Home is where the heart is...

My friend Alisa tagged me a while ago and I've been thinking about it... She wanted to know what things you miss about where you used to live. The only rule: it can't be food. What?!?! That was so hard for me because, well, I love food. (evidence? see previous post) But, we have fond memories about places we've lived, even Pocatello. So, here goes.

THINGS I MISS...

From College Station, Texas:

• Swimming 322 days of the year
• Seeing half the town wearing maroon
• A Gold's Gym with FREE (!) babysitting
• Aggie Baseball games
• Sitting around and talking about rhetoric with great colleagues and teachers
• HEB (ok, technically "food" but it's the best grocery store! Seriously they would have "Meal Deals" where you would buy hotdogs and get buns, soda, mustard, grated cheese, and chips for free!! Plus, they had the best homemade tortillas...made right in front of you! Ok, I'm getting easily sidetracked...)
• The best thunderstorms ever...it would rain so hard you couldn't see three feet in front of you and the thunder was amazing.
• Fourth of July and Easter celebrations at the G.H.W. Bush Presidential Library
• Great friends who became our family while we were far from our own families

Cash's Answer: March and OctoberFrom Pocatello, Idaho:

• $285 rent -- for 5 years!
• The best ward Halloween parties
• Concerts in the Park at Ross Park (except for the one where we learned that baby Spencer was allergic to peanuts. That was scary.)
• The constant rumors that this big store or that nice restaurant were coming to Pocatello. Almost always false.
• A great, supportive department and advisor.
• $1.79 gas
• True friendships forged over the shared struggles of being poor and newlywed

Cash's Answer: Sunday walks through the neighborhood by ISU reading Dave Barry to each other.


So, how about you? What things do you miss about the places you've lived? If you have lived and loved somewhere else...You're tagged! You College Station and Pocatello friends...I can't wait to read yours!
