Sunday Drive

This morning, the B-rad and i went out for breakfast to celebrate the end of our diet, and while the food looked delicious, it seemed that it wasn't as delicious as i remembered it. The hashbrowns seemed to have a funny taste - of course, that didn't stop me from finishing them. lol.

on our way home, B-rad and i decided to take a detour and drove around the new developments in our area. It's amazing how fast this community sprung up. Almost over night. We've lived here in almost-but-not-quite-yet a year and the growth is really astounding. So as we drove around, we found a country road - as the new area is right on the edge of the city, and we decided to see where it took us. On our journey we saw an old couch abandoned in a ditch, we found an off leash dog park, car parts, and old sink, and many many lagoons left over from the spring/summer flooding.

It was a fun ride, driving around in the fields talking. It was nice. Quality time that we had been missing in the last few weeks of crazy. We dreamed together of someday building a house on a small acreage outside the city where our future children could burn around on thier bikes, and where B-rad could build an honest to goodness sound recording studio. It's the dream. One of them, anyway.

We've lived in this neighbourhood for almost a year, and we had no idea where we were living. It was nice to get out there and see what else is close by. The new development is snazzy, with a new ball diamond and soccer pitch. Bike and walking trails. It should be exicting in the next couple of years. It's nice to see the westside fancying up a bit - kind of leaving the idea of the west side ghetto behind. Now, we just need to get some nice restaurants and pubs over here and we'll be all set.
