Homesick List

I should probably admit that about a year before we moved, I was "itching" to get away. I thought that maybe if we spent a year, or even three months in a far off land, I could feel homesick for Skagit Valley. I badly wanted to feel homesick, knowing we lived in an incredible community.

Now that we have lived in Austin, TX for over 3 months, I am realizing some things that I miss about Skagit Valley. This is a living list - I will update it as I realize new additions.

1. Family
2. CTK
3. Friends
4. The sight and smell of the Pacific Ocean
5. Good water
6. Good coffee
7. Cutting down a fresh Christmas tree
8. Fitz in the morning
9. Cooler weather for Miranda
10. Fresh produce and the Farmer's Market
11. Large selections of fresh seafood
12. Alex getting to see Kara
13. Devin's CTK Burlington Youth Group
14. Miranda sharing the same accent as her classmates
