Now speaking of that door, yesterday I was on my way out to walk the dog and found a homeless man asleep on my front porch!! I asked him to move along and his response was, "but it's raining." WHAT?! I was less than cordial when telling him his options. I did use my teacher voice! Needless to say he left. But now I'm wondering about this city living. The kids need a backyard. I need a garage and a basement playroom. Can you be "urban people" and live in the suburbs? We are about to find out. We have now begun our home search outside of the city! I have split feelings about it all. I'll keep you updated.

Urban dewlling
I love living in the city!!! I love the crowds and the hustle and bustle. I love the energy and the excitement. My children have grown up (so far) learning how to navigate a city. Brenden can read a train schedule and tell you what trains to take to get to several places around the city. There is always "something" to do. We only have to drive once a week. I love the fact that anything we want is just outside our front door.

It's a love/hate relationship! After two+ years, I still long for my city, while simultaneously loving my suburban life:) In the words of my mother- "no choice gives you everything". I hated hearing that growing up, but am pretty certain she's dead on.
Your mother is a smart woman! I am going to try to make the most of it and know that it is the best choice for my family.
You make it into the city often and so, now will we...
