1. My family.
Because, well, they're family. 
2. My best friend and her family.
They crack me up, laugh at my funny jokes, call me out on the lame ones, and give the best hugs. 
3. Bible quizzing.
The big national meet was last week, and I was able to go and quizmaster (as well as quic quiz, which was a blast even if I didn't know the material :)). While I was able to go to some of the monthly quizzes last school year, nationals reminded me of just how much I miss being an active, regular part of it.
Plus, Bible quizzers (both current and graduated) are a pretty cool bunch, and I love hanging out with them. 
4. A queen-sized bed.
I'm tallish, and I like to spread out. A twin-sized one just doesn't cut it for long periods of time.
5. A kitchen.
I know, I know. But I actually like kitchens. I like trying out new recipes, tasting the fruit of my labors, and straightening the cereal boxes and chip bags. 
6. Quietness.
I love my roommate. She is one of my best friends, and she is enough like me that we can sit in quiet and it isn't awkward or anything. But I also live in a dorm at college. As great as it is, it is seldom quiet. I like the quiet to recharge, talk to God, and focus my attention to wherever it needs to be.
7. Free time.
I'm working full-time this summer, but I am still shocked at how much free time I have. Yesterday, I not only worked, but I went for a run, picked berries, made a great supper, and watched a movie.
I could post more (not constantly being in the city, being able to see the sunrise and not just the sunset, having the closet space for all of my heavy sweaters, etc). But I don't want this to get depressing. College is good. It challenges me in so many ways. It's teaching me more and more self-discipline. It's forcing me to grow.
Bur I also love home. So this is more of an appreciation list than anything else.
