I miss the apple trees in my ginormous backyard.
I miss my wonderful neighbors.
I miss the huge driveway next door that Maicee could ride her trike in.
I miss the little neighbor girls that Maicee always played with.
I miss being able to push Maicee in the swing in our front yard.
I miss my sun room.
I miss all the people in my friendly ward.
I miss the park just down the road.
I miss the library.
I miss being able to walk to the grocery store.
I miss my running path around the lake.
I miss going on bike rides.
I miss my work friends and having a purpose to my life.
I terribly miss my family.
I miss my hard wood floors.
I miss being able to put Daisey in the garage so I can have time to myself for at least 5 minutes.
I miss two lane highways.
I miss being able to see 2 temples any time I want.
I miss going to the temple.
I miss having insurance.
I miss my doctors.
I miss having money.
I miss sleeping.
I miss Maicee's high chair.
Things I don't miss about Idaho:
Worrying about Maicee being bit by a hobo spider. Instead, I get to worry about this:
Yep, that's a black widow. Luckily, it was only in our garage. I have yet to find one inside.
I don't miss the crazy Idaho weather. It is supposed to be 85 degrees today.
I don't miss being away from Maicee all day.
I don't miss high gas prices.
Oh, and did I mention there is a registered sex offender 4 houses away? That's less than 25 yards from us. Maicee will never get to play outside again.
I do like Colorado, I think I'm just being nostalgic today.

I miss you too Jamie. I wish there was something I could do to help you feel better about Colorado. I'm glad at least you have blogging so we can keep in touch with you and keep up on your life, and you keep up on ours!
give it at least 4 years and then Dan will be done and you can go to where you REALLY want to go. Anywhere!! :) I know i'm far away, but let me know if there's anything I can do to help! Our guest room is all set up now :D (hehe!)
Idaho and I miss you too. Although I have to admit that I have a similar list about Wisconsin but it gets a little shorter every year as I forget more about home.
Oh I am so sorry you are feeling that way. I am also having Florida withdrawals. Come over ANY time!! Honestly we can grumble together and maybe even learn to love it here. ;)
It made me so happy to have you as neighbors. We (def. my kids included) miss you guys. The new neighbors are great, but nothing on you! You are welcome to come back anytime!
