I grew up in South Mississippi, and it is and always will be one of my favorite places to be. I moved to Owensboro, KY in the winter of 2008, and as you can imagine, I did not take well to the cold. I was pretty determined that I would never enjoy living up here. First there was the ice storm that took out the electricity for 2 weeks, and then the summers are no where near as warm as I am used to, which means very little time in the pool. Not to mention I miss my family terribly and often wish I was near the beach again.
However, eventually Fall came around.....
I realized what I had been missing with all of the changing leaves and beautiful fall colors!
Although I will always miss the coast, I know now, that I can be just as happy living here......so long as I get to visit my family and friends in MS. I love the cool temperature, and the beautiful colors that you don't get living on the coast. I also look forward to our annual trip to Galtlinburg. I love driving through the mountains, and occasionally pulling over to wonder down a scenic trail in anticipation of the beautiful view that awaits me at the end.
I absolutely love the Smoky Mountains this time of year, there is truly nothing like it!
And the boys.......
Well, they seem to enjoy being out in this cooler weather as well.
