Living in one of the fastest growing cities in the country has it's perks. I live a reasonable driving distance away from every store I've ever wanted to go to (except H&M). They are building what is rumored to be the largest mall in the country just 2 miles from my house, and new and exciting restaurants keep popping up every week.
The downside of the growth--things are constantly changing. Sadly, we were kicked out of our ward last week. Ok, maybe boundary change would be a more appropriate term. Still, I feel like someone cut a piece of me off and I want it back! The worst part: we have to go back to 3 hour church. I guess we have been spoiled with our 2 1/2 hour time slot. I will not look forward to chasing Max around for an extra half hour every Sunday. Apparently the Gilbert/Queen Creek area is the fastest growing area in the history of the LDS church. They can't build churches fast enough. Seriously, where are all these people coming from?

Yup. What neighborhoods are in your ward now?
Just the south side of San Tan Ranch and our little neighborhood. I am seriously bummed, I LOVED my ward. My new one will take some getting used to.
They're all coming from Southern California!
Mary Ann,
That's crazy how fast your town is growing! I hope Max behaves the extra 1/2 hour of Church!
Sarah
I didn't know your city was like that! I thought we were the worst as far as fast growth and needing more churches!
