fun discoveries in Rowlett, TX

Since we began living in Rowlett on a full-time basis, Chris and I have found a couple of fun things that will become staples in our household.

1. The Rowlett Community Center - This place has all the exercise equipment you would find in a gym, 2 raquetball courts, 2 basketball courts, and an indoor walking track all for $72 PER YEAR!!! That's right... for $6 each month, you can go get some exercise at a really nice, clean facility. I have only seen it from the outside, but Chris has already started doing his runs there because it is just so stinkin' hot to be running outside. We were excited to find this deal!'

2. The Rowlett Public Library - To some people, this might not be a big deal, and yes, almost every city has a public library. However, I LOVE public libraries! You can read any book you want, and you don't have to pay for it. I have really rediscovered my love of reading since college, so the public library makes me really happy. I went for the first time today and got my very own library card. I still remember getting my first library card and feeling so important when I got to sign my OWN name on the back. I felt so grown up. When I was in there today, I saw all the stuff for their summer reading programs. This brings back floods of memories! I can remember going to the library every summer to pick up my canvas bag, check out some books, and start earning my free personal pan pizza. Such great memories. I can't wait to take baby Field in a few years!
