You know, we don't travel ALL The time:). We do our everyday stuff most days, getting some more excitement on weekends when our kids try to convince us to stay home and do nothing. And sometimes we do (and doing nothing in their minds is "not to be going somewhere").
Being associated with the base community, we have an opportunity to participate in all sorts of events--entertaining, fundraising, sports, etc. I like to be involved and be in the know of what is happening in the area. I think if this were our first base, I probably wouldn't feel as inclined to do so, but because of how Misawa taught us that community is important when living overseas especially, I try to stay informed. I think living on the street where most families are very involved in our base's life helps as well.
One of the fun things we did this March was go to a fundraising dinner organized by our Middle High School cooked with the help of a professional chef, our teacher of consumer science. The dinner's theme was "James Bond" as they couldn't technically call it "Casino Royale". So we had fun dressing up and feel all posh going out. Chanel lipstick from my cousin is a must for such events, right?;)
This is what we thought we looked like:
But this is how we truly looked like:
I have to say, the school gym was decorated brilliantly! Loved the food too!
Fundraiser was in a form of a silent auction and somehow, without me knowing, Robert bid on several themed baskets (full of STUFF) and only won this Garden Pot kit-haha. Oh well...all for charity to raise money for our kids.
We have already planted the flowers and waiting for them to come up to enjoy all summer long by our front door.
Should I write any more regular life posts? I don't know... I guess I am stalling before my massive project of blogging about our cruise;))).
Lyana.
