Looking forward to:
Not having a phone number that anyone can get from the number on my door. On one occasion someone called to shoot the breeze and finally said, "So are you going to buy a car from me or what? I asked who it was and he said, "Don't you have a jeep?" Nope, sure don't.
Another time someone called up and Brittany answered the phone. They asked her if they could talk to her mom (she does sound young but she is clearly not Claire) to which she responded, "This is the mom." Then they guy, which was the same one that so kindly signed to me to make sure I could understand said, "Your honda was in neutral and just rolled back into the parking lot." Thanks bud but our car is a Toyota and has no sun roof...or tinted windows...or...well, you get the picture.
Not seeing the cat lady for known reasons and not moving cat poop away from my front door.
Not seeing "Big Mama" with the grill for front teeth at the swimming pool. Don't get me wrong she was really nice but it got really old listening to her call herself big mama for hours.
"Please listen to Big Mama. Big Mama needs to buy a bathing suit. Big Mama needs to go to the apartment for a minute. Big Mama needs you to do this...Big Mama Big Mama." Is that wearing on anyone else? Claire was a little confused and would ask, "Why is she calling herself Big Mama?"
Not seeing everyone and their dog out for a smoke break and holding my breath as I walk past and worrying about the girls.
Not having the smell of smoke in our clothes.
Having a washer and dryer in my house.
Not having the girls pick up bottle caps that say "Bud Light" that they think are treasures that I found in Hallie's mouth. Can I throw up now?
Those among MANY other things....
Word.

I can't believe you actually found Hallie with a Bud Light bottle cap in her mouth. That is so disgusting. We loved all your stories and will miss them greatly. But I'm sure you will come up with some more. I hope people in your ward don't think you have gone inactive and taken up smoking once you come back to church smelling like smoke. ~Meredith
Ohh, come on Leah!!! How bad could it have been? Just kidding. I am sure it was pretty nasty. But you endured it. Kudos to you. And I agree with Meredith. You will come up with some more funny stories to tell. No doubt at your or Zeb's expense. Good times.

p.s. can you believe I commented before Josh?
Bud Light bottle cap- NASTY!
Big Momma talk would get annoying.
Smelling like smoke- YUCK and it can dull your senses (which is only helpful when changing poopy diapers).
I hope we still get entertaining posts but I am glad you are going back to wonderful Waco (I am jealous).
Hey, great stories though! I'm sure it will be nice to have life settle down a bit.
I am so, so sorry. glad your heading home.
The Big Mama story had me rolling and the Bud Light cap story had me gagging!! Are you freaking kidding me?!!! (That is almost as bad as nasty road gum from the classic skating parting lot!!) You take the cake for best apartment stories. I can't wait for next weekend. We'll need to find out what is going on in Vegas for the fourth of July. :) Yippee!
Wow. Better watch that Hallie, she's already used to the taste of alcohol! *GAG* ;) And have you ever played the game "Big Bootie"? I'm totally thinking of changing it to "Big Mama"...that just makes me laugh thinking about it. ;)
I for one, am sorry you moved. I looked forward to reading your latest experiences...
I'm going to miss hearing about your fun adventures in Dallas. I'm sure Utah will be fun too, but with less Big Mama and beer cap stories. Have a great time visiting your fam.
