We have been asked this question quite a bit with in the last year. Do we like Alabama? Yep! We do! It is so beautiful here where we live! The mountain views are amazing as we are out driving. Seeing deer and rabbits and other wild life is pretty cool. And of course all the horses we see on our way in and out of our area.
It has taken some time to get used to how FAR everything is. To get to the nearest store, gas station or food place it is about 8 miles. (15 minutes with the winding roads). SOOOO different than in FL where everything was right around the block. So now, especially with the gas crisis...we try to do all our running around at one time. We make many stops at once but then we are done for the week!! (except running to the post office for our ebay packages that we send out).
We experience the seasons here!! I LOVED Fall!!! The leaves changing colors..seeing all the fall decorations. We went to the fall festival at a local school. There seems to be so much to do in the area around the fall and the holidays.
Don't get me wrong...I REALLY REALLY miss being so close to Walt Disney World (less than 90 minutes) and so close to the beach (about 15 minutes). It seems so strange to not have been to WDW since January and that was just a quick day trip. I miss John's Pass and our "beach pizza".
I don't regret the decision to move here to AL to be close to mom and dad and help them out. We really do enjoy the area and the house.
So, yeah! We like Alabama!!!
