Leaving it behind

Sometimes I catch myself thinking of all the things I'm going to miss about where we live.  The list is as follows:

• Close to pretty much everything (the mall, Taco Bell, Target, the path in the river, etc.)
• The huge mirror in the bathroom that doubles as 3 medicine cabinets.
• Cleaning doesn't take very long.
• Carlos aka Zoey's favorite person besides Sam.  It's true, she loves Carlos more than she loves me.

And that's about it.

More often than sometimes, I catch myself thinking of all the things I won't miss about where we live:

• Laundry closet (it will be nice to have a whole room just for laundry)
• Close to a road, which equals people who are competing for loudest car or motorcycle in AZ driving by at all hours.
• Dog poo.  Everywhere.  Sometimes Zoey tries to eat it because she is yucky.
• Garbage.  Everywhere.  Sometimes Zoey tries to eat it because she is yucky.
• The pool that is usually murky and closed.
• Walking by sunbathers at the murky pool.  Awkward.
• Not being able to ride my bike as often as I would like.
• Every single person I walk by wanting to play with Zoey when it is obviously time for going potty, and not playing.  They just don't seem to understand.
• Humongous roaches that come with the humidity after a rain.  One got inside somehow and was crawling around the ceiling in our room like it owned the place about a week ago.  I feared for my life.
• Having to take the pup all the way to the grass to go potty.  I can't wait for a doggy door - it's at the top of our list of things to buy for the new house (equally ranked with a fridge, oven, washing machine and dryer).
• Zero space for anything.
• About 3 feet of counter space in the kitchen.  Not even an exaggeration.
• Living on top of another person's home.
• White walls everywhere. So boring.
• Vertical blinds.
• Only having one window and the sliding glass door to the balcony to let sunlight in.
• The fact that the only way to the only bathroom is through our room.  Not visitor friendly.
• Assigned parking.
• Limited parking if husband is in the assigned space.
• Tiny parking spaces.  The passenger side of my little car has some scratches from living here that I am not happy about at all.
• Sharing a wall with neighbors.

I guess you could say I'm excited to move.
