Greetings from the sticks!

Hey y'all! Just kidding...what's goin on? We are officially in Tennessee full time and I'm doing my best to adjust to the huge changes! I am going through major withdrawals from Target, Starbucks, fried zuchinni, & shopping anywhere other than Wal-Mart! I have moved to a place where there are more tractor stores than clothing or shoe stores, and where mullets are still widely accepted! I get lots of stares when I walk into any place (restaurant, has station, etc.). It's like these people have never heard of make up, hair products, peircings, or tattoos! I totally stand out & the awkward silences and crazy looks confirm it! My boys, on the other hand, are beyond adjusted! They love all the room to run & play & ride bikes! They also love spending so much time with their cousins, Nate & Riley. They have already wore out a pair of shoes each and a few pairs if pants...playing here is way more aggressive! Dylan is trying to adjust also (with different things). He now works about 500ft from the house and he is in the shop by himself most of the time. Used to take him about 45 minutes to and from work, and there were always many people around that he worked with. All his guys here work out if town and Dylan is still trying to get his office set up and where it's totally functional. We are currently living at Ken & Ramona's cabin on the Scarbrough property. Our house still has a way to go before we will be able to move in. It's really just a matter of money, so we are doing our best to be patient (not one of my strong suites). As a result, we have decided to sell our trailer!:( I'm totally bummed, but right now we just want to get our house done! One thing that I love here, is all the family. It's fun having people drop by pretty much every night and hang out. Dylan had a lot of family (kin folk) here and they are mostly awesome (yup...I said mostly...there are a few doozies)! Even though we around family a lot, I am anxious to make some friends! I miss all my family & friends and the different roles they played in my life. I still keep in touch, but it's totally not the same! I need people here I can physically hang out with or go to the tractor store with! Seriously though, I miss everyone fromCali and miss a lot of things about Cali. But, I do, however believe God had great plans for us here. He called us here for a reason! He has been so faithful & we are so beyond blessed! Instead of looking at this negatively, I am completely relying in God and choosing joy on a daily basis!
