Pros and Cons to living where we are.

***This is just my opinion. Other people in my family may state otherwise.***



Pros:

• I can walk to school! :)
• Similar to the above, but it's a 2-4 (depending on the traffic lights) minute drive to church. 
• There is a really nice soccer field near by which the boys have been making good use of.
• Closer to my boyfriend. :)
• Our neighbourhood is larger than before which means more routes for walks. 
• No more catching the school bus at 7 and getting home at 5. For elementary students and everyone else that was a little bit crazy.

Cons: 

• The water tastes different. Not as bad as camping water, but it has a mineral/metallic taste to it which I really find hard to swallow. 
• We have to sort our recycling and cannot recycle plastic bags (?). 
• No door-to-door mail service. 
• We're attending a different church. 
• Police station, fire hall, and hospital are all very close by... On clear nights their sirens are very loud.
• West is best (grade 11 social studies).
• Further away from some family, yet closer to others, so this could technically be a pro as well.
