Last night, I came to the incredible realization that I actually love and appreciate our life in the burbs.
We've been living down here for over 4 years now and Derek and I sometimes talk about how we miss San Francisco.
However, as I was getting dinner started in the kitchen last night, I could see and hear Oliver happily riding his tricycle and Miles playing hockey with our sweet next door neighbor, William (of course Derek was outside with them). Then our sweet neighbor, Terry (William's mom), got home and we chatted with her. Their entire family is sweet as pie - everything you could want in a next door neighbors.
There was something just very peaceful about watching the boys play while chatting with Terry... and it dawned on me how good we have it down here in the 'burbs.
It's exactly the childhood that I had and want my kids to have... playing outside with neighborhood friends.
It feels peaceful, easy, and right for our family. :)
And, heck... we can move back to SF when the boys go to college and we actually have time to eat out. :) HA.
