We live in Louisville?

Yup it's true, we moved to Louisville Kentucky. On January 2, 2015 we moved our So Cal selves to the mid-west/south-east/mid-east....Kentucky!  Where exactly does Kentucky fit into that scheme of things? We haven't been given a straight answer! There are some straight answers we've been given though...

1. If you didn't have allergies before you will now.  The Ohio River Valley is a hot spot for all things that grow.
2. If you don't like the weather don't worry, it will change in a day or two (or sometimes within the hour).
3. Black ice is real!
4. Kentucky Fried Chicken does have a buffet.
5. There TOTALLY is such a thing as Utah Mormons!
6. You'll be told to have a blessed day at least once a day if you leave your house.
7. Old doesn't necessarily mean worn out.
8. Cold in San Diego means wearing a sweater in Louisville!
9.You are either a U of L fan or a UK fan but you can't be both, however you can be neighbors and still like each other! (our street is speckled with cardinal red and wildcat blue flags)

I'm sure there are tons more.  It has been a big adjustment moving here but mostly just becoming familiar with the people and routines.  It helps when you can find your way around without always having to use the GPS and asking people which is the better Walmart.  Also I don't advise anyone to move in the middle of the winter.  It's a but of a downer when you move from a place with constant greenery to bare trees and gray skies.

We've been blessed in our move though that's for sure.  Brent has been given a promotion and a raise. We can afford to live in a house versus a condo and we are still blessed to be homeschooling, as well as many more. Life will continue to adjust and we will continue to learn how to live here with joy.
