When I was reading a few pages describing the town Boone Creek that Jeremy and Lexie were moving to I started thinking about Asquith. It sounded a lot similiar. It had the small town feel like everyone knows everyone and you could always go over and ask for a cup of sugar. I like that feeling, it feels safe.
With Jeremy and Lexie preparing for the baby, they start talking about what they want for their child. They were saying what facial features they wanted the kid to have and what plans they were making for its future. It made me think about what my parents thought about when they found out I was coming into their world. Did they want me to become a doctor or a scientist and cure cancer or were they just happy with me being happy and healthy. It is crazy how little things that come into your head make you think of things that aren't apart of daily thinking.
Lexie lived in a small town her whole life. She was raised in a very old fashion way. You don't have sex with a guy who you aren't married to. Lexie didn't really follow that tradition, but she still didn't want the whole town to know about her bastard child so she didn't tell anyone about it. She wanted to rush to get married so she wouldn't start to show before she was married to Jeremy. I find it funny how times have changed. Sex and marriage aren't as big of a deal anymore which is sad because it should mean A LOT, it is a life choice.

What has changed? Why do you think that is the case? Great connections, and observations.
