Things I'll Miss About B-Town

These are in no particular order.

All the restaurants!

The Imax. Gotta love those seats AND being able to eat a sub or a pizza or ice cream while watching the movie.

Seeing Yakov at K-Mart.

Seeing a random Osmond shopping at Walgreens.

Seeing Jim Bakker's wife at the dentist (that just happened today).

I'll miss my dentist. This is very true. For those of you who don't know, I enjoy going to the dentist. Not quite to the extent that Bill Murray liked going to the dentist in "Little Shop of Horrors," but I like having healthy teeth and gums. My children also don't mind going to the dentist. So, Dr. Q, I will miss you and all the work you do for me. You should have quite the nice family vacation this year, thanks to me.

I'll miss working for the school. While the work is stressful and sometimes emotionally taxing, summers off made it ALL worth it. I hope to get a job at JC-ville's school district.

Godfather's Pizza. Okay, so it's not in B-town, but it's within driving distance.

Living close to family.

All the friends I made here.

The friends my children have made.

My neighbors. Really, they're worth buying my house, just to have them next door.

My church family. When I say family, I mean that. I've been in churches since I was 7 years old. I've never seen a church pull together like this one does. I've never seen a church with the bold outreach this one has. And I've never seen a church go through so much adversity, eyes focused on the Lord, and make it through like this one has.

Playing piano at church. There was a time I would have laughed if someone told me I'd miss driving the piano on Sunday mornings. Perhaps I'll play piano at my next church, if I'm needed. Perhaps God has other things lined up for me. I guess we'll see.

Traffic. I know, crazy, right? If you live here long enough, you become so accustomed to it that it's startling when it's not around.

Silver Dollar City

Dixie Stampede

Maggie Moos

Andy's Frozen Custard. Okay so there's one at The Lake, but that's different than having it less than 10 minutes away.

The trails near the dam. I go there for solace.

My buddy, Kim, and the excellent job she does on my nails. Perhaps I can get her to meet me half-way every three weeks or so.

My hair stylist.

The shopping, even though I'm not big on shopping. It's just nice to know it's there.

The scenery.

Elvis impersonators shopping at the grocery store.

Well, that's all I can think of for now. One of these days, I'll blog about things I'm looking forward to in JC-ville.
