This house loves "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and he does a segment called Pros & Cons. I cannot help but being nostalgic about things that I know I will miss. I am a little obsessed about what I am leaving behind and not looking forward into the unknown.... I thought I would make it a lesson in turning the negative to positive, which I need as much practice with as Mandarin.
~CON~PRO~
I will miss hopping in my mini-van and shopping at Costco~I won't have to lug heavy cases of anything or pay for gas
I will miss Propel water, especially after a run ~ Plain water is cheaper
I will miss Facebook ~ more time to read the scriptures
I will miss American TV (reality, SF Giants, Netflix) ~ maybe I'll write a book
I will miss being able to communicate easily ~ I will be able to break the terrible habit of eavesdropping
I will miss living 5 minutes from the school ~ I won't be at the kids' school volunteering everyday for everything
I will miss my home ~ I won't have to clean 3,400 square feet
I will miss seeing my roses, hydrangeas, lilacs and peonies bloom ~ no more rose thorn injuries
I will miss seeing my friends ~ I'll make new friends
I will miss bright, blue skies ~ I'll notice it and cherish it when it does appear
I will miss Mexican Food ~ Maybe I'll shed a few pounds

Way to stay positive. Just think of me when you see gray skies on a daily basis... We'll appreciate those few days together! But at least you are somewhere exciting.
Just stumbled on your blog by accident! Glad I read a little more. We're currently living in Beijing, attending the 1st branch, which is (I think) the branch you'll also be in. :) And...are you the same Jen I've been emailing? Or are there 2 Jens moving to the branch this summer???
can you watch t.v. online? hulu? abc.com that sort of thing?
