That’s the burning question! This area has every choice: in city (which feels just like Jacksonville. We think because both cities have two merging interstates), suburbs, country home with new developments scattered around, or out in the sticks.

David’s job is extremely flexible so we could live anywhere. We’re kind of settling into a homeschool group in Maryville and love it’s small-town-with-culture feel. But our church, who we’re increasingly more attatched to, is in Knoxville. Worse, thier building is temporary and they aren’t sure where they’ll relocate. And the members are scattered all over both counties.

If we aren’t careful we could end up driving more here than in Jax. Right now we’re off a nasty highway that is pretty much heavy no matter what time of day it is. We know we don’t want to be around here. If any of you readers want to know how to pray for us, that we’d have wisdom in choosing a location is a good idea.

Speaking of David’s job, this week he’s driving with his manager around East Tenn, which will be his territory. He’s anxious to get into the driver’s seat and end the passenger-side car sickness!

There is more to tell of today, like how the locals continually complain of the heat and humidity and the heat wave. I’m almost to eye-rolling stage! Cold snaps begin here in less than four short weeks, whereas Jacksonville Dah-ling will be in the 90’s for um….MONTHS?!?! Still, we must smile along. Our bodies will probably adjust in a year or so and they’ll have other hand this fall when it’s 65, we’re in sweaters and they’re still swimming!

And not to repeat myself too much here….but speaking of swimming LOL the critters are in their gear and begging to go down to the pool, where I must go lie in the shade with my book (Harry Potter number 6 and yes, it’s the best one yet), watch them play, listen to the rednecks from Alabama and thier twang, and generally relax. It’s really tough not having a yard and another bathroom and another 1000 square feet to take care of! Feel my pain.
