Hi EF guys,

Let's back up a little bit???? Please means "Lets back up a little bit" = "Lets talk about something, what happened before?"....For example...

Okay, lets back up a little bit...Soon after my graduation, in July of 2003, David and I bought a house. It is actually located in walking distance from my parents! It's really not as bad as everything thinks. Most people think we are crazy for living that close... but there are benefits you know...like, "what's for dinner?" and "mom, can you babysit the kids?", etc. Just kidding! We really do enjoy our location. We are at the end of a road in a cal-de-sac with nothing but woods behind us. It's very private and quiet. To top it off we have good neighbors as well!

I have never heard that...:-(

Thank you in advance..
