MISSING HOME!

Lately I have been missing home a little and since I will be going home for a much needed visit in 16 days I thought I would make a list of the top ten things I miss about home and what I am excited for when I get there! Don't get me wrong I love Calgary but there is nothing like home!

1) MY SISTERS.....I didn't think it was possible to go this long without my sisters but I have made it thus far. Going to the Women's Conference all by myself on Saturday night really made me miss them and the girls night that we had the last time we went. Oh what would we do without sisters. I can't wait to spend all the time I can with them for ten days!

2) BABY GRAHAM....Although my cousin wanted that baby out I wanted him to stay in till I got there! I can't wait to meet my Sara's baby for the first time, pictures are just not feeling my need to squeeze those cute cheeks! Dont' worry Graham Aunt Emily will be there soon!

3) MY MOM....You would think the fact that I talk to my mom multiple times a day (thank you Shaw unlimited U.S. Calling) I would be ok, but my mom and I have a great friendship and I can't wait to spend countless hours with my mom while eating her delicious cooking, there is nothing like dinner at Suze's!
4) FOUNTAIN DRINKS... I know a little wierd right? But seriously nobody has fountain drinks here and when a girl needs a diet coke what is she supposed to do. I definately will be making some runs to the local gas station to feel my need!
5) THE KIDS....these pics say it all. I miss them everyday and I am just praying that they haven't grown up too much while I have been gone!


6) THE WEDDING...the reason that I am making the trip in the first place is because my good friend Melissa is getting married in the SLC temple and I get the lucky opportunity to be the one to be her escort for her first time going through the temple. I feel so blessed to share this wonderful experience with her and know she is going to love it! I also get to throw her bachelorette party and be a part of the wedding party as a bridesmaid. I can't wait to be a part of her special day!

7) NO METRIC SYSTEM FOR TEN DAYS...Won't it be nice to wake up and know what the temperature means and how much gas costs in gallons. I think I have used my math skills a little too much in the last couple months and it will be nice to have a little rest.
8) FRIENDS...I won't list them all but you know who you are! I miss meeting up with friends, spending late nights at dance with my favorite girls and knowing if you needed to run errands you could find someone to go with you. I hope that I get to spend some quality time with each of them during my short trip.

9) TURNING LANES...Seriously those things are a stroke of genius and nobody should take them for granted. There is nothing more frustrating then getting stuck every second behind a car that is turning. Belive me I will be soaking in all the suicide lanes I can get!
10) THE MOUNTAINS....There is nothing more beautiful then being able to look out your window and see the Wasatch Mountains, not to mention they are great for finding your way around.

As you can see I am very excited about my trip home and I am beginning a count down now so you better get ready!
