict: "I want to put it on a cracker and eat it" - Ryan

I've also tried sweet potato, cola, strawberry, and soy sauce flavors. Sweet potato was probably my favorite so far. Anyway...back to what I'm thankful for.

Even though I sometimes am anxious to be back in America with my family and friends, I need to embrace being here. I need to really be here when I'm here. Not keep thinking about being home but really enjoy living here and take advantage of all the wonderful things here. The fabric for example-amazing. The food, culture, people, nature, history and the time I have to enjoy it all. Thank you, Japan!

Yes, this post may get a little mushy, be warned.

This Thankful Thursday I'm thankful for Ryan.

My wonderfully hilarious, soon-to-be husband.

He's such a dapper fellow. Plus he is supportive of my crafting. Here he's sporting the bow tie I made him for his birthday (yes, he actually wore it in public!).

He's pretty silly.

He's clever.

He can say pretty cheesy things that are actually kinda cute.

He's handy getting you around town.

Especially if you're a girl who doesn't read maps all that well (ahem...me).

He's pretty much always a happy camper.

And I'm so thankful I get to marry him!!!!!

Thankful Thursdays

In true Thanksgiving spirit I decided to start Thankful Thursdays. It's so easy to fall into daily routines, forgetting to be thankful for all the little things.

So starting today, I will post every Thursday about what I'm thankful for. Want to join? I'd love for you to share what you're thankful for too, join in the Thanksgiving fun!

I'm so, so, so thankful for nature. It's one of my favorite things in the world. And I'm so blessed to live in an area that I can step outside and see wonderful reminders of God's creativity everywhere I look.
