I am reluctant to say it, but... Georgia is growing on me.  This past month has been wonderful as I have been making more friends, getting more hair clients, and figuring out how to live in a totally new world. It really is completely different.  For example: 

*  There are tons and tons of violent crimes.  I can not even watch the news for longer than one minute without hearing about a man beat to death infront of his wheelchair bound mother, or an innocent army officer mauled with her 11 year old daughter at the Cracker Barrel, or a gun show-down with a man and two robbers in the middle of the street in the middle of the day.  Needless to say, I don't watch the news anymore.

*  We were in what Gerogian's consider a "severe drought."  Obviously none of them ever lived in Arizona because I think it rains all the time here, especially lately.  Good news:  the drought is over.  Bad news:  We are extremely flooded.  It's been really tragic for many families, but thankfully Eric and I are just fine.  I didn't even know the extent of it because, like I said, I never turn on the news.  I finally decided to turn it on and see when this rain was going to end because it had been pooring non-stop for an entire week and our street was starting to look like a river.  It was then I saw this:

                                

It's Six Flaggs turned into the coolest water park ever!!!  Crazy!

*  All I am going to say is being a caucasion, I am definately in the minority.

*  In GA, bananas peel themselves:

But one thing that it has in common with Arizona is it is home to the definition of adorablness:

We are moving right along in our quest to return to the company of family.  Eric just finished his first quarter of school today!  I have realized that I need to stop focusing on the future of returning home or I will be miserable, so I am not going to think about the fact that we only have 4 3/4 years left here now. (YES!)  Nope.  I am going to enjoy today and live in and love each moment here.
