Home (well, RI home, and for a little bit)

Things I realized I miss:

• Sandy beaches
  
• Peanut butter
  
• Family (I knew that already)
  
• Fresh fruit and veggies from the garden (although it's pretty great in France too)
  
• American cereal (specifically frosted mini wheats and multi-grain cheerios)
• Playing with little kids in pools
• Lighthouses
• Being barefoot, all the time
  
• Talking to all of my friends for hours on the phone
• Snuggling with my puppy
• The sea breeze
  
• Take-out Chinese (I could live without it)
• Having my own cell phone (could live without that, too)
• The pool
• Never taking off my bathing suit
  
• Falling asleep to the ocean noises

To be continued!

I'm so lucky to have been able to fly back to RI for my granparents' 50th wedding anniversary! My time has been super filled with family and friends. The party was a lot of fun, even though I didn't know 98% of the 50-ish people there. I got to hang out with my cousins a lot, and we had some great family friends over last night. Today, my dad and I are going on a kayaking adventure. Pics to come!
