Life in the Sub

Moving from the country to a subdivision was a hard decision for Cory and I to make.  We are country folk - we really love the country but ultimately the decision was made when we found a house we loved in the school district we wanted to be in.  So now, we live in a subdivision.  Surprisingly enough, things don't seem that weird.  I really don't see our neighbors very often - they haven't even come over to say hello.  From watching many episodes of Desperate Housewives I expected someone to bring me muffins in a cute little basket to introduce themselves to me.  Oh well, they probably are nervous around the young couple who are expecting a baby with two dogs that constantly get screamed at.

A few changes since moving to the sub:

No more walking outside with just a t-shirt on.  Totally against the rules in the city.

Cory wanted to go to the backyard and burn cardboard boxes the other night - I'm not sure if that is legal.  I still need to call about that.

Taking out the trash - all of our trash is supposed to fit into one can that is picked up on Thursday mornings.  It's almost impossible for us to get everything to fit into that one can.  Apparently we throw a lot of stuff away.  I'm use to throwing stuff out in the burn pile and Cory burning it whenever it was full.  We now have a garbage man.

People walk by.  Banjo hates all of those people.  Hank can't see out the windows or door because he is too short but he quickly chimes in when Banjo begins his fit.  We have a lot of walkers, runners, and bicycles that ride by our house - it kind of creeps me out too.  If someone was walking in front of my house before I was locking the door and peeping out the window to be sure they weren't going to stop.  Now it happens all the time!  Hellooooo neighbor.  BEWARE OF DOG.

Sirens.  Who would have thought that would be a change but it is.  We have a fire station down the road and hear sirens often.  If I heard a siren go by my house I would go follow them to see what was going on!  It had to be someone I knew that was in trouble!


Overall, we love living in Jonesboro.  We are so happy with our decision to move.  Yes, we miss living in the country but being so close to work, the grocery store, and town itself has been wonderful!   Especially with how many trips we have made to Lowes and Home Depot lately! 

Hopefully the neighbors will bring me muffins soon.

Living the city life folks.  Life in the Sub.
