An Award!

Steph @ Watching Airplanes awarded me this:

 Thank you ever-so-much! It made my Saturday complete!

The rules are simple.

1. List 10 things that make me happy.
2. Tag 10 bloggers that brighten my day.
So, first 10 things that make me happy.

[[In no particular order]]

1. Love. People in love. Love stories. Romance. Being in love. It all just makes me happy.

2. Family. And my family-away-from family here in Japan.
3. Education. (a.k.a. Brain Food)

4. Modern Communication. Facebook. E-mail. Skype.

5. Friends. Near and Far. Old and New. :)
6. Chai Tea Latte with soy milk. And the people that make them on base make me happy too!

7. Finding good deals makes me happy. Clearance and sale racks.

8. Being creative. Scrapbooking. Decorating. Making cards.

9. Being a foreigner. It makes me happy when I figure something out or learn something new - just from being a foreign person in a foreign place.

10. Blogging. I know dorky to put in here. But honestly, I didn't think my blogging would amount to much. It has changed me. Reading all of your blogs makes me happy. Thank you!
