We've just started our third month back in the US. As opposed to July, which opened up for us in Pennsylvania while staying with my parents and an August spent with Amy's parents, the month of September finds us in our very own place.
In the suburbs.
I grew up in the suburbs and thought it was all fine and dandy, but I'd rather be out in the country. Somewhere quiet with lots of hiking, climbing and mountain biking.
Until I came to reality. You can't get pizza delivered to you if you live out in the country.
So I'm living in the suburbs and appreciating every bit of it, . We've got our fenced in yard, the park up the road, and go for walks around the neighborhood every day. The grocery stores and restaurants aren't far and neither are the baseball diamonds where Norah and I split an ice cream sandwich while watching an exciting game of t-ball.
While I have to admit I feel a certain bit of jealousy when I see planes high overhead, wondering where all those people are off to, I think I can live like this for a while.
