tn vs fl

just got in last night from our trip back to memphis. it was so good to see family and friends but i have to say every time we go back to visit i miss our home in florida more and more. i would love to have regular date nights and be able to have lunch with all of my friends whenever or even go to lunch with my mom on a weekly basis but there is something to living on your own when you are married and have kids. 

you can't rely on everyone to help you out for everything- you have to do so much more on your own. which if you know me- i hate doing any thing by myself. we enjoy our schedule each day and activities planned with other mom's now. i love being at home with my daughter each day even though she knows all of my tricks and i think she is getting a little bored with me. not to mention- there are a ton of things to do here with a toddler that just are not in memphis. i feel so bad for my girlfriends back home that all they get excited about is going to a small water park and playground 4 times a week. they sound so bored and are literally at home almost every day with their tots. kill me now. there is no way i could do that. 

so, as much as i miss my family  and friends there really is a special something something about living far away. i still thank God for unlimited long distance, skype and parents that love to drive 14 hours to come visit every 3 months or so. well, we are off to the beach......
