Default Re: What Do You Miss About Your Former Hometown?

Funny you should bring this up. I've been here just a month and last night after the tree lighting I got so home sick, I couldn't believe it! I love it here, but we're from the suburbs of Chicago, so I can't believe I'm saying this but I do miss the lights on Michigan Ave. glistening through a few snowflakes. I miss knowing where everything is! I miss seeing the Museum of Natural History and remembering walking through it when I was 5 holding my father's hand. Also the school trips. I don't have any warm memories here yet, but I know they will come. Last night I watched tables full of people laughing, as if they've known each other for a long time. And I do know that will come with time. But I know we made the right move here, the people are all so friendly and I love our house and the market squares. So, probably this time next year, I'll be wondering what all of this mush was about! Anyway, great question. :bigthumbsup:
