I have adjusted to Georgia. Although, it is obvious to everyone I meet that I am NOT from here. I make due. But going back home I notice lots of things that I didn't when I lived there. But, it feels comfortable, like an old bathrobe. I have started working for some Minnesota cities again and listening to those accents (that I didn't realize existed when I lived there) gives me comfort. Way to go, Brian. I feel a little bad plotting and planning for room usage once my kids move out too. I try not to do it in front of them, if I can help it!

That was nerve-wracking time with my oldest, and we are up for round two next year. Not looking forward to it. The ACT's haven't been promising this far. <br /><br />I feel that way about Southern California. Just the moist air alone does me in. I miss it so much. I live in the true desert now, with some semi-serious winters. I miss having a warm stretch in the middle of January once in a while. I miss the plants that don't grow here.I miss the heavy Latino influence. Best food in the world, warmest hearted people.Amarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851705755045197778noreply@blogger.com
