As I am preparing to leave the Dominican and return to the states I am realizing there are many things I am excited about returning to and many things I will miss as I leave.
I am excited about:
-seeing my family
-Mexican Food
-putting toilet paper in the toilet
-having a hot shower
-being able to wear long sleeves
-not sweating
-spending time with old friends
-the smells of Christmas (mom baking pies in the kitchen!)
-chick-fil-a
-diet dr. pepper
-sharing what God has been doing at Doulos
Things I will miss:
-the daily noise of my 2nd grade classroom and their sweet smiles
-my Dominican family
-jugo de chinola
-Cafe Taino
-Columbianas and their amazing cachapas
-Ruth and Lissette (two of my high school friends at Doulos)
-talking in spanglish with Rachel
-my new friends
-tranquilo-ness
-getting rides from a moto-concho
-beautiful blooming flowers

Hi, Meredith,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you remember me, but I just recently found your blog (through Lisa Butler's maybe?) and have sat and read through older entries and just really enjoyed seeing what all you're up to! I guess I won't be a blog stalker now, since I'm typing a comment. I'm glad to see you're doing well. You look beautiful and happy! --Jaime (Stoddard) Rinehart
