The New Me!

Okay, so for those that are outdated on my most recent life changes....

• I moved to Tennessee in May of this year to live with Andrew (my boyfriend)

• Andrew and I have been dating for over a year now. He is my world and my best friend.
• Andrew and I have started our little family by adding Royce (Lab) and Reba (Redbone Coonhound)...both of them consume our every spare second and are the joy of our home.

• We are living in the country hills outside of Chattanooga--loving not being in  an apartment!

• I am working at Academy Sports and Outdoors. Have had a promotion and 3 raised since I began in June...loving it! I am Apparel Team Lead, work oodles of hours, and spending too much time and money on my 25% discount throughout the store! :) Let me know if you need anything!
• I am taking this semester off school because  I am not yet considered in-state for tuition purposes, but and returning in the Spring to go into Education. I want to teach the 5th grade and eventually go to grad school for Administration to be a principal.
• My weekly schedule is boggled by work every week, but once in a great while I get a weekend DAY off...Always take advantage of those to spend time with the family at the dogpark, swimming with the dogs, hiking, and Andrew and I newest hobby of garage sales. lol.
• Constantly house hunting, but currently trying to stay in touch with the market....maybe get back into the house market soon?
• Have met a few great gals that I call my friends here...Caitlin, Anne, Lauren, Amber, and April. (Miss my girls back home like crazy.)
• Hardest things that I have had to adjust to in the south...
• Shopping Carts are called Buggies (and refer to the as that)--weird I know.
• Ordering yourself a regular tea will be delivered as a sweet tea 100% of the time. Hate it!
• Lemonade is not sweetened down here-the tea is. Love the lemonade/ lemon water :)
• Apparently I speak too fast with my northern accent... ?!?!?!
• Majority of people here don't deserve to have a drivers license. UGH!
• Miss my family and friends back home
• Best things about the South
• BBQ. Yummo! Sugars is #1
• Coleslaw on your BBQ--double YUMMO!
• Sonic
• Mountian Views
• Outdoor Fun- Hiking, Camping, Scenic Attractions.
• Meeting new genuine- life impacting people everyday!
