2 Peas Challenge

Challenge:
Yesterday, the topic was childhood homes. Today.. .it's different.
Let's talk about the place you live in, right now, tonite, this moment. What do you love about it? What do you hate about it? Blog about the roof over your head, right now.

Well, the home I live in right now, IS my childhood home. I have lived here since I was 3, and only lived away for a few years. But, I came back. I love that my house is "my house", but in the coming months, with the wedding approaching, D and I will be buying a house. So, I will move. Other than my family living here too, there is not that much that I love about it here. My grandparents used to live upstairs, and when we moved in, my parents had a door made inside that let us (my sister and I) be able to run upstairs to see them. We never had to go outside, and then back in. I would always "know" if my grandmother or grandfather were coming downstairs for a visit. I miss them...I wish I could run up those stairs one more time to see them. It's one of my fondest memories....and I'll never forget.

What I hate about it here.....It's gotten very crowded over the years, and sometimes, I can't even park in my own driveway. :( I never really felt like it was a neighborhood. Not like a neighborhood I could imagine. I sometimes feel trapped, as there is not much to do by me, but 30 minutes in each direction, and you can find something. But as much as I dislike it here, truly, there is no place like home......

Have a great day.....
