Day 28: Something that you miss.

First of all, SAD! I only have 2 days left of my challenge!

Today’s challenge is something I miss!

Which, is a lot. I was born and raised in Minnesota before moving out of state right before my 20th birthday. I have been in Arizona since March of 2003 and while I love it, I miss family traditions that I am used to back home. I miss visiting family every Sunday. I miss bon fires, going up north. I miss friends from high school that I haven’t seen since graduation. I miss my sister’s and my grandma.

On another note, you know what I really miss (especially now that I am a parent). I miss when swimming in lakes was an okay thing to do. I miss when drinking out of the water hose was not considered the nastiest thing ever. I miss playing outside all day, not having to worry when all the neighborhood kids got together to play night games in everyone’s yards. I miss how simple everything used to be!

What do YOU miss?
