Fifteen

Those who know me best know that I had a bad habit of counting down the days for events that I'm excited about.  Instead of counting down the days (15) until I set foot back on US soil, I thought it would be fun to think of 15 things I'm excited about in the States.

In no particular order (except the first one)

• Lots of quality time and laughter with family and friends
• Ethnic food (Korean, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, Mediterranean, Indonesian, etc.)  Can you tell I grew up overseas?
• Free refills 
• Sunshine, especially if it requires me to wear sunglasses
• Fall leaves changing colors
• The wide open blue Texas sky
• Christmas in Virginia.  I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.....
• Shopping and sales
• Worship at Grace Community
• A good haircut with no crazy Peruvian layers and no super short bangs.
• Diet Dr. Pepper
• Driving an automatic where people actually stay in their lane.  I apologize now if I over use my horn, it's the Peruvian way of communicating on the road.  
• The freedom from a Spanish language barrier, especially at the doctor and dentist!
• Mobilizing students for missions
• Sleeping in my bed

What would be on your list of "Things to Look Forward to When Going Home?"
