Missing Omaha

I had no idea how much we would miss Omaha until we were gone.  I tend to live towards the future and sometimes forget to live in the now.  I enjoyed Omaha, but had I known just how much I would have missed it, I would have maybe taken it all in a little more.

I really miss... 

chatting with my friends


Having fun RDEP parties



I can't believe how little Kinnie and Andrew were when we moved there!



The beautiful gardens!



The view out our front door, it never EVER got old



The once a week dane classes at the clubhouse and cute little recitals



The rainstorms!  The buckets of water that poured from the sky and amazing lightening storms


Decorating our little window 





The visitors!


"Our" swings.  We were pretty much the only ones who used these swings since we lived on the outskirts of the complex.





Kinnie's and Andrew's little room





Letting the kids roam the front yard while I worked on dinner



The ZOO!  I miss that place soooooo much!  




The big slides downtown


The gardens in the winter






Sharon!  We miss Sharon's friendly face and small conversation.  She always gave us little homemade gifts and lots of stickers and paper.


Lucy!  Our home was sandwiched right in between Sharon and Lucy, it was the best.  I miss Lucy's sweet sweet face and deep conversations.   She was a smart lady and had a lot of opinions.  I just liked to listen to her.


Those are just a few of the things:)  Andrew asks if we are going to go back to Omaha to visit.  I would love to go back and visit someday!
