Counting My Blessings!

I can’t believe my time here in this beautiful country is quickly coming to an end. I have to confess I wasn’t sure I wanted to come at first and be away from home for so long and to take that long flight. If I was asked again, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back. The experience has been awesome. Despite the floods, cyclones and rains it has been the best time.  

                           
Blessing #1 – The blessing of being able to travel to Australia

First and foremost I was able to be here with my husband and to see first hand what he goes through on a business trip. I knew it was never easy. It may sound so glamorous to travel the world, but you can’t imagine how hard he works having to do one job while still keeping track of another job back in the States. Which is not easy with the time difference, it makes for late nights and early mornings and not a lot of time to relax. But we managed to squeeze in as much as we could on the weekends even though he had a weekly early Saturday morning call and reports that had to be submitted by Sunday evening.

Blessing #2 – The blessing of sharing new experiences with my husband

                                               

We bring back wonderful memories along with thousands of pictures of this land down under. The people are so friendly and welcoming and we made wonderful friends through a warm and inviting church.

Blessing #3 – The blessing of new, life-long friends



Diane, Barbara K, Jill, Dean
mainly music kitchen workers

My children keep asking me if I will continue my blog when I get back home. There are still many more stories I could tell and lots more pictures I could share. I’m mulling it over! My life will certainly be a little less eventful, but with a traveling husband, two loving sons with two wonderful wives, one granddaughter and another on the way there may be a story or two to share.  

Blessing #4 – The blessing of family
