Homesick..

Rachel:

Homesickness…. It’s finally here. We’ve been okay for about seven months, but we’ve hit the breaking point about now. I think seeing my parents and then having this trouble with school has pushed me over the edge. I don’t know what Kurtis’ excuse is. We’ve been talking about things we miss about home and I’ve compiled a list:

- Pop-tarts

- Wal-Mart at 401/Morningside

- SCARBOROUGH TOWN CENTRE x 1,000,000

- Our own beds

- Costco (and the food from it)

- Cosmo (Kurtis’ cat, and I can’t say I miss her that much)

- Driving places instead of using public transit

- H&M

- Reasonably priced clothes

- Reasonably priced eating out

- Red Lobster

- Soft chocolate chip cookies

- Shamrock Burger (mmmmm)

- Having our laundry done

- Full fridges

- The Beaches

- The EX

- Cottages

- A TV with more than 6 channels

- Our family

- Our friends

- Insulation

- No data restrictions for downloading on the internet

- CANADA!

You never realize how much you love your country until you leave it…

  1. Dear Rachel and Kurtis,
    We had such a great time seeing you. Mom and I were reassured that you guys can just about handle anything; we're so proud of you. Reading the homesick list makes us think that our visit was the ultimate cure for homesickness; hence the low placement of "Family and Friends" on the list!!!!!! (JOKE JOKE JOKE)
    Hang in there guys-only 31/2 more months.
    Love DAD

  2. OK so I get it we are right there below every possible food and or shopping item but we do come ahead of fast data and insulation!

    Careful not to eat any bad chook or you might end up crook. Aussie words from uncle Stephen.

    Happy Labour Day
