Things I am missing
Posted by Kristen on Dec 14, 2010 in Family, Foreign Service, Friendship, Switzerland | 0 commentsI miss baking cookies with my mom! Last yr my mom was with us while we waited for Owen to make his debut. We made cookies with Jackson together. It was so much fun. Almost daily I tell her I wish she could hop a plane and come on over!
I miss Chickfila. I would love to pack my kids up and head over to Chickfila for a good old lunch with a clean play area! Sounds silly, but I miss it!
I miss being able to go to the store and buy some jeans…or things in general . Everything is Switzerland is ridiculously marked up!!! I mean ridiculously! For example, a starbucks tall hot chocolate is $7.80.
I miss being able to Christmas shop in person. I know we are spoiled, we have a mail system and lots of online shopping but I love getting to pick out gifts in ways other than sitting at a computer.
I miss people speaking my language. I had a really annoying morning and mostly because I don’t speak German! I am spoiled in that most people in Bern speak English, but it’s just not the same.
I miss Tex- Mex food. I wish I could hop over to Lupe Tortilla!
Enough of the things I miss. I am thankful for where we are! Just a little homesick!
