Jenna
does NOT deal with change well. She is
horrible at it. Horrible. I don’t even remember what it was she was
complaining about last night. I told her
that whatever we do, wherever we live, no matter what, there are going to be
some things that we like about our current situation and some things that we
don’t.
I
told her to write a list of pros and cons with living in West Valley and with
living in Myrtle Creek. I didn’t suggest
for her to include Kearns – after all she was only five when we had moved.
There was probably more drama about that move than there was with this last
one.
After
reviewing her lists, I decided to make some lists of my own. Thus for this post, I have decided to share
each list that was created (or started at least)
