Yes Lindsay, it was great growing up in a small town. And you really appreciate it after living in larger cities. I would leave the house in the morning and return in the evening. My folks didn't know where I was or what I was doing - and I was completely safe. It's just not that way anymore!

Exactly! I've been trying to convince Scott we should move to a small town when we have kids :) Houses are cheaper, taxes are cheaper, sports and activities are cheaper, and the safety factor is there!

My problem is that my job wasn't in my small town. I am comfortable in the city now, but if I had a choice, I'd definitely raise my children in a smaller town atmosphere.

We have that problem too, but after a few years with Scott's new job, he has the option to work from home and he could live ANYWHERE at that point :) We'll see how things go! I just prefer a simple life to the hustle and bustle of the city! But Scott's always been a city boy :rolleyes:

That's why Jessie and Steve moved up here. They lived in Staten Island, and wanted to raise their children with small town values.

It has worked out so well for everyone, except Steve, who cannot find work.
As for me, I am like a pea in a pod living in a small town.
