What I miss in the USA

---

The title could also be "Things that I love"

-Having coconut popsicles with Randy & Clare and acting like I know what's going on during the Mariners game
-Cuddling with Pooters the cat
-Drinking german beer with Chris & Krista
-Getting coffee & laughing my head off with Sof, Jen & Nicole
-Drinking wine & talking about life with my sister
-Playing house with Amelia and Eli- or just hugging them and hearing them say my name "Hey tati!"
-Going boating with my parents
-Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese
-Driving my car
-Going to the library and checking out five million books
-Being able to read every sign and menu!

Things I am thankful for here:

-Video chatting & talking on gmail daily with my brother and sister in law...it's like nothing has changed!
-Having Marts here to cuddle, cook and calm me down. 😊
-Pringles
-The peanuts they serve before dinner at restaurants
-a new sense of humor
-THE INTERNET!

We started up Chinese class again today, woohoo! Thank goodness for that. 😊

Missing Ichiro
Ha Ha I knew the little guy would get to you! I miss hearing you yell out his name at any lull in the game! Pooties sends you a snuggle and a cuddle--xomamac
