Being Home

Things I love about being home:

• layers of heavy blankets at night,
• long sleeves, fuzzy sweaters and mittens,
• big, beautiful containers of vanilla yogurt,
• not waking to find roach and gecko carcasses in my home,
• making phone calls - not texts,
• great sermons and having communion,
• driving again, driving a truck(!!),
• pecans and almonds in great big costco-sized bags,
• cupboards full of baking ingredients,
• being invisible on my street, at the store, anywhere,
• constant access to my fam,
• having a new little sister!

Things I don't love about being home:

• the weather,
• my skins reaction to the weather - (think lots and lots of lotion),
• getting into frigid vehicles,
• the rude and self-centered side of this country,
• the lack of easily accessible, cheap, public transportation,
• having cold feet, hands and nose - always!
