Facts about Cleveland, MS that I have come up with so far:
1. At first, I was like, "What are they talking about when they say the mosquitos are bad? I haven't even felt one." Oh, Oh, Oh, what was I thinking? I have counted over 15 bites on my feet and thats just from one day. Ha. Tomorrow: Going to Wal-Mart to purchase clip on bug spray thingys...
2. It really is a small world. I was walking across the street from my house to the church when the ONE SINGLE PERSON that I know living in Cleveland that is from Oxford, MS, Jeremy Bruss, drives by...how random is that? So we chat in the street. Gotta love that about this world.
Oh, and the person that was checking me out at Wal-Mart today, we recognized each other right away...he was at Matthew Clark's house concert back in Feburary in Oxford and I was there too...random, right?
3. When you are driving through the town at night, you think that there is a fog or fire in the town and you might become concerned, but then you find out that it is bug spray repellent that they spray all night long...wow. (I hate to tell them, but I don't think it is working...)
4. Everyone waves at you; everyone speaks to you; Everyone smiles and nods; Oh, and my favorite so far are the random people that think they know you and so they continue to carry on a conversation with you, but then realize that they don't know you...and then they just stop talking in the middle of their sentence and walk away...wow. :)
5. People run. Not for exercise, but just for no reason. They just run. Hmm...
6. The water is brown right when you turn it on. Don't know why. It just is. It goes away, but its just brown at first.
7. People just walk on in to your house. They don't even knock. They just walk in. Oh, fun, right?
I'll add more once I'm here for a longer amount of time. Oh, and I"ll add pictures of my house too. :) (Even if you (Becca) are the only one reading this...teehee)
Song I wrote about how I'm feeling:
Unfamiliar territory about to be explored opening new doors
Surrounded by new faces searching for a home scared to be alone
I’m reminded and comforted by those words I’ve heard before
Oh I hold the plans for your life in my hands
Oh it’s a journey to your story
And its about to begin
A familiar scent catches me, which brings me to a smile; I haven’t seen you in a while
You’ve left those fingerprints on my heart
And I’ll remember you through these times a part
