That makes it sound like Wichita Falls is a smidge bigger than a lil Texas Cow Town!

Do a little *exploring* -
you might find there's some *Phunn Stuff* in Town waiting to be discovered.

This is a large sized city with absolutely nothing going on except an air force base. In this town I run into at least 2 people I know every single time I go to Walmart. In this town it's hard to go anywhere without running into people I know (and I've only been here 2 years, I really don't know THAT many people). This IS a small town. It may have lots of numbers of citizens, but its only because of the air force base, and it's a big sized city with people spread out far. Trust me, it's a 'small town' Not the kind of town that you blink and miss it, but the kind of town that you pass threw and not one thing catches your eye. Blah, maybe another trip to the library is in order, but it just made me so depressed last time I was there. It's ugly, poorly laid out, and it was a ghost town in the library also, which may be why it was so depressing. Just no one was there I used to love to hang out in the library when I was a teen before I had a car or a computer. I would go and read and people watch and just chill and have a great time. There were just a few older people there, no teens, no small children with their mothers. I hope that by the time Quinn is old enough to go to book readings at the library (they do have these though), the library is a more interesting place and she'll enjoy it.

Sorry, didn't mean to go off subject. I just miss home hehe. Sometimes I get home-sick, especially when the subject of the library is brought up. I do miss it back home, and not trying to sound like a snob or anything, but it seems like there was a much stronger emphasis on education back in MI. Heck, maybe we'll move to a nicer city by the time Quinn is ready for school. Austin is one of the top rated cities for both education and jobs. Ok I'll stop babbeling now.
