Things we miss

So before we moved to MN Eric and I thought about all the things we would miss (and not miss) about living in Georgia. I went back to the old blog to see if the thigns we thought we would miss turned out to be true or not. Here was this list we made in May 2011:



  • Friends!! - We definitly still miss our friends!! More than we could have imagined!




  • Our CSA from Roots Farm - I dont miss this too much since we now live a block from a local co-op that I can walk to and buy fresh & local foods.




  • Pizza from Transmet - how could we NOT miss this?!? We have not found a substitution for Transmet in MPLS, a few close ones but nothing will ever compare!




  • Being close to the mountains and the beach - we dont miss this much since we have lots of open land here and a TON of lakes.




  • Spending time at Sandy Creek Park - I only miss canoeing on the Lake




  • Canoeing, camping and hiking with Michelle & Kelly! - Miss this SO much!




  • Movies on the lawn at the Kelley's  - YES! We miss going to the Kelley's for movies and this year's 4th of July will be lacking some crazy fireworks!!




  • Hiking through the Botanical Gardens (Greg & Eric do this pretty regularly, I know Eric will miss it!) We miss having this as an option but we think we have found a good substitute.... but there will never be a sub for Greg!




  • An early spring (with all the beautiful trees and flowers in bloom)  Knowing that the daphodills are probably in bloom right now in Athens....yes I miss this a lot!


  • The Founders Garden at UGA - Living with out it :)




  • ZUMBA classes at the YMCA and all my friends there! I still havent found a class that compares to the ones at the Athens Y!




  • Our church small group This is something we miss a lot as well. We have a small group here but we miss the connections we had with our friends in Athens! We learned a lot from you guys!




  • Eating out at The Last Resort, Taste of India, Farm 255, La Dolce Vita, and several other restaurants So we have a lot of resturants here that we are enjoying going to BUT we miss: Muffins from Walkers, Scones from Big City Bread, CHICK FLI A!, Crab Cakes from Last Resort, and many more...




  • Our first house I miss having our own place but I dont miss having to worry about fixing things and having a big space to clean!




  • Great Coffee from 1000 Faces We have some good local roasters here but still Love 1,000 faces!


  • Going to UGA football games... GO DAWGS!  The fall was not the same without college football but we still watched a few games on TV and cheered on our Dawgs!



  • Warm summer nights We actually have these in MN too! They just dont last as long :)
