Suburbanites

Two more weeks until we are officially Suburbanites. I am counting down the days from our crowded Manhattan apartment. This weekend we had the new carpet installed in the house so now we just need to paint Alyson's room and we will be all set to move in. We settled on a pale green for her new digs. Here's my top ten list of things I am most looking forward to about moving to our new home.

10. Having a deck with a porch swing to relax on
9. Having more than one bathroom
8. Having a car accessible at any given moment
7. SPACE, SPACE and more SPACE
6. Putting all my shoes in my very own walk-in closet rather than a box under my bed
5. Greenery. Trees, grass, weeds - all that good stuff - bring it on!
4. A dishwasher
3. Laundry!!
2. A room for Alyson

... and the top thing I am looking most forward to about moving to the suburbs is...


.... a drawer for silverware in my kitchen and oh pot holders and pens and scissors and all that good stuff! Yes, our current apartment does not have any drawers so we have to store our silverware in a cabinet. As you can tell its a pet peeve of mine,
