Some thoughts on Bama
These are some thoughts I've had while living in Bama. I have LOVED living here!
1. Lots of hard workers here, no whiners.
2. Not many coffee drinkers, sweet tea all the way
3. There is no expectation of youth going to college, it's 50/50. Things are more "trade" oriented here...I like it.
4. People will always surprise you. Example: My neighbor told me yesterday that he named his cat "LMNO" because it was his favorite part of the alphabet.
5. 97.2% of the women are pregnant right now. This may be an exaggeration, and is definitely NOT MEANT to sound derogatory. There are simply a lot of pregnant women in our town.
6. There is no shame in carrying a rifle with you when cycling in case you see a wild turkey
7. U of A fans are serious about despising Auburn
8. Auburn fans are serious about despising U of A
9. Tonya's job is the most inconceivable thing....ever. Not many PA's in Bama.
10. My company's industry is the most confusing thing...ever. Not much Business Intelligence in Bama.
11. Alabama has the friendliest, most genuine people in the world. Period. Sorry Texas.
12. Friday night at the mall is dead. Saturday morning it's busting.
13. Animal trapping is a sport. This can actually be really fun.
14. Huntsville airport is the best.
15. Everyone claims "Chocolate Gravy" is the best thing in the world. I am yet to agree this product even exists.
16. Zaxby's fried chicken is "Crunk"

Week 1: Blessings Abound
God is so good. I started my job this past money and got all my payroll and insurance paperwork all fixed up so I'm finally working for money! Yay! My first week on the job has been a bit chaotic but all in all really great. Learning a new job is hard enough but then to add in moving the contents of a 10,000 sq ft house to another city is a whole other can of worms. I have a lot of work ahead but I feel much more acclimated and learned a ton. I was able to drive home to see Charlie this weekend and hang out with him which has been really fun. We went and saw Iron Man 2 last night and had a great dinner date out. It's good to be in my own bed and to see Ella. On another great note, Charlie was gone this week to Chicago for some sales meetings and came back with a raise! Congrats, Charlie, I'm so proud of you.
