A month in...

Today marks one month since we drove down to Alabama. 

Things I love so far: 
- The clouds (they remind me of AZ clouds)
- The people (oh my goodness, I have never met such a friendly community since living in Lehi, AZ)
- The space (fields are everywhere! Houses are not crammed together. There's a lot less people than in DC)
- The stores (Sprouts, Smashburger, SONIC, and other stores I missed being close to. Hobby Lobby is nearby! And my new favorite/yet slightly awkward store is Publix. They have someone who will walk you out to your car and put the groceries in the car for you! As a mom, that is amazing. As an introvert… can you say awkward?)

Things I am not a fan of:
- Humidity (It's warmer than VA and wetter than AZ. But I can survive it so long as I'm not doing hard labor. Like moving.)
- Dixie Alley (no one told me this until I was here, but apparently they get tornadoes. And after looking online, the area is one of the highest in tornado damage cost. Excuse me while I go panic. )
- Distance (not really a bad thing, but I miss my Costco being 10 minutes away. I cry. It's a half hour there and another half hour back now. 


Overall, I am really happy. I honestly feel like this is where we are supposed to be, at least for right now. Thank heavens the Lord knows what He's doing.
