Home Sick

Today I am feeling homesick - for my St. Charles home. It may sound silly to call it home because we only lived there 3 years, but once your friends become like family, it feels like home. I still can't figure out how to load these pics in order so this is what I don't miss:

just looking at this picture makes me shiver.
what this pic doesn't tell you is that with the wind chill, it's -20 degrees!
my snuggie



And WHAT I DO MISS:
hanging out in downtown Chicago
wearing sweats (not too sure what Steve is doing...)
my bff's. this is just a few of the great friends I left taken from one of our bunco nights. I miss these girls (and more not pictured).
my home - especially at christmas time.
the girls friends. they were such a huge part of our life and i didn't realize how much i would miss them all.
mads picks her friends wisely and had a few great friends who i love!
my a-day girls. seriously the sweetest, happiest bunch of girls ever. i had the best time leading them in so many activies for 2 years.
our YW. again, such a great group of girls and fun, happy leaders who made YW and girls camp fabulous for maddie.

mads & halina
ry, claire, livvy, jessie, & lunas
i also miss:
-movies with steve during the day in the theater room
- bi-weekly 3 hours lunches with susan
-trail walking with emily and our dogs
-antique shopping in quaint geneva and st. charles
-great neighbors who i could count on
-crafting with friends
-our 'station' workouts with steve, girls and makayla

I am grateful for the fun friends we have already met and got close to in san antonio. i'm sure that in 3 years, I'll grow to really love this place too...it just seems so long away.
