Surprisingly very Beautiful. I have always sort of pictured this region of the states to be similar to Arizona desert type dry flat land. I don't know why? It is actually just the opposite. I feel at home here. Just like being in Washington State. Green everywhere! The humidity is worse, but A/C is a given, not a privilege. The trees, the mountains. There are waterfalls, and hiking trails and wonderful parks. I am enjoying this so far.
Our new home is a wonderful fit. Finally something that fits our family. 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a kitchen we can all stand in at the same time and still move around. Spacious yard and an in ground swimming pool. Perfect. Even better Cory and I have an oasis in the home away from the kids. Not just a bedroom, but a sitting room, and a bathroom and a closet that says "Hey! you're a grown up now" :)
I can't wait to have family visit us here. Plenty of room for sure.
Cory is settling in nicely in his new role here at work and the kids are enjoying the break from school. They have already made a few friends within the neighborhood, but honestly, since they each have their own room, they aren't going outside as much as they used to. Even more shockingly- I haven't put up the trampoline yet, and they aren't begging me for it. Not one child has asked even once. I think that is where the pool has distracted them. Fine with me.
Putting things together to make this wonderful house our home
Signing off from the southern state for now....
