Lil homesick

Yellow maple leaves

Hungry Howie's pizza and coke in the afternoon

Driving around late at night listening to Fall Out Boy

Sitting on the dock at Hubbard Lake and skimming my feet in icy water

Being excited about wearing new clothes to school

Digging feet into the sand while sitting on a towel at the beach and letting the body drip dry

The smell of mom's spaghetti and meatballs and dad's spare ribs and homemade french fries

Granma's piano and color coded keys and oreo cookies

Matt putting water in the wine bottle and thinking it would pass

Scrub pants being the most comfortable uniform in the world

Small talk with patients and the way the ultrasound department smelled

Walking around campus in the fall and sleeping in the library

Three months and 3 days until you are back. I can't wait! The time will go fast. Can you believe you've been there seven months? I think you land about 10pm, so we'll stop and pick up Hungry Howies.

Did you realize you had a lot of fall references when MI is about to burst into spring? I thought that was a very interesting twist. Must be all that Miami-type weather. Ha. It would be hard for me to not have the seasons change, so I can understand. It is a beautiful day here with the sun out and 50 degrees. I realize I have a million leaves in the yard. Can I leave them for you to rake? I'm not fond of raking... You said you miss yellow maple leaves...
