The only thing I miss about "back home" is my hubby working! LOLOL I really do not miss Illinois. I love waking up to palm trees, spacious beautiful skies. I love our home and wonderful new friends. And our friends from Illinois have visited or will be visiting, I talk to them constantly on the phone, so we are very much in touch. Our kids are all over the map, so they weren't in Illinois for many years. We've been here 8 mos. now and it really feels like home and more. I still wake up asking myself how I got this lucky. (Especially when I heard about the horrendous weather Chicago had this year!)
