back to the big city

On May 28, 2011 we left our favorite town of Sugar City and moved back to our home in the big city. It was a very special time for our family. We came to Sugar City about 3 years ago and it changed who we are for the better.

what we will miss:

*the people

*bike rides (especially for my kids)

*swimming in the canal

*ice skating rinks & snow hills

*watching the elk outside the bedroom window

*the big garden and fruit trees

*roasting marshmallows in the fire pit

*simplicity

*Sugar Food Town

*feelings of safety

*4 mile blocks

*sewing group

*windows open at night & hearing peace (except for the occasional cat or raccoon fight)

*cheese factory smell

*beautiful sunsets

*kind neighbors to plow you out from a snowstorm

*close to family

*yelling at my kids without everyone hearing (or so I thought)

*long walks to the mailbox

*and many, many more things

I think more than anything I learned of the importance of family and the special time you have to spend with those you love is sacred and goes very fast.

I am determined to keep the simplicity of my Sugar City life and will be forever grateful for it!
