10. Fall. It's cool here in Okinawa, but not that cool. I miss sweater weather... Fall leaves... the beautiful colors. This place has a beauty all its own, but I miss Oklahoma Fall.
9. Winter. Yes, I know it's not even here yet, so how can I miss it? I just know I'll miss wintry, snowy days... watching the flakes fall... so peaceful and beautiful...
8. Getting in the car and driving someplace without having to think... Am I on the left side of the road? What street is this? Why don't they label the roads better? What does that say in English? Is this my blinker or my windshield wiper switch? (and so on...)
7. College football. Oh, we do get college football here, but it's on Sunday... not Saturday. And I have yet to see a team that I really care about. It's all... West Virginia vs. UCONN... whatever...
6. Mexican food on every corner. Oh, I miss my Mexican food! I could SO go for some street tacos right now!
5. Ice and water in my fridge door... sometimes it's the simple things...
4. Sitting on the couch in our back living room and looking out into the backyard.
3. Our king-sized bed!
2. BRAUM'S MILK!!!! Oh, how I miss Braum's skim milk!!!
1. My beloved family and friends. (Duh, what did you think #1 would be?)
Yep, I miss Oklahoma... but I'll bet I'll have another blog post in just under 3 years about all the things I'll miss about Okinawa!
Don't forget the Mennonite Relief Sale. I thought of you as I ate my vanilla ice cream made by the Amish. I didn't get any verenika though. They weren't selling it on Friday night when we went.
ReplyDeleteOh, you went?!? Did you see Jenni? Maaaaannnn... I hate missing out on that ice cream... and of course verenika. I'm too lazy to make verenika, so I guess I just won't get any until... well... 2013. Dang.
ReplyDeleteMiss you DSue!!!
