Thursday...

Here are some random thoughts about what I miss (some that I had even forgotten) about living in Denver. First and most importantly my family (I could NEVER forget this one, no matter how hard I may try to push it out of my mind.) My friends and just randomly bumping into people I know at the store, or the salon, or the mall. I forgot how much I miss my radio station (I had forgotten about that one!) It's amazing how just the right song can brighten up your day! I miss the weather and having NO humidity, I have had good-hair-days. My curly hair and the humidity are just not a good combination! Knowing the city and how to get everywhere. I feel like I get turned around a LOT back home, since everything is so spread out. And let's face it, it takes a good year or two to really "know" all of the freeways and roads where you live. I miss the convenience of everything being right at your fingertips, and Target being 10 minutes away. I miss all of the really inexpensive pedicure shops that are on nearly every corner here. I miss my favorite stores here, Anthropology, Tallulah Jones, Patina, and the JoAnns out by my old house. (Wendy- Tallulah Jones was so much fun yesterday, I am so glad you came with me!) I miss the sunsets over the gorgeous mountains that you can see off the back deck at my parents house. The crisp air, and the blue sky. I miss family gatherings and walking into restaurants to tell the hostess that we have a group of 14 people. I miss a few restaurants here that are no where to be found back home, one is PF Changs, and then also Chick-Fil-A. I made a list and had to eat at both during our visit. Everything is nearly crossed off the "to-do in Colorado" list, so tomorrow we are heading home. A long drive is ahead. But I just keep thinking about all of the new scrapbooking products that will be waiting for me when I get there, and that makes it a little better. It's always so hard to say goodbye. Hope you are all having a great week!
