Things That I Never Thought I Would Miss and Now Do...

 Driving/riding in a car.
      -Florence in a very walkable city, as are most places in Europe. However, there is something to be said about being able to get into your car and just go. The chance to drink you're morning coffee and listen to radio during the daily commute, is something that I've come to miss.

Skittles/Starbursts
     -It's unbelievable how much I miss fruity candy!

Peanut Butter
     -I miss it on toast, apples and in cookies! Creamy and crunchy are created equal!

Washer and Dryer
     -I'm going to fully enjoy walking down the hallway to do my own laundry and not a mile into town.

"American" drip coffee
     :(

Dad's Sunday breakfasts
     -As much as a like yogurt and corn flakes... I don't like it that much every morning.

A full size bed
     -I haven't slept in a twin since I was 8 years old!

Medical professionals that drive emergency response vehicles.
     -This week during our final soccer game, my friend Ben was injured and dislocated his knee cap! After calling an ambulance, we had to wait 45 mins for them to arrive, 20 to load him and another 40 to make it to the hospital!!! Come to find out, Italian medics are only volunteers and cannot administer any sort of care/drugs another than transport. Poor Ben!!! The stretcher across the cobble stones was brutal.

A gym
     -LA Fitness is sounding rather glorious at the moment.

Family movie night.
     -A movie on the couch with mom's kettle corn and coffee.

Washington fall leaves
    -The NW reds/yellows and oranges that come with the autumn season.


But not that I'm complaining! I am loving my time here, although I do think that you don't realized what you miss until you don't have it any longer.
