Home (almost) Sweet Home

You know, I've lived in this town for almost seven years. I can't believe I made it this long! It doesn't seem that long ago when I was lying on the floor, kicking and screaming (literally) because I felt so unwelcome.

So although I'd move tomorrow if Mike said the magic words, there are a few things I've learned to appreciate about this place:

1. Where else can I visit four dollar stores, three chinese restaurants, and every fast food chain within a mile of my house?
2. Where else can I take my kids on a half-mile stroller ride and pass a scrapbook store?
3. Where else does it take four minutes to travel to Wal-Mart during rush hour?
4. Where else does the postal worker, bank employee, gas station attendant, and gift shop owner call me by name?
5. Where else can I wear clothes from 1999 and still look cool?

It's my home.

For now.
