I’m living in the Frisco-Prosper area in N Dallas. Ive never lived in a more convenient area. Things are closeby, schools are wonderful, kids activities of all types and lots of professionals around. No friends here yet though. I am from South Florida where all my family and friends are, but is not as convenient and lots of bad traffic etc. With work I have the option either to stay where I am or I can move back. Is it better to be around people you love, or a better city to raise kids?

So uhhh anyone need a house sitter the week before memorials day weekend? Wanted to visit the city and go to the office a few days but my friend who I usually crash with is out of town

The biggest thing I keep running and running around my head- after 8 months, why did he drop me? When he texted ending it l….it wasn’t me, like we weren’t us, his words were from someone else, like I didn’t matter.
