It looks like your "pro" list isn't as long as the "cons"! So there ya go! :) Some of the things you like about Arizona you can find somewhere else probably. I'm sure it will be hard to leave, though. You can do it! :)
Oh believe me, I am ready to go! I just thought I should put in a few good things that I would miss, so I didn't seem...I don't know what the word is :D
So, missy! When are you guys coming back here? And where are you going to be living? It definitely sounds like you're ready to come back up here.
Jen, we are moving back the week before Christmas...aka my birthday, lol. For now we will be living with my parents in Othello, and yes, I am ready. This is a dream come true! :D
I didn't know you were leaving! Where are you going? Back home?
