things i will not take for granted!

Today I was thinking of some things that I don't really appreciate when I'm at home, but now that I don't have them or they are hard to come by I have really missed them! For example:

1. carpet
2. cold milk
3. paper dollars (euros are coins and they are heavy and obnoxious)
4. places to run where you aren't always dodging people
5. dryer
6. my bed
7. Target (I miss Target SO much!)
8. gatorade (I never liked it that much until now when I can't get it)
9. English ads, newspapers, tv, and movies
10. English speaking hairstylists (I got my first haircut today and it was an adventure to say the least)
11. good customer service in restaurants, etc.
12. free refills
13. lower prices on pretty much everything
14. my car and driving
15. having a variety of classes in a day versus having spanish grammar for three hours

This list, plus more of the things I don't want to take for granted when I get home, is going in my journal and I am planning on putting it somewhere where I will see it and be reminded to appreciate all of these things!

  1. That's a pretty good list Kristin!!! For number 8 you'll be pleased to know that they now have gatorade available at the new dc!! I think that was the biggest excitement of all! Evidently the whole football team started yelling and cheering! Well, I'm pumped to see you in a few weeks and I am very excited to see your new "spanish haircut"!!!
