I've only been home probably for a total of eight days this summer, but when I've returned home every time, they are the one thing that makes me feel at home more than anything else. First to my couch, which is saying a lot.
A few things that have made me appreciate them in the past week:
1. Their food. The first day I came home, I was welcomed to eggplant parmesan and peach ice cream. My dad even made an apple tart for dessert that night. Plus, we have a surplus of tomatoes and eggplants and peaches, which will soon not be a surplus :)
2. They are so cute. They told me all about their trip to San Francisco they recently took. They're like little kids again... they visited wineries, took bikes across the Golden Gate Bridge, went to Chinatown and made their own fortunes inside of fortune cookies, visited chocolate shops, went whale watching... they are so adventurous and precious.
3. We're the best movie-watching, couch-dwelling team ever.
4. My mom and I were driving home from Mississippi yesterday, and for three hours we had girl talk and ate trail mix.
5. I can say... anything in front of them and they understand me.
6. I wish I could quote some of the things my dad has been saying this past week. He doesn't realize it, but he's quite the character when it comes to talking about France and wine and food. We've discussed wine epiphanies, the best Kir Royales, parchment paper, French (of course), and duck eggs in pastries. I. Love. Him.
7. I think my dad and I might have exchanged a total of 12 cannibal-themed jokes back-to-back in passing one time in the living room.
8. They never pry, never nag, they just let me live my life. And they love love love it when I share it with them.
9. Basically, I have two bffs at home.
