Well, we made it, and with all of our belongings. Many thanks to friends in Tuscaloosa for packing our truck in record time last Sunday and to people who don't even know us (along with Kenny and Grant) in Starkville for unloading our truck in world record time. Without their help and Amelia's parents, we may still be on the road somewhere between Tuscaloosa and Starkville.This week has been filled with settling-in type activity, like unpacking boxes and figuring out which light switch controls which light. Today we hosted our first party. It is my mom's birthday so family from Jackson and Birmingham met here for the celebration.
An intersting side note...we took a walk around the neighborhood this afternoon and realized that possibly 8 out of 10 homes have some sort of bulldog statue displayed in their yard. We do not yet have the official numbers, but it is estimated that we spied between 20 and 30 of the works of art in a 20 minute walk. So naturally in an effort to fit in, we will start looking for the perfect bulldog to guard our front door next week.

Your home is beautiful! Can't wait to see pictures of the inside (once you unpack of course). We miss you already!
I love the new house! Keep up the blogging- we enjoy knowing what you guys are up to.

Get an elephant, go against the flow. Granted, they may mysteriously disappear, but its a small price to pay.
I agree with Kenny, you will have character with an elephant!
Dave! Not you too. Everyone I know is being slowly sucked into the Blogosphere. Is your life really so interesting as to be published? Next thing I know you'll be sermonizing and passing along tips on how to make napkins out of old clothes or something. Just kidding. If you didn't have this blog, we may have never talked again until Kingdom Come. Let's hablar on the phone. Can I look up your work number at Miss. State yet? Congrats on graduating and the job!
