Love grows best in little houses...

We are moving away from our little Wymount home this spring. I have to admit that I am not thrilled about this. Dont get me wrong, I dream about the days when we have a dishwasher, a bathroom that two people can stand in at the same time, and a washer and dryer of our own, but at the same time I dont want to leave. We will be graduating and moving on from our lives as poor college students, and while the prospect of a salaried job, with health benefits, and more money than we make in 2 years now, sounds tempting I am still hesitant to leave. I know this sounds ridiculous but what will we do when we leave? Where will we live (Dallas is a big place), where will we go to the grocery store, is there a costco around, and who will be our friends? I think right now we are spoiled, we live in our little Wymount bubble close to everything, including Brian's family but what will we do when we leave? And even more than that, what will we do on the weekends if the Fords dont join us in the Lonestar state? yeah things to think about. On a slightly related note where should I live next fall, I am taking suggestions. 
and on a totally unrelated note have you seen the Cricut? I know one of your has since that is where I saw it, but the actual machine is even more amazing than the infomercial we saw (Jared). You need to see it.

About Dallas - Don't live in Mesquite. That's where I lived for a summer and its kind of like the ghetto and my car got broken into twice. I know the rest of the suburbs are much better and safer. One of my good girlfriends from college lives in Plano and LOVES it! I rememebr there being multiple Costcos and lots of grocery stores. You will be fine!! But the biggest suggestion I have is to get a good map (the detailed book ones) because roads there are based on no numbers what so ever. My first month there, I had to reply on my map to get me anywhere. But the people are very nice, so you know you can always ask for directions. One last thing - always have extra change in your car in case you run into a tole paid freeway (there are quite a few in North Dallas). What a fun adventure!!
