#Georgia October is like Oregon July
#The Historical houses, plantations, battle sites, etc.
#There is always a festival or event, lots of activities to go do
#NASCAR races are called on the radio
#New recreation and dining to explore
#The ocean water is warm
Worst things about living in Georgia
#Of course it is far from most of our family and friends
#Sunday/Monday night football doesn't get over until almost mid-night, so if they are both good games it is a bad way to start the week. And on that note, Sunday football doesn't start until 1:00 pm.
#Austin having to look for a job
#The clothes don't come in size small, at least I haven't found them in that size.
#The food is fried, and then fried again. Eating healthy is not as easy.
We arrived in Savannah Wednesday night and got into the company provided furnished apartment. It is a very nice apartment, but it still takes a lot of activity to move into a place. We went to Wal-mart so many times that MS Money asked if we wanted to set up a recurring payment. They provided very nice micro fiber couches, oh yeah they are white, so that is fun with 2 black pets. Our cat thankfully stays off of counters, but there is no way we can keep her off the couch.
The view out the apartment windows is to the smaller pool and at the bottom of the steps is a wooded area. We took some pictures so you could get an idea of the area.
We went house hunting on Saturday and found another good possibility. We are in the decision phase of making sure it meets all our needs. Our top pic as of now is only 5 miles to the mill. My commute would be 5 minutes. That is crazy for working at a mill!
For some reason we were thinking things would slow down when we got here, but we haven't been home one night. We went out with people from the mill, went to watch our friend's girls play soccer and we knew other people there too randomly. It is a small town feel where you see people you know everywhere. We went to the seafood festival today after unpacking this morning. It was OK, all the seafood was fried so that was disappointing for Austin. The county fair starts tomorrow and we will go to that event as well.
It will take quit a while to feel settles, but for the most part things are going very well here.
Janelle showing off the mini-van we rented to fit all the suitcases and the pets.
Bo enjoying the fact that he can pretend he is a real boy and sit in his own seat in the rental van.
The living area, Austin in the back ground getting the computer set up.
Looking into the kitchen and a good shot of the white furniture.
The pool in our area and the window to our apartment. We are on the second floor, the screen porch which is also the window out of our bedroom is being blocked by the palm tree, then to the right of that is our living room window, then the next window to the right that sticks out just a bit is Rajah's bedroom window. We were suppose to get a 1 bedroom furnished apartment but they only had 2 bedroom units. So we have a 2 bedroom unit but only 1 is furnished. The second is very useful, in the walk in closet is Rajah's litter box and food area, then in the room we are storing empty suitcases and other things.
Janelle in the "small" pool. Our apartment is in the back of the complex, the main pool and fitness area is at the entrance so they have a smaller pool and fitness area in the back. It is much less busy so it is actually nice to be by the smaller area.
Austin and Bo with the woods in the back ground. The trees here are only about 40' tall but they are much more dense.
This is driving down a busy road in Savannah, we both love the large live oak trees around that canopy the streets. There were so many incredible houses downtown as well, we are hoping to go on a tour of some soon.
Austin enjoying a drink from Baibry's the local coffee shop in Rincon, the red mini-van is ours for the time being, don't be jealous.
