something old: something new (day 2)

old: i will miss how beautiful virginia is! (i promise these all won't be so shallow, but the more shallow i stay, the less crying :)  VA is REALLY beautiful. the weather is VERY mild compared to KS and MS.  you get all four seasons here! there are mountains, rolling hills, open fields, forests and of course the beach.  VA has a lot to offer.

new: today i have to go to walmart. walmart, as you know, is 30 minutes away. the prices at walmart can not be beat. i can not shop local without spending AT LEAST 45-50% more.  that's why i make the effort every week to go to walmart. it's about a four hour ordeal.  i don't like to do it in the evening b/c then the store is a mad-house. i like to go at about 9:30 when it's quiet and fully stocked. BUT it takes away one full morning a week. as we speak they are putting the finishing touches on a walmart about and eighth of a mile away from our house here in KG. it will open 4 weeks after we move. :( BUT, BUT, BUT... want to guess how close walmart (panera and quick trip) are from our new house? about 1/2 a mile. really, i smile VERY big when i think how much free time i will have every week. i could even grocery shop by MYSELF and only be gone for 45 minutes. i could grocery shop at 1030pm or 6am.. it doesn't matter! i am very excited about this :)!!
