Big city life

So as I was reading everybody’s blogs I decided that I should try it out, so here I am not even knowing what to write about…just so everyone knows, I am not a writer, I hated writing any sort of paper in school, and when I did it was always returned to me covered in red ink saying I didn’t put a comma in the right spot or whatever…so…nobody laugh at all the errors I am about to make. :)

When I was a teenager growing up in Idaho, I always said “When I graduate and move out of my parents house, I am moving to a big city where there is lots of things to do and stay out all night long and have fun with my friends…” well when I graduated I moved out and ended up in Rexburg, Idaho, :) not really my plan, but I did have a lot fun and met my hubby there, so it was great. I soon got my wish and moved with my hubby to Portland, a big city with lots of good shopping (with no sales tax) and loved it.

Almost 5 years has gone by and we have lived in many big cities, right now we are in Indianapolis, and I am really missing Rexburg, I miss the safe feeling about it, knowing that I can leave my doors and windows open and I won’t be bothered or spied on. I’m not saying we live in a really scary part of town, it’s actually really nice, but we got a note by our mailbox saying that an unknown male was seen looking in people’s windows and standing on their patio’s, I kinda freaked out cause I am on the first floor with a patio…and then a few days ago someone’s apartment got broken into, I now keep my doors locked at all times. Then last night Vince calls me about a murder in the area that he’s in, he was only 2 blocks away, I watched the news to find out a little more and also heard that a body was found inside a car that was parked in the neighborhood……I’m not a big fan of living the big city life anymore!!
