The Top 10

Sorry to have been silent for a minute…but I always understimate the amount of work to move. Especially with kids (and all their stuff) involved.  Needless to say plenty of work left but we’ve been moved in to the new place in Irvington for over 2 weeks. Thank God for amazing friends. Don’t know what we would have done without em.

Many people are asking us about our new community. And since I’ve been an Eastsider for a couple weeks I’m noticing plenty of differences. As a Letterman fan I thought I would break it down in classic Top 10 format.

  1. No one has mailboxes in our Irvington neighborhood. Fishers crib- mailbox? Yes.
  2. In our first visit to McDonald’s here we had the only white kids in the place.  (Pretty cool actually.
  3. Many people here think everyone living in Fishers is rich, and many in Fishers think everything inside I-465 has been claimed by the Crips and Bloods.
  4. In the city, art is appreciated, valued, worshipped, and includes a range of formats and methods… and in Fishers art is mostly what goes on the refrigerator by an alphabet magnet. :)
  5. We have already met our neighbors!
  6. Fishers has lots of pizza places but only Irvington has Jockamo Upper Crust Pizza!
  7. Our current kitchen would fit in our Fishers kitchen at least two times.
  8. Potholes down here are large enough to fit my Honda in. In Fishers; a pothole gets someone fired.
  9. At our first visit to the Irvington library we saw a fight broke up (inside the library). In Fishers, occasional soccer mom glaring occurs.  
  10. Fishers has an S’Bucks every half mile, but Irvington has Lazy Daze. Word.

Wow, sounds like you had more culture shock moving 30 miles than we had moving 300.

Interesting, however, there is a Starbucks right in Irvington on Washington St., you must have missed it. It’s close to the library. Meet up w/you there sometime.

I always love the updates and this Top 10 is a hoot. Also love your new home- so much personality- even though I stay in prayer about ‘the hood’ sections, ha.
