We were a little bit uncertain what it would be like living on base when we came to Japan, and honestly we still have some mixed feelings. The one thing that we could not have asked for better is our neighbors.
From the day we moved in the have been so wonderful helping us in every way. Despite the fact that I really enjoy yardwork, I haven’t had to do much here because they always beat me to mowing the grass and even taking the leaves.
Most of our neighbors have teenage kids who have been great babysitters whenever we have needed them. It is super nice to have literally six different babysitters in the same parking lot.
Today, not for the first time, they gave us eggs and milk to finish a recipe that I miscalculated on. I know that is a little thing, but it has been one little thing after another for two years now.
With my family’s impending departure this week it has been really hard to say goodbye to them, but I am super grateful that we have had such amazing neighbors.
