This is actually a funny photo. I usually just post silly or cute ones of Lexi. Her hair is finally long enough to get messy when she takes a wild nap. That is what I call a true milestone to celebrate.
As everyone knows, IT IS FRIDAY! Although we will be packing, moving and cleaning at a frantic pace this weekend (once again I have procrastinated), I feel the joy of Friday today. I have been thinking about the positive and negative aspects of this move. Overall, I love that we will be making a change because that sparks my interest. It will also be nice to become more familiar with a different area of Miami. Ok, so I would rather move away from Miami, but I am stuck here for a while so I might as well talk myself into being thrilled about moving to the beach.
Here are the things I am looking forward to:
- Living in an area that is pedestrian friendly
- Being close to parks, the beach, shops, and cafes
- Very short commute for Steve
- Driving across the MacArthur Causeway everyday (one of the best views in Miami)
- Having no yard work
- Being completely debt free
- Being able to hoard lots of money for future dreams
Things I am not looking forward to:
- Hurricane evacuations - I can no longer wish for small hurricanes to give me a day off of work because it will mean we have to find a place to stay
- Parallel Parking on the street instead of the garage at our house, especially when it is rainy
- Giving up large capacity washer and dryer for small ones
- Memorial Day weekend and the Rap Fest/Urban Beach Party
- Being out of range of my favorite radio station from the Keys
In general, I choose to believe that life on SOBE will be livelier, that I'll see my husband more (because it will not take him FOREVER to get home), and that Lexi will like being outside more. I also might actually get to meet Amy since she lives south of 5th too. Then again, I never ever ever ever run into anyone.
