peach state

The more we are here, exploring our new surroundings, the more we've come to love our new home. Georgia has started opening up her beauty to us. The smell of the pine trees. The friendly southern hospitable atmosphere. The rain that slips in on a sunny afternoon, and dissipates after a generous downpour. We are taking it all in.

Something else we are taking in...

 Cable. Yes, that's right, we now have more than 1.5 channels. And internet. No, we are not letting our kids be lazy and sit around all day. But it is nice to have the option.

I gave these more than a passing glance today, when I realized that these can be found within a few hours of here. How awesome is that?!

I talked to a girl at work yesterday, and when we got talking about our family moving to the south. She mentioned her parents had done the same, for practically the same reasons. A days trip to the mountains or the beaches. Four full seasons of glorious weather. And the best part? She loved growing up in Georgia. I just pictured our children saying the same thing someday. It affirms our decision to move to this wonderful place. It helps me, when I get down sometimes because we are so far away from everything we've ever known. From family and friends. We miss you all dearly. But we hope that this decision, to be here and now, will be something we are grateful for forever.
