"The List"

So today is the first day since I've been here where i really thought..."I miss this and this and this alot". I'm not one to obsessively miss things, especially since im in the Peace Corps and we are supposed to adapt to living with less. But today i get this sense that i miss certain things from back home. I decided to compile a list:

1. Webb City Cardinal football games
2. Wings and Coors Light at Buffalo Wild Wings
3. Seeing familiar faces in Walmart (that sounds so ridiculous)
4. DRIVING!
5. Late night drive thru
6. The town of Webb City and all its greatness
7. Pulling around the corner into my subdivision to see kids playing in the road
8. Float trips and camping
9. Garage parties
10. Random nights with old friends
11. Road trips for no reason
12. Pitt State football games/tailgating
13. Warm showers
14. Air Conditioning
15. Season changes
16. Bars where boys aren't constantly saying "hey white girl"
17. Blending in with the community
18. Hick talk (you know what i mean folks)
19. Sonic Happy Hour (Ice tea please)
20. Polos and plaid shorts
21. My dogs greeting me at the door
22. Never being bored because someone is always around
23. Interpersonal relationships with close friends
24. Moms homecookin'
25. Family being down the road
