I'M AT GOAL!!!!!
East Stroudsburg is a great location - and not as "rural" as you may think. It's not that far from Allentown - which is a decent sized place.
I enjoy where we live very much, however the taxes are an issue here as well as we live on what they refer to as the "main line." For this reason we are trying to relocated about 15 min. or so west where things are a tad cheaper.
Thanks for the encouragement. I am so excited for you and your hubby and that baby! I can't wait to join you myself on the "mommy bench" - but we need a bigger house first.
