things i realized i miss

this weekend was the first time since spring break that i have been out of longview (aside from a few trips to the airport for work, but that doesn't really count). i live a sad life......

but anyways...i am happy at school - i really am. i enjoy dorm life and usually don't mind classes too much (although this semester has been a struggle with that). i like not having to report to anyone (unless i really mess up) and not having anyone to look after. i don't have to cook, barely have to clean, the list goes on... but everytime i get away i realize how much i miss things that i don't experience while living in the dorms. this weekend was no exception...so here's my list :)

~being in a home

~sitting at a dining-room table

~eating a meal without a tray

~walking around bare-foot all day

~swings

~watching kids play

~eating real mashed potatoes and meat

~road trips

~sleeping on the floor

~climbing trees

~riding a lawn-mower (they just purchased one - a john deere, zero-turning radius beauty)

~being able to see for miles

~hearing farm stories from the growing-up years (becky's mom was raised on a south dakota farm)

~watching horses run
