This morning brings a rare opportunity - time awake before Sam is up. Unfortunately, it is because he was sick throughout the night, but I am thankful he is resting now. After traveling to Asia for the last 5 weeks, Sam and I are blissfully home! Here are some things I have missed...
...COOKING! Chopping veggies, putting the compost in the freezer, figuring out how to use cast iron to make my eggs do what I want - I've missed it all. Oh, my kitchen! ...amazon. Am I so basic for having this be the second thing? It is just so convenient and we often have gift cards/credit card points. I got new kitchen scissors, a funnel, and a mesh strainer yesterday (for $2.89 out of pocket) and I am anxiously awaiting their arrival. ...the RAW DEAL - aka the best coffee shop known to man. Sitting in there and sipping a lavender iced latte yesterday was a highlight. (Even though I lost at chess 3 times in a row.) ...sweet potatoes. I've already had them a few times. I went to Hot Pot while we were gone and was excited to see a sliced sweet potato on the conveyor belt. When I dug the cooked orange disk out of my boiling pot, it turned out to be a carrot. Major sad face. ...communication. Holy disconnected batman. Two of my best friends made some major life decisions while I was gone and it was really hard not being there while this was happening. I missed weekly phone calls with my mom and being able to text my sister or Lexie every mundane or exciting thing that happened throughout my day. ...the farmers market! I am so excited to go today. I am going to get veggies & eggs & boba tea, because they didn't have any in Asia (the irony). ...seeing Sam's family! I'm used to visiting on the reg, especially in the summertime - we see them almost weekly, sometimes more! Sweet Ann left flowers, chocolate, and snacks hidden throughout our apartment, not to mention a refrigerator full of groceries. Soooo thankful. ...sitting down to the breakfast table with a cup of coffee made by my incredible husband. Do you know how good coffee is? It is very, very, very good. I love coffee.

I'm guessing I'll have it all figured out by the time I turn 30.
