The town that we live in has about 427 people. That is right you could pretty much hold your breath from one end to the other. No stoplights, no restaurants, but we do have an elementary school. Anyway this has made it very difficult to get internet and we finally found a company that would provide it in the middle of nowhere. Since we have moved here we have had a new perspective on a lot of things. Some of them are...
*That living a couple miles over a state line and the nearest town is in another state creates a lot of problems. Although a town is only 20 minutes a way we have to drive nearly an hour to register our cards, update drivers licenses, and get safety inspections for our cars. Although this is a pain it is much better than having to pay the horrible pricing for registration that the state of Arizona chargers.
*Because we live a couple miles over the state line Jaxon does not qualify for the preschool programs because they are for Arizona residents.
*Living in Southern Utah we have quite a few bugs but we cannot get a pest control company to come spray for us because all of the Arizona companies are not certified in the state of Utah, and the nearest Utah town that has any pest control will not drive that far once a month to spray. So Jared has become our professional pest controller.
*Not only do we live on a state line but we also live in a different time zone than the town that is closest to us. That was until yesterday because Arizona doesn't have daylight savings, so we are now on the same time after months of calculating which time it was where and having Jared work in a different time zone than we lived in. We are looking forward to the time change in April because that is when we gain an hour, with this time change we lost an hour since we were now on the same time as Page.
*What keeps us on the outskirts of town is the drastic difference in price for renting a place, and keeping our residency in Utah so we don't have to change it again since we plan to only live here for a few years until Jared gets licensed.
