What do You Miss?

The other day I was facetiming my mom and her friends. I got asked what is something (besides my family and pets) that I am already missing about 3 weeks in. Im missing simple things. Even though I'm surrounded by my favorite food (Pasta) I'm missing like a hamburger or french fries, but once we are traveling different places on weekends we will experience new food! I definitely miss American portion sizes. When you get an entree here I feel hungry still after, Pasta is considered a first course so I really think you are suppose to get a salad with it too, but I can't afford getting a salad and pasta everyday! But I think what I'm missing most is having easy access to everything I have at home, like stuff as simple as clothes. The weather has been all over the place here. Its finally reached the perfect temperature during the day, but in the morning and at night its a bit more chilly. I went on a run this morning we wished I had packed just one more long sleeve t-shirt. But besides that I think what i miss most is people who speak english. I know that sounds selfish, but the language barrier does cause some problems.... it at least makes everything a little more difficult.

But back in the Burgh my little buddy Mr. Fluffy (better known as Louie) is missing me. Yesterday I received several pictures of him looking around my room for me! My total time over seas is 4 months, just over 18 weeks. Once Wednesday hits I will be here for 3 weeks so only 15 weeks left. It seems crazy to me that in one more week a whole month has gone by. So Mr. Fluffy in 105 days I will be back for you. But its mind blowing to me that in that short 105 days I would've traveled to at least 13 places.
