Things I love about Canada

• The summers- We spent hours outside every day over the summer. Something we could never do in Texas. There is no humidity, so even when it gets hot, it doesn't feel as hot as what we're used to.
• The politics- Being very liberal in a state that is very conservative can be very frustrating at times. Up here, virtually everyone is on the same page as me. It's nice.
• The people- At home, there is racism and discrimination everywhere. I haven't witnessed any here. And there are people from everywhere here, as much a melting pot as the US, but here everyone coexists in harmony. It's a nice change.
• Our neighborhood- we have kids next door and behind us and our back yard is like a community yard where everyone goes from one yard to another. This is the feeling of community that was lacking in our last neighborhood.
• The school- It's close enough to walk to and we have walked every single day this year, which I love. It's small and all the kids know each other and all the teachers know all the kids. The test scores are excellent.
• Basements- This is something we miss out on in TX. It is so much easier to keep the house clean when we have unlimited storage downstairs. It's also a place for the kids to be able to run around during the winter when we're cooped up inside for so long.
