New Lights - I hate them!

So, they finally got around to finishing the streetlights along College (right outside our house). I was not happy when they first started putting them in but even less happy now that they have turned them on! It's like a football stadium in my house - so bright! We will have to sleep with the door shut to the living room - which I hate. I like having our doors open. I feel sorry for Jacob since his room will be pretty brightly lit with one of the new streetlight's blazing onto the front of the house. I guess one advantage is that our porch is much brighter now. We used to turn the porch lights on but because they were on the outside of the wall, there wasn't much light on the actual porch. Now no one should have any problems walking out our door to the house. Oh, and we won't really have to turn on the back yard light since another "wonderful" light brightens up that area quite nicely. Ugh! The cost of growth in Frisco. Had I known now what I knew then about how our little corner would evolve (no parking in front, ugly signs, bright lights to disturb our sleep), we would not have let Jacob have "the cow house". 

 The part of College where the lights have not been turned on yet.

The lit up part - no one should complain that they can't see!!
