Peace and Quiet

For the first Sunday in a loooooong time, Todd and I did not wake up to the sound pitter patter of little feet. Or, I should say, the BOOM BOOM BOOM of a four year old playing Knights above our head. It was lovely. The entertainment value of our morning has been much lower, though.

If you came to our house, you would think you were in a random neighborhood in the middle of nowhere. We're like 4 exits away from any kind of civilization. Everyone in our immediate vicinity is a nascar fan. The people down the street have a jeep cherokee in their front yard that doesn't have any doors. People let their dogs run free (not us, we have a fence) This is the COUNTRY. However, as we discovered last night, we are a matter of mere minutes from a brand new Kroger.

First of all, you have to understand that new grocery stores make me happy. As previously discussed, I avoid older grocery stores (and any kind of food lion) at all costs. I knew we had all kinds of shopping like 10-15 mintues away (including a panera, target, and moes!) but I thought the nearest Kroger was like 20-25 minutes away. Much to my delight, and thanks to back roads, Todd showed me how close we actually are. Even better, there are "good" beer Krogers and "bad" beer Krogers, and sure enough, this is a good beer Kroger! Microbrew heaven! We picked up a case of Magic Hat Feast of Fools and a Sam Adams Octoberfest last night! (Octoberfest is on special for $12, FYI)

This house just keeps getting better and better.

p.s. AND there's a Five Guys
