1. my family, I get to see them in 19 days. I can't wait to eat mom's dish again, play with my nieces, hug my brothers, kiss grandma, and go crazy with all my cousins. Yay!
2. my roommates who have been like sisters to me. They are my remedy for homesickness. Yes, it's been 7 years and I still get homesick (sad face)
3. friends who seek the best in me, support and want to see me succeed
4. a place to go to for Thanksgiving
5. my mission president and his wife. Although I hardly see them, the random phone call, the unexpected postcard on holidays, and the kind words inside brighten my day
6. my work that enables me to serve, love, and care.
7. my religion. The Gospel has blessed me so much that I forget how tough it can be without it.
8. health. I have been so healthy and strong. I am grateful for this body I have that I can move and do many things.
9. trust. Other people put their trust in me.
10. and the obvious things: snow in the mountains so that I can go snowboarding again, my car so that I don't have to wait for the bus in the cold, water to drink, my scarves so that I can keep warm and cute.

Yay, you're going home! Enjoy and "safe journey"!
