2. writing. both the academic kind and the keep you sane kind.

3. not being sick.

4. cooking dinner in a one room one stovetop apartment.

5. walking.

Our favorite book right now is I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean too! Ali loves to read it over and over again, because now she has memorized it lol... We hit another schools bookfair and they had buy 1 get 1 free on all their books. I felt a little bit guilty not buying from our school bookfair, but our school was not having that sale. I spent $35 and got a ton of books :)

I look forward to reading your posts from your trip! Have fun making memories...
