Things we've learned...

I realize this blog is now going to be completely out of order but...well I don't really care right now. Truthfully, I've missed blogging and can't wait to catch you all (even though my faithful sister and mom are probably "all") up on what we've been doing. Although, I don't have a clue where my camera cord is (among other things), I have been documenting our lives, you'll just have to hang tight to see the pictures. We've shared a lot of laughs, tears, and lessons learned together on this new adventure, which I thought I'd share with you. Hey, maybe you'll even learn something new!

1. There's something weird about washing dishes in the same room you use the bathroom in.

2. Driving around towns you've never been to without a map is a bad idea.

3. Driving from Texas to Georgia going 62 miles an hour goes very s-l-o-w-l-y.

4. McDonalds has good (and free!) wi-fi.

5. Hampton inn hotels are pretty dependable and offer military discounts (not to mention
waffles every morning).

6. We both like to eat when we are bored (bad habit I know...)

7. Cars left in neutral require keys in the ignition, which kill the battery after an entire day.

8. Living in two different time zones is really confusing, and we're constantly asking if you mean Alabama time, or Georgia time.

9. Sam's club, bass pro, academy, target, and bed bath and beyond all provide much more comfort than you probably realize.

10. Jason's deli wedding paper plates are the bomb...and disposable!

11. Things in cardboard, and bread don't do well submerged in ice for three days.

12. Plants prefer air conditioning as opposed to air tight cars.

13. The further into the deep south you get, the more fried chicken you see.

14. As soon as you cross the Texas border it's green, luscious, and actually rains more than once a year.

15. Some motorist must be really dumb because there are actually signs that say "move over for stop emergency vehicles". As if plowing right into them was your true intention.

16. Don't take reverse for granted. You really miss it when you can't use it.

17. Having four guns, two of which are within arms reach, is quite comforting when all you see is fried chicken.
