Now that we are in Alabama we have been trying to adjust to the heat and humidity. The heat wouldn't be so bad but when you add humidity, the heat becomes unbearable. The temp may only be 95 but with the humidity it feels like 106. Which makes me MISERABLE. It's been quite an adjustment for the kids because they were used to running in and out of the house as they played outside with friends. Not only is it too hot to be outside but we haven't seen any other children in our neighborhood. A very drastic change! So our days are spent either in the little pool on our patio or in the air-conditioned house.

Another change that has taken some getting used to is trees, lots and lots of trees. There are no wide open spaces. Sometimes it's overwhelming and I almost feel claustrophobic. But it is a very beautiful change that we are getting used to.
One of the first things we did when we got to Alabama was to visit the Birmingham Alabama Temple. It is definitely smaller than the ones we are used to in Utah, but we are so excited to have one only 30 minutes away.

We really do like our new home and already some of us are picking up on Southern talk like "y'all" and "fix'n to". It's pretty funny when Spencer interjects them into conversation without meaning to! Ayden will soon follow once he's in school and around it all day. It's only a matter of time before we all do it.
I remember visiting my uncle and I felt a bit claustrophobic too because of all the trees! It's very pretty yes but also very heavy feeling at times. Although on the flip side when my aunt and uncle came out to Wyoming she felt overwhelmed by the lack of towns and trees! She said it almost gave her sea sickness because there was just miles and miles of nothing. Hehe. That's awesome that the temple is only 30 minutes away! <3
