Between the sun and New York City

Here I sit, at JFK, waiting for our flight home. (Wouldn't it be great if they actually dropped us off at home? Ridiculous thought, I know.) As we flew in to the city I was again amazed at the huge population here, which in turn made me grateful for the town we live in. Obviously Manteca is far from perfect, but it's also far from NYC! I am grateful that for the most part we have lived in small cities/towns. It's so nice to know where everything is and not take too long to get to our destinations. Even in Buffalo it took us a long time to get from point A to point B. Yep, I am grateful that my life is less stressed because of where we live. And I am grateful to be returning home tonight.
