Simple Things

Sometimes it’s the simple things…


We’ve had plenty of new experiences here so far, some good and some bad. We’ve planned our trip home for the summer and we’re excited to get to taste and experience some things we miss. It’s kind of amazing how sometimes we just miss the simple things from American life. Here’s the beginning of our list of things we want to make sure we do when we get back…
• It goes without saying, but lots of good time with family and friends
• Lots of good food. A real American hamburger, a good steak (even Erica), ice cream (especially Morton DQ), BBQ, wings at Buffalo Wild Wings, ….Hopefully we’ll find some good American fast food at our first airport we hit when we arrive – or better yet, a big soft pretzel.
• Big pops from the BP station
• Bike rides
• Sweet tea and free refills
• Skiing at Lake Wawasee
• Throwing a football or Frisbee around Peachtree City or the Kipfer front yard
• A walk in a nice park, or any open grassy area. We don’t have many of those here in the big city.
• …and many more!

Needless to say, there are some things about America that we just haven’t been able to find here. Sometimes the best things in life are the simple ones.

It's settled then, Amber, we'll enjoy some fountain pops together (or at least some cans of Diet Coke:)
And Jason, we'll plan a double date for the Morton DQ.
Troy, that's the only reason I even run, so I can eat more of that stuff:) We'll definitely have to meet up - maybe at the Syracuse DQ:)

I see you forgot to mention meeting your new nephew :) He's excited to meet you and his momma is even more thrilled for your visit! We don't have the polar pops around for Kevin, but we do have 3 CFA's near! Love you both!
