Why I Like Living In Carrollton

You would think that living in close proximity to Saginaw would be a bad thing. Not quite actually.

We live in Carrollton. It is the first place north of Saginaw. We only live 3 miles from the Saginaw city limit. We are close. And, so far, it's been great! No crime. Quiet. Peaceful. It's more like small towns over in the Thumb. It's really nice here. Since my family and I moved over here in Febuary, we have been nothing but happy here.

One of the reasons why is the schools. The Carrollton School District is extremely nice. This is great for Stevie. It's awesome for us as parents. The education they can give Stevie is just what he needs at this point. It's challenging for him. And, unlike Cass City, he feels welcome at Carrollton. that alone earns point in our books. You see, Carrollton has a major program that teaches the kids without special needs how to deal with kids that do have them. That makes it better for the kids who do have troubles. they are more accepted, more liked. Cass City has nothing like that and that led to many times Stevie being shit on. He hated school there! I sure don't blame him. As far as I'm concerned, Cass City Schools suck! Anyway, Carrollton is just so good when it comes to teaching kids how to be friendly and tolerant of others who may have differences. That's why Stevie likes going to Carrollton!

Other than that, it's nice to be close to Delta and the VA. Since so much of my life revolves around those places, it does make it easier for me. That's a good thing.

I also like how much closer to the NorthLand we are. Hell, we took a day trip to Gaylord earlier this year. A day trip! We couldn't have done that from Cass City, Snover, or anywhere else in Sanilac County. Just as we wouldn't have come over this past Saturday for the OCC deal. It would not have been worth it then. I also don't think we would have went to any Saginaw Spirit games either. And, going to those has been a blessing. It made me fall back in love with hockey. There is just so much to do over here. So much good stuff is closer to us here than anywhere else we have ever been. that is so sweet!

So, see that's why I like living in Carrollton. It is just a great place.
