Pros and Cons of Being Home from a Mission

So now has officially been two weeks since I returned from the best mission in the world... The Colorado Colorado Springs mission.  It has definitely been an adjustment but I realize that life is meant to be full of changes so this is just one of them.  But I have had a lot of time to reflect on the things that are different than I expected so I thought I would share a few of the pros and cons of being home.

Pro:  No mileage limitations!!! or area boundaries (no stress about accidentally leaving the mission)
Con: I have to budget for gas money when my income is currently $0.

Pro:  Midnight (or anytime) chocolate runs can be made on a whim.
Con:  The ability to resist temptation is severely reduced because there is no rules prohibiting it.

Pro:  Sunday naps are back on the activity list.
Con:  Long naps make you feel unproductive and blah.

Pro:  I can go somewhere by myself even if it's late.
Con:  I don't have a nice car that defrosts well... and giant ice chunks have frozen to my windshield because I haven't driven in three days.

Pro:  I have my own cell phone and don't have to share with anyone.
Con: No one has my new number so my phone is usually silent.

Pro:  I can carry whatever kind of bag I want.
Con:  If I tried to carry around my mission backpack with everything in it, I would get weird looks and everything doesn't fit in my purse.

So that is just a few of the things that I have observed since being home.  It truly was the best 18 months of my life but we have 18 more to see if I can make it just as good or better.
