Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

The week is here...we head back to the good 'ol US of A for our home leave. 

Since we moved we started keeping a list of things to pick up when we are in the States in July. As we used this list to put together our Amazon.com order, it got us thinking about some of the things that we missed about the States. 

Vitamin Water Zero 

The fact things don't open up until 10:30-11 am. 

It's hot, we should get this day going early! (Most office jobs don't start until 9 am as well.) 

American cable  

Target 

Hunting

Irish Spring soap 

(the one daily use product that does not exist here)

American sports on TV. 

(Oh how we both miss ESPN!)

Nachos, chicken wings, and burgers

The Today Show

Mexican food 

(contrary to popular belief curry flavored chicken does not equal fajitas) 

Coors Light 

American prices from wine, to electronics to clothing and everything in between 

Having two cars 

The Hasty Bake Smoker 

Cooking wild game meat 

A country music station in the car 

(but did we mention we have a cassette player in our car? For those of you who don't know what that is, it looks like this...)

La Grande Orange Restaurant in Phoenix

Opa and his friends 

Getting mail that's not a marketing flyer 

(although we do get awesome FedEx packages with our mail from home like the one below) 

Antacids that actually work. 

Everything out here is the strength of Tums which does you no good with curry chicken fajitas...

Our coffee machine

And of course all of our friends and family but we look forward to seeing you very soon!

Happy Trails,
Amy & Raegen
