Things I miss in California

Here is a list, not in any particular order, about what I miss most in California...

I miss....

*Getting authentic Mexican food 24 hours a day

*Getting the best, cheapest Chinese food AROUND! Cathay Chinese Food YUM! :)

*That fabulous dry heat, it can 110+ and not feel as hot as Virginia in the low 90's

*Having street signs on every stop light post, IN THE CENTER, where you can find out where you are going WHILE watching where you are driving

*I love how almost EVERY gas station has a working car wash

*Being an hour from the beach

*Being an hour from the mountains

*Being 2 hours from LA

*Being 1.5 hour from San Diego

*The speed limit on the freeways 70MPH

*The speed limit on busy streets 55MPH

*Seeing cop cars everywhere in their sweet Chargers

*Seeing those boys in those tight-girl pants (all sagging out here)

*INnOUT: grilled cheese animal style... to die for

*All those housing tracts... they feel like home to me now

*Del Taco (I haven't seen one anywhere on the East Coast)

*How we get like 10+months of sun a year, if not more

*Those really simple and straight forward on ramps and off ramps

*Not really needing directions, since you can see EVERYTHING!

*Being able to drive past our old family house and relive those memories

*Not being able to go ANYWHERE, no matter how far, without seeing someone you knew

*Nice people... Seems most people are rude and don't care

*Customer Service!!! Wal-Marts have always been bad, but out here it is way worse

*My family: Luke & Nessa are very missed!!!! :(

*My church family, been going to the same church since I was in 6th grade

*Those amazing parks everywhere

*Seeing my hometown evolve and expand

*Being able to smell a BBQ any day of the week

*My work: I loved helping customers, Lowe's ROCKS!

*Being in the grocery store and having every race, gender and type of person all on the same aisle

*How almost every car that had tags was fine to be behind on the freeway. Some cars are as bad as the buses!

*Taking walks, seeing people running/jogging all day

*All our man made lakes :)

WOW! That's it? It kinda felt like more? I personally think it all has to do with great family and friends. All the rest is just extras that I can live with out... Well maybe not the food. I love food!
