Nádya asks me this type of question from time to time as well. So I presume that some of the rest of you are curious too. Hence, I will come up with a list of at least 5 things in no particular order:
- My parents, and brothers.
- Friends.
- Peanut Butter!
- My guitars--I have one here, which is a blessing, but it just is not the same as my others. I frequently find my self longing to play the other ones when I play it.
- Cars, driving--basically the freedom of movement allowed by having ones own transportation.
- My desk--Sounds a bit strange, but I miss having my computer set up on my desk a certain way. Quite a bit more space.
- Variety in food. The food here is good, but seems to lack the variety to which I have become accustomed.
What do you think you would miss most about home if you left for over 6 months?

Well, when I lived in Chile for a year as an exchange student in high school, what I missed most (apart from family and friends) was:
ReplyDelete*Tillamook cheddar cheese
*Having all my Christian music tapes with me (keep in mind, this was in 1991/92 -- I didn't own my first CD until 1995, and there were no computers or Internet). The cassette tapes I had brought with me were it, apart from the radio, but they didn't usually play my favorite kinds of music!
If I were to be gone from the States for that long now, I know I'd miss the variety of food options, too.
When I was in Wisconsin, I missed the weather here, aaannnd, my family, and friends, and church, and an income, and hills and mountains and trees that stayed green all year long, and not being on call, 24/7, and THE BEACH, and my dog....ok...so I don't have a dog, but if I did, I'm pretty sure I'd miss it, because I didn't like Wisconsin. Then again, had I had a husband, it might have been a little bit less of a traumatic change for me.
