Rockin' the Suburbs

We've only been livin' the vida suburbia a short while, but we like it already. Here are just a few reasons why:

- You can take your shopping cart ALL the way out to your car without being accused of stealing it.

- A short trip to Target doesn't require an entire Saturday afternoon.

- The children on their bikes like our dog. They even stop to say hi and pet her (!!) as apposed to hugging the wall as we pass as if she was a grizzly bear and they were wearing tenderloin necklaces.

- The city flower pots do not double as trash cans.

- We can sleep with the windows open and not be woken up by a single ambulance or firetruck all night.

- A passing bus does not rock the house to where we feel like we are in an earthquake.

- After the sun goes down, the crickets come out to sing.

- Relaxing on the front porch with a cup of coffee and the paper on the weekends= priceless.

- We can eat outside and still be at home!

- No one vacuums above our bedroom at midnight

- Our new house is off an alley, but I have yet to see anyone relieve themselves in it.

- So many swing sets; so little time.

- The feel of grass between your toes.

- The sales tax is less than 10.5%.

- At the end of the day, sometimes you just need your mom or dad. I've got that covered.
