Five States in Five Months

We've now lived in five states in just under six months!

This really is even better than I thought it'd be. We love being on the road and staying different places. Last time I wrote we were in South Carolina. That was our favorite campground, Forest Spring Family Campground, so far. The owner is so nice, the place is quiet, and nearby Seneca has the best laundry mat we've ever seen. Check out these washers. I know you can't really see how big they are but the two sitting next to each other are eight load washers! They sound a bit like an airplane during the final spin! Yep, those are credit card readers on them.

Todd's Dad and the newest member of his family, Sheeba, came to visit. It was great seeing them! How adorable is she? She was being a good girl waiting for her Dad to say "OK" she could come get her treat.

I thought that teardrop with the slide was so cool Todd got a picture of it for me. The pic under that he found online and we thought it was funny so there ya go. The monster camper is either just so wrong or just so right I just don't know! Ha! First time we get this baby stuck I bet I'll know.

Then we went to Norcross, Georgia for just a few weeks. That was the most interesting city we'd ever seen. We hope to go there again someday. The diversity is amazing. There are all kinds of different languages written on all kinds of businesses along with English. I've been to cities that had China Town and the like but here all of it is together with Korean text on a building right next to the Salvador Bakery next to the Mexican restaurant by the International Farmers Market. Indian, Greek, and Chinese restaurants are abundant too, just to name a few. It was quite a surprise that the campground was in the big city! Paved roads even... in the campground! Wikipedia is completely wrong about Norcross because this place is huge. Todd trained but had a little delay due to rain and the holiday (Labor Day) but passed everything and we're off again!

I was so worried about getting on that crazy Atlanta loop to come to Alabama. No problem and we were on our way to Birmingham! Helena, AL actually. Todd had computer training there just for a few days and we were off to his first regular job here in Talladega, Alabama. Yay Todd! Funny, we saw the sign on the way here for I65 and Todd said "we could take it and be home in no time". We said simultaneously "weeee aaaare hoooome"! hehehe We should be here in Talladega for one to two months. The outskirts have way more RVs than I've ever seen in such a small place.

I've been studying almost non-stop. jQuery is the new subject of choice. I get so wrapped up in it I just can't believe the clock when I look at it. The heat should be tapering off for Todd by the end of the week but he doesn't complain. All is well.
