Sweet Home Alabama!

We have been on an adventure of our lives the past month! We have been through 8 different states! Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama! Let me just tell you something... It was one heck of a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG drive! The dogs handled it pretty good! The poor pups had hardly any room in the back seat! We discovered Nastia likes to sit up high where she could see everything going on outside. Sometimes I really think she is actually a cat....

As some of you may know I am a huge Superman fan! So naturally when I saw a sign that said GIANT SUPERMAN STATUE 3MILES AHEAD I was stoked... and Brady thought I was a huge nerd. It was a really fun random stop to Metropolis, Illinois! They had SO much Superman stuff!

Once we finally made it to Alabama we started looking for a place to live. This is our house :)

It is in a adorable little neighborhood just a few miles out side of base. 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath and the kitchen is HUGE compared to our house in Utah. After living in a cockroach infested hotel for 10 days straight this is like living in heaven! Our house hold goods have not arrived yet... Yes i know what you are thinking... "You've been living in a house with nothing in it for almost a month now!?".... Yes, that would be correct... Nothing.

I made a lovely friend that let us use her air mattress so we aren't sleeping on the floor. We also decided that we needed couches and they got here about a week ago. So we at least have somewhere to sit now.

 The dogs approve

I really like Alabama.. I feel like the movies portray it very well! I like that country music is played everywhere you go.. I like that I get to see Tim McGraw in concert tomorrow night at the BamaJam Fest. I like that I am getting a tan and my skin is really soft. I like that everyone is nice and friendly here. Plus they all have funny accents.

What i have discovered that I don't like is number one, the bugs! They are everywhere! I don't like the terrible heat, the fact that there is not a betos/ cafe rio here and last but not least I don't like that school has not worked out very well for me. But hey, i guess that leaves me a lot of time to go thrift shopping and get in touch with my crafty side.  :)

 And snuggle troggie...

Love and Miss you all!
