Things I Miss...

I love what I'm doing, and I am so grateful to have this opportunity, but of course there are things I miss.  

Fishy faces of Christian and me

rock climbing at Summersville Lake

• Ritter Park this time of year with the sound of leaves crunching under my boots and the smell of fireplaces in the air
• Talking to Erin about 5 times a day...at least
• Living a block away from Christian and Faith
• the familiarity of going to the Union and knowing 75% of the population there
• Chipotle, Qdoba or Moes - guacamole!
• The sound of a furnace kicking on
• The porch on my old apt where I could people watch and drink coffee
• rock climbing with the Damrons
• The comforting silence after a big snow
• DiCarlos pizza ($1 bag extra cheese please, and no crust)
• my fellow road warriors who helped me have fun even if it was a fair with 2 attendees or no AC or a boring conference
• my Marshall recruitment family who taught me, nurtured me and encouraged me to be my best, you made me honestly enjoy coming to work (almost) every day!
• Having somewhere else to read/use a computer/write/do anything else besides work and eat, other than my bed
• tofu seasoned with curry and sauteed with mushrooms in a fajita with avocado and cheese
• cooking
• a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon
• my mom's chili with cheese sour cream and rice
• burrowing my feet under my roommate/family/anyone I know sitting next to me on a couch on a cold day's bum
• Glee, Bones, So You Think You Can Dance, Modern Family, The Office
• Two days off a week
• the ability to jump in my car and go somewhere if I wanted to
• belly dancing class with Michelle
• watching Law & Order SVU marathons while napping on my couch on a Sunday
• Fr Dennis in Wheeling and Fr Dennis at the Newman Center's homilies
• Newman Center fun
• not wearing shoes in the shower     



Sweeeeeeeeeet Caroline! Oh Oh Oh!

• baths
• Singing loudly when I feel like it

• Daily Show and Colbert Report
• iPhone (sad, but true, to be able to see the text conversation back and forth and e-mail and internet and apps!)
• sushi
• trips with Gretchen
• fall or Christmas smelling candles
• pumpkin spice lattes
• all my friends and family!
