These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

So, I've been thinking about things that I think I'll miss when I move to Jakarta, Indonesia for the next two years, and here is a list of what I've come up with so far.  If anything, I think it will be interesting to look back at this list over time and compare it to what I actually miss.
  

1. my friends, 

1. my family, and the Polinske family

1. getting together with friends for lunch/dinner 

1. going to Madison for the weekend 

1. calling to chat and catch up with friends whenever I think of it 

1. the change of seasons (I love Spring and Fall) 

1. the lilacs at my dad’s farm 

1. my new bed (one of my first, "real, adult" purchases)

1. the Badgers and Packers 

1. snow days -- no school and so I can wear my new scarf, favorite hat and mittens 

1. singing at church (and seeing everyone there) 

1. volleyball on Sunday nights (getting dirty in the sand) 

1. the public library (with the endless supply of books...in English) 

1. my car and being able to drivewhenever/wherever I want and get there in a timely manner 

1. going home to hang out with my dad (he’s so amazing that he deserves a place on the list in addition to the family spot) 

1. sending “snail mail” (I realize it will be much easier to update my blog or facebook, but I think mailing letters is so much more fun and makes me feel nostalgic...or something
