Nice pics throughout! You can definitely see the family resemblance between you and your sister. You have beautiful curls and I'd love it if my hair would do anything rather than lay in stick straight thin lanks. I like to visit the city but I love living in the country better. I grew up closer to the city and it was good then but now I would never want to live there again. I've grown to appreciate the space between houses and the quiet. But I do like to visit - I just hate driving into it. ;) Glad you had a wonderful busy fun weekend. Great post! Oooo - gorgeous baby! Nice pics throughout!

I travel every day to the big city - TO and I hate it there. I'm so glad to come home every night and have some breathing space between me and the next guy.

(I'm being quite serious. That first one where you explained settings like Portrait SAVED ME). And...I didn't know you were a former big girl. Me, too! I have also decided not to waste the time walking 18 hours a day and hauling a 50 lb suitcase all the freak over Great Britain and keep working at losing the muscle tone of headcheese that is my current state!

I'm sorry about the torrential downpour - that was my fault, because I wore a skirt on Friday. It caused the rain. It won't happen again. Traffic does suck, but since I bus everywhere, I LOVE living in Vancouver. City all the way!! So much for my small-town roots. Glad you got to visit our wonderful IKEA!!

I'm an Island girl now so I'd guess I'd say my preference is most certainly small town. (Or wait, does Victoria count as "in between"?) :D The traffic is the main reason I don’t live on the mainland any more.

My sister is named Anna Grace too!! Having just moved from the big city of Calgary to small town Salmon Arm...I would say that I do miss the energy and action, all the new and changing things there, but when it comes to raising a family...small towns rock. If I had no kids I'd probably have stayed in the city, but where we're at now in our stage of life, this is best for sure. It's so nice to take 5 min. to get downtown!! Congrats on your new niece!!

But I went to College in a small town three hours south of DFW. I love the heart of small towns. The hole in the wall places, the personality, the way time does slow down, the NOT HAVING TO COMMUTE. And I think in a perfect world I would work from home in a small town, close enough to a big city (1-2 hours) and make enough money to travel to big cities multiple times a year. I'm idealistic, or, as my husband puts it, out of touch with the realities of our bank account. Also, the small town I'd like to live in? STARS HOLLOW (fictional home of Lorelei and Rory Gilmore).

My word! I also like the picture of the city night life. Pretty. You're really using those manual settings. You're going to surpass us all if you're not careful. :) I've been missing you. AND I'm definitelt a small town girl as long as there's a decent big city within an hours driving distance. SLand is PERFECT! What a GORGEOUS baby!!! My word!
