A year ago today we had our Penske loaded up, our snacks and Sonic in tow, as we headed back west. I've been thinking about Georgia A LOT lately, so I thought I would highlight a few "What I'm missing most" like I did awhile back about AZ when I was freezing my tail off!
Fall. As in Autumn. You know, the season that barely shows it's face here? It's cooler for sure, but that's the only indication we know it's upon us. Granted...it's 88 degrees today. Fall in Georgia is incomparable!
Dinner/Game night with our friends. We miss spending time with their cute kids, eating a fabulous meal - rarely, if ever, prepared by moi...which is why it was always delish and playing Settlers or Sequence or Speed Scrabble til late! Ok, did any of the games we play start with a letter other than "S"???
Driving in the country. I'm a city girl at heart, always have been, always will be. But every once in awhile I wish I could take that 2 min drive from my apartment where there was nothing but vast stretches of green fields and tall trees. I do not miss the roadkill tho. Ew.
Extended Hoodie season!!! I own more than the average Arizonan I think. Unless over 25 isn't alot? I always had an excuse to buy more b/c it was colder longer!
GA home architecture. If i could load one up and bring it over here on a flatbed, I'd do it right now. I can't think of seeing a single house that had an ounce of stucco on it! Love love love!!!
Southern hospitality (totally real), thick accents and having someone end your phone call with, "Have a blessed day!"
Ray Charles pretty much sums it up for me right now:
Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps
I'm sayin'
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I said
Ooh
Just an old sweet song
Keeps
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps
I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps

You need to come out here right now, we just busted out all our long sleeves and sweaters! We also had soup for dinner last night
Awwwhhhh....didn't think I'd ever hear you say you missed Georia. Funny how that happens-- I never thought in a million years I'd live here, much less call it home, but it is. And now my kids are Rednecks so there's no sense in leavin' now. Ya'll come back and visit now-- I haven't played a game since you left.
You own over 25 HOODIES!??? Increadible!! I love this post, the East Coast is the best. Lets go on a trip sometime! Love you lots!
What? Pretty sure that me and Bryce love settlers! And we live right down the street. Oh I see...I guess our kid's not cute enough.
Glad to hear you say that you miss it because we sure miss you guys!!! It just isn't the same without you. I am sitting here in my hoodie looking at the fall colors outside as I type....
