HOME- 844 days away from USA; 848 Nebraska

So if you are not on facebook or the rest of the world. I'm HOME!  Now as of today 2 weeks. After a change of heart, things not working out in the coming up cities I deiced to use some miles and come home. So after 844 some days I finally was home or at least in American.
I had the flight to Chiacgo, where I then found my way to the Hoilday Inn. Which I found yep, want every American would do find Peanut Better M &M and Reeese. YUMMM. Then for someone who just lived where you walk, I went to Target which was close by with a 10 min walk to it, I found yep America.
Not only got some wonderful Dr. Pepper, salsa and chips to watch the Husker game along with popcorn. To bad the jet lag got me, I fell asleep with the remote in one hand and the game on TV. But then woke up at 3am, 4am, and finally at 5am I gave up and headed to the airport.

Nebraska
848 days
After getting on the plane with 7 other souls, I got home home. After a great meal at a breakfast place in Omaha. Wheatfields. After some wonderful french toast and free water with lemon i was ready to go back to target and real do more ten the food area. Next we walked around the outdoor mall and then head home. I got home and was sick and soo out of it.

After surprising my Grandpa and Grandma the next day and see some friends. I have saw most of my Nebraska friends now. As I'm writing this I'm watching the Huskers in the Big 12 Championship game, which as of now its tied.

Some things I forgot about. I'm still working on the whole being home. Its not hard but hard to come home. Not much has changed here so in a way its been nice to get over jet lag, and just go back to high school mood after college mood.

Things I love:
  1. Free water. Its amazing. Not only is the water tap and sooo good. Ice and Lemon. AHH
  2. Free refills. The one bad thing over the water is little pop and no extra here its almost too much.
  3. Football on TV. After trying to watch it  on internet and over the radio so much better on TV and not in the middle of the night
  4. Family and Friends...of course
  5. driving. After a couple days not doing it. It came right back. well maybe not the parking....but we will work on that
  6. Swimming. I miss it so much. Water Water Water
  7. Target. No need for comment
  8. online shopping. so nice to do more then just look
  9. food. food. yumm how i missed you tacos, beef, fish, cookies, and double stuff oreos
  10. Cell phone. not really the plans or price but so nice to pick up a phone and call people or text them in the same time zone and no bad skype connetion.
Things I don't like
  1. All the bags...people its call totes, bags you re use. I went to target and almost stopped them so I didn't have to pay for them all but then I remembered they where free.
  2. train. I know and I have not drove that much but gas money not looking forward to that again.
  3. Answering the "now what question"....i just got done with Bulgaria give me one minute to eat this taco please or at least drink some water that is not out of a bottle or full of gas...
  4. jet lag. now I'm over it but first week at 4am it was not nice
  5. commercials. not going to lie love my downloaded tv shows so much faster 
Highlighs so far:

Thanksgiving with family
Husker game time
going to the local bar and drinking with friends
calling and texting people
making an apple pie in the right pan
making lefsa with grandma and old ladies
TV in English and well Everyone I can understand
