Recent Things That Made Us Smile
Today makes one week! One week not being home spending time with family and friends, working or loving on our dog, Dudley. I am sure soon enough one year will pass by as quickly as this first week has. I still wonder when it will hit Luis and I that Atlanta is now our home and not a vacation? And when will I stop missing home? At least there have been some little things that have made Luis and I smile…
- A puddle that turned into ice
- A young woman at Atlantic Station wearing bright purple tights
- How Luis has been organizing everything and doing the laundry
- All the buildings with Christmas decorations
- Cutting paper snow flakes with Luis to hang in our living room window
- Using our awesome cooking pots and pans… finally! (Thanks Mom!)
- Bundled up little kids that look like mini snowmen
- The temperature
- Planning a trip to Zoo Atlanta
- Getting to use the little dishes I got from a one yen store (dollar store) in Tokyo
- Target and Ikea being less than a mile from our apartment
- How Luis can’t sit still
- The view from our living room
- Keeping our malanga plant alive by moving it around the apartment so it could get sun
- Saving money by finding two for one deals
- Ice skating in the middle of a park
- The fraternity house dog
- The Varsity, even though we haven’t eaten there yet… Waiting for Luis’ parents =)
