The Grass Is Always Greener...

So, as you may remember, or can look back on this blog, I didn't exactly love living in Libya. Oops. The truth is out : ) 

As we have now been back for over six months now, Rob and I both have discussed what we miss from Libya and that we wish we could go back. That's a mean trick I play on myself. Always wishing I am where I'm not, and forgetting to just enjoy what I'm doing and where I am right now. (although I do really enjoy being in Idaho, and working) Since realizing this, I really have been trying to stop wishing, and just live. Ha, that's about as deep as it gets...right? 

Anyway, here are a few pictures from the blog, and things that I miss about Libya...(never thought I would say those four words together 'I miss about Libya')

Turkish Restaurant: They had the best food there, hands down. 

The Sea (NOT the trashy beaches, but I could see the sea from my kitch window. That was nice.)

Traveling

The Medina, Old City, Green Square...whatever you want to call it.
Walking around downtown.

O2 Best Pancakes in Libya! Well, maybe it's more sentimental?  

Our funny little apartment...NOT the roaches. Well, I think there was only one. I taped an envelope over the hole he would crawl in and out of, and I never saw him again. 

The weird things we would amuse ourselves with..

We never could break the egg by pushing the ends...btw.

The Mangos! I just can't make this salsa here, it doesn't taste right.

The weather?? Sometimes.

Always being on a mission to make something from home out of the ingredients I could find here and there. It was a fun game I played with Rocco.

When Rocco actually helped around the house. I can't get him to do anything these days!  : )


Well, that's all I have pictures of. I also really miss my things I had to leave there. Which is silly. They're just things. For the most part I've replaced my wardrobe, but there are things that can't be replaced. Souvenirs from our trips, Rocco's baby book, Rob's baseball mitt, and just random things I am weirdly attached to.
Anyway, there's my post for today. Maybe another one for tomorrow? I just don't know :)
For now, I need to go running. I was doing bootcamp at work every day, but now they only do it Mon, Wed, Fri. So I have to muster up my own motivation on the other days. I'm not so good at that. As for the running, it's a love hate relationship. I was just told on Saturday(? I think) that I will be doing the Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure in a couple weeks, so I should probably as least try to prepare? I just don't want to walk it, it will take forever, and I have to work at noon. Eh, it's only a few miles.... we'll see. We'll see.

Have a good day everyone!
