Saint Cloud, Here We Come !!!

This weekend we will be moving into our new condo in St.Cloud.

Pros:

Our condo is bigger and brand new with all brand new appliances.
Our new condo has carpeted stairs allowing Jack to practice climbing.
We will be within 5 minutes of our, non-existent as of yet, new business.
We will be within 5 minutes of the Florida Turnpike for heading north/south to escape
We are within 30 minutes of the East Coast beaches.
There is a lakefront area in St.Cloud with an actual beach and water playground.
We will have that small town feel.
We will be much closer to our babysitters...my mother, father, and Angie.
We will be out of the Downtown Orlando traffic.
Jack doesn't need to where pants, shirts, socks or shoes...just a diaper is necessary in St.Cloud.
The mayor is a newly elected Democrat and mental health counselor...like us.
It's not in Texas.

Cons:

Orlando lacks culture but St. Cloud has never heard of it.
We will have that small town feel.
There are no museums that don't showcase Crackers (cowboys with whips...big in the area in the 1800's.
This is one of the main rodeo towns in the country...they actually have a day off of school called Rodeo Day.
There isn't a mall to walk Jack in.
There is only one movie theatre, showing one movie.

Overall, I'm excited about the move. Although I've always preferred the big city to the country. I love to visit the country though. I guess I'll just think of this as an extended visit.

Pro:

Con:
No more Peanut Butter

Why is there no Peanut Butter in St. Cloud?

Also, who voted to give Jack a puppy? That's a horrible idea

Instead of a puppy for Jack's "B" day, maybe it should be a pony.

Not peanut butter as in FOOD. Peanut Butter as in the nickname we gave to our neighbor. See Keith's blog about the people of Lake Crest for more info.

And you two better stop your silliness. Jack will not be getting either a puppy OR a pony.

Rants, drivel and a few interesting tidbits
