Living it up in Ontario

We moved to Ontario this past Monday. So far so good. A few bumps and things to get used to but nothing I can't live with for a short period of time.

Water pressure, check!

Lovely heated swimming pools and jacuzzi, check.

2 very nice parks within walking distance, check.

Close to shopping, check. Ontario Mills is very nice but seriously lacking a children's play area.

Close to Johnny's work, check. We figure we are saving at least $15 a day just in gas by living here.

Nice neighbors, check. She not only jumped my car for me Tuesday morning but made sure to warn me to never let my kids outside alone during the day and never at night. Like I would? (I actually checked the registered sex offender listing and there are zero in this zip code, but 68 in my parent's zip code. Who would have thought?)

Easy freeway access, check. If you want to jump over the wall I mean. We can see the cars entering and exiting the I10 from our front door. Was that a car backfiring or gun shots we heard last night? Not quite sure.

Fire stations close by, check. Right next to the freeway access. Again, you can see it form the front door...and hear it during the night!

Landlady who won't let us hang pool towels outside, check. We hang them off the top bunk bed over Wesley's crib.

Hold on a second here, this just sounds crazy! Who lives like this? Oh yeah, we do. (Please excuse the freak out moment, it has now passed)

You are a good sport Melody. I admire you and Johnny for the sacrifices you are making, only 3 more years right? And then you are free to settle down where you want and life is good. Or so the theory goes. :) Hang in there.
