Thursday Thirteen - Good things about moving!

Normally, I would complain about moving, but there's lots of good stuff about where we're moving to and who wants to read 13 of my complaints?

  1. The kids will be in a better school district.
  2. The kids can walk to school! Yay! No more dealing with the morning drop off!
  3. The salon I get my hair done at is within walking distance! Sweet! Not only will I sav.e on gas, but I can actually go every four weeks and totally avoid the gray roots!
  4. There must be half a dozen Starbucks within five minutes of the house.  Coffee is awesome.
  5. The gym I go to is so much closer. No more half hour drive to the gym!
  6. There is a park and walking trails right next to the development.
  7. Target is five minutes away!
  8. The new house is 30 minutes closer to where I go riding. I am so excited about this one. I miss riding and with the weather hopefully getting better and summer time coming, I see lots of horse time in my future.  Riding makes me a very happy girl.  It's like a happy pill.
  9. Another biggie, the kids will have separate bedrooms.  I hope that having their own space will generate some peace and quiet.
  10. The tv that's in their room now will be in the living room. No more bedtime tv battles!
  11. The new house is closer to my school too!
  12. Panda Express right up the street. Yummy Orange Chicken! Oh I could walk there and burn off the calories! Hey, it sounds good. Don't burst my bubble.
  13. The last good thing and probably the best, we're moving to a better neighborhood. Hopefully no more vehicle break ins.

It sounds like this is definitely a move in the right direction! It makes all the hassles of packing and moving worth it! Enjoy your new home!

a smaller triangle of school-work-home-shopping is great. can you walk to the gym from your new place?

Pearl, I think it might be a little too far to walk to the gym. Plus it's down a busy street.
