Reasons why I can't wait to move back to NY

1. More job options. Yes, despite the condition of our economy, it is NOT as bad as working here. I promise.
2. Target
3. My son will know his grandparents
4. I will have friends and family, NON-Army, only 3 hours away instead of an ocean. Of course I've met some fabulous army friends but they are few and far between, you know who you are, and you know it's refreshing to hang with someone who's not a cray army wife. :p I don't care if they "understand" or not. I don't need you to understand, just to listen from time to time, and not be nutty.
5. Bruegger's
6. Signs everywhere are in english.
7. Grocery store options
8. lots of radio and TV options besides AFN
9. Giants, Mets and Syracuse games will be on actual time, instead of 3 a.m. and my hubby can enjoy them and still take his turn waking up with the little man.
