things i miss

i had a hard time thinking about what to blog about today. but then i thought about something that i am really missing today, and one thing lead to another until i came up with a whole list of things i miss. here they are (in no particular order)...

• mcalister's deli (all though there are rumors we are getting one about 15 min away)
• night out with the love of my life that do not have to be planned a week or two in advance so you can have a babysitter
• being able to eat whatever i want, whenever i want, and not gain a pound (oh, wait, did i ever have that? hahaha ok, maybe when i was 5)
• drinking diet coke all the time (i am a water only chick now - well, ok i drink 1 diet coke a day - but those that know me, know that is big deal)
• lunch dates with kirsten v at beagle bagel or mcalister's deli
• beagle bagel
• my brain (johnathan took half and then tori took the other half)
• my blonde hair (yes, it is light brown now - thanks to revlon)
• my clothes i wore before johnathan (i want those back before the year is over - and i will get them!)
• my freshman and sophomore year of college (those were some fun times!)
• being able to watch whatever i want on tv whenever i want - johnathan has control of the tv now (except for thursday nights from 8-9)
• the days when i did not have so much responsibility - being grown up is not as fun as i thought it was when i was 10
• being able to sleep late every saturday (i do get to some, when lee loses the coin toss the night before)
• chbc - don't get me wrong i love the church i go to now, chbc will always hold a special place in my life - i grew up there
• being caught up on laundry (i don't think i will ever get that one back)
• friends that i have not seen in forever because i live so far away from everyone
• zaxby's
• kyoto's fried rice and pink sauce
• being able to shop in peace (this is not possible with 2 kids - unless a babysitter is in the mix somehow)

i think the thing i miss the most today is the relationship i used to have with my sister. today is her 27th birthday and i can not tell her happy birthday. i love her more than she will ever know and i can't tell her. i still pray for the day that she will wake up and realize she needs Christ and that her children need a mom. i love you, crystal and happy birthday!
