Okay, so it's been a while like normal since I last posted on here. Honestly, I usually just forget, or when I actually think of something blog worthy I am at work and can't do a whole lot about it because of the government Internet. So, nonetheless, here I am today to tell you about the good things that come in threes...(although they can turn bad).
1.Husband-
Now this is not the one that turned bad. (Not what most you ladies were thinking I'm sure, but I'm not lying...he is good...98% of the time).
As most of you know, Gil got to come and visit Okinawa. We had a wonderful time. Thanks to outside funding, love, and a donation of a family member (Connie let me have Gil) we got to spend our first Christmas together. I'm not going to say it was a fairytale Christmas, but it suited us just fine. Santa Claus didn't visit that day...so I guess the rumors are true, you do have to have a tree to get Santa to come. However, we did order our dishes and silverware that day, so I guess Santa came in anther way. Speaking of dishes, I showed them to a co-worker and she asked if I was Mexican because they are so colorful. What can I say, I think they're nice.

2. Fish-
After Gil left Okinawa I was kinda depressed as any loving wife would be. So someone decided it was good to leave me and S20 unsupervised and I came home with seven children. That's right...seven. I had 3 "fancy goldfish" 2 "feeder goldfish" and 2 "algae eaters." Ten days later I have 1 "algae eater." This is the good thing gone bad.
Now, I'm not saying that my seven fish replace Gil. They don't talk or interact with me, however, they do at least keep me company so I enjoyed them. Until they started dying. First went Toby, then Confetti, then Donna, then Things 1 & 2 and finally Algae 1. So it's just me and Algae 2 at the moment holding down the fort, I hope he lives til I get orders.
Anyways, the fish were a fun adventure that I will probably never do again.
3. Yoga-
Now I know what all of you are thinking...YOGA?!?! Meredith?!?! Yoga!!!
Yes, it is true, I went to my first yoga class tonight. Talk about an experience. I have never felt so inadequately good in my life. First of all this like grey haired 65 year old lady (no offense to anyone reading this blog who fits that description) could do everything...that's the inadequate part. So, I was in the back corner about to pass out because apparently I can't stay balanced and breathe at the same time. My shoulders are sore, but I do feel stretched out which is what I was shooting for...so that's the good part. So I'm going to try to do another class this week at the gym if they have it. If not, I will definitely be returning next Tuesday.
If you can get past all the hippie mombo jumbo it is one heck of a stretching workout. So to yoga, I salute thee.
Other than these adventures, there isn't much to report about. I am still waiting for orders. There has been a PCS (when I change stations) freeze due to lack of funding for the military, so until some bill is passed in Congress I am awaiting orders. Word is I will be going to MCAS New River, NC. But, don't hold me to it because nothing is certain in the Marine Corps except that it is uncertain and you will always hurry up to wait.
Lastly, I would like to put a plug in for the Barnes and Noble Nook. It is awesome if you enjoy reading I highly recommend it.
Hope everyone is well. I look forward to catching up and visiting with family and friends as soon as I get back.
Love you all.
