A Few of My Favorite Things

We have now been living in the land of milk and honey for almost 3 weeks. It's kind of crazy in lots of ways, but time is flying by. There are a lot of things I love about daily life here and these are just a few.


Laundry is so much quicker with a machine. It's amazing. And, when we use a dryer our clothes actually get dry before turning moldy. Yay!!





Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with squat toilets. In fact, the one in our house was just about as good as they come, but I'm a fan of the western version. I don't have to plug my nose every time I enter the bathroom. That's a beautiful thing considering I go in about 25 times a day. (Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration!)


Any who know me very well know that I'm not a good cook, but I absolutely love having an oven and a stove with more than one unit. I actually want to bake and cook because it has been so long since I've had the chance. Plus, the boneless, skinless chicken is amazing!!




We have been eating cereal like crazy. We just can't seem to get enough of it. We love having fresh milk in gallon containers. We go through so much. I'm pretty sure we're making up for our lack of calcium the past couple of years.



It might seem rather lame, but these things are still new and exciting to me. I'm sure that it won't be long before I'm complaining about doing laundry, cleaning the bathroom, cooking, and bored of milk. I know I'll take it for granted, but for now I just smile every time I see them. :D

When I got back from Brazil I was excited to be able to put toilet paper in the toilet (instead of the trash)!!!! We are very spoiled here.
