What am I forgetting? What are the pros should be on the list? What are the cons that should be on the list? I will update this list as you give suggestions.
umm ME!!!! not seeing me every other day!! duh definetly a con :p
Kirsten, you would fit under the “Leaving the wonderful people of Shannon Oaks Church” con…
I noticed you have a few more PROS than CONS
You guys will be missed
not going to IMPACT anymore.
Spillin – are you saying that as a pro or as a con?
CON – Oklahoma has a state income tax…
con.
Isn’t it a bit late for pros and cons. It is what it is at this point. Con, you will live in the land of sooner. CON!!!!!!!!!! You will also get asked now when you travel… “now where is Oklahoma?”
PRO – To be able to spread Gods Word a way that Brian and Heather can only spread!
PRO – Imprint Brian and Heather’s unique awesomeness on more of our future generation.
PRO – A larger sphere of influence
PRO – The oppertunity to unify youth groups state-by-state
PRO – Apparently to get Kirsten on the blog more often than not!!!
The pink sno cone stand is a definate con!
CON–It’s still a LONG day’s drive or an EXPENSIVE plane ride from Nashville to OKC!!!
PRO–At least Southwest flies direct from Nashville to OKC (I think) and the airport is in OKC (instead of hours away).
CON–”TORNADO ALLEY?”
PRO–A bigger variety of restaurants for gift cards/stocking stuffers for Christmas.
Mom, I think you need to consider the small pro that while it is a long drive, it is only one turn away now (turn once on I40 and you will eventually be there).
CON- Not being able to know 99% of the people where you live.
Faith, I’m going to be honest…that is a huge PRO to me.
Really? Well I guess it could be.. I would probably say that TODAY it would be a PRO but at first it scared me..
Pro – Being within 10 minutes of Barnes and Noble (I’m looking forward to this too)
Con – Not being within 10 minutes of a your personal doggy attendant
