Friends and Augusta

Tonight as I realized I was bored and had a TV without a tuner and a DVD player without cables to hook it up I started making calls at 8pm, which is major taboo in my world. I made my calls in order of proximity to my house and after 2 calls had procured a set I could get tonight. It made me realize how awesome the people I have met here are.

I have experienced a lot of neat things since I moved here, things that I am just not accustomed too. I think I learned more about friendship in the last three years than I have in my 25 years prior.

I have had friends drive 3 hours to tow a friend of mine they didn't even know who was broken down on the side of the road, just because I asked. They have helped us fix furniture, put in a fence, plant trees and bushes, sent their teenagers to do my yardwork when hubbs was gone and countless other seemingly small things that were huge to me and hubbs. In just the last week, people have stopped by to dig holes and plant shrubs, fix my mini blinds (cos I am lame), fix my driveway, fix my closet doors, hang out in my attic with me cos it scares me, move a TV for me 10 feet cos I cant lift it, find AV cables for me at 8oclock at night cos mine got packed and I am bored, and shown up totally unexpected (even had to ask for directions) just because they wanted to see me one last time before I leave and I have been too busy to get together. It just means alot to me. I hop I am half as lucky to find such great people in Japan.

so yeah I thought I would tell the world.

In the next week I have to finish painting (but I have no stuff) and clean the house (again no stuff) but I am not worried as I know I will be taken care of, the Lord will provide all I have to do is ask. It is a wonderful feeling
