Here, There and Everywhere

I've been feeling a little nostalgic lately and thought I'd make some lists:

Things I miss about Sacramento:
-The people. Such good people. I miss our friends and neighbors. Some have moved away to other places, too--of course they are included in this. We love all of you!
-The paths that we could run/walk on. The river. Such a beautiful place to run and I never had to worry about streets or cars.
-The quiet. We live on a pretty busy street now so there is noise. I love where we are but I just miss the quiet sometimes.
-The kids have talked about how they miss our climbing tree. I miss it, too.
-WinCo. How do I love thee, WinCo? Let me count the ways... Boxes of Smart Start for $2.60, cheese for less than $3/lb, cheap bulk bin items, I could go on and on but I'll spare you that. I just get depressed grocery shopping here sometimes. Luckily, the produce is super cheap here. That has been nice.

Things I love about here:
-The weather. It really is nice.
-The people. We love our new ward (church congregation) and have met many nice neighbors who we're hoping to get to know even better.
-The schools. I really like Elizabeth's school and Natalie's preschool. They are great.
-Our backyard. It is wonderful. We love the fruit trees! They are starting to get ripe and we can't wait for more oranges/lemons/tangerines. Plus we just planted some vegetable seedlings in the garden space. We're hoping they actually live. We don't know anything about fall/winter gardening here. Who am I kidding--we don't really know anything about gardening in general.
-The good, cheap produce (see above)
-Everything is close. I can get to any store I'd want to go to in less than like 20 minutes and most are less than 10 minutes.
-Streets lined with yellow ginko trees. I thought it was so beautiful that I took a picture while driving. This doesn't even do it justice:
