The Vermonter. A creative title if I must say so myself. This title has been stolen straight off the tracks that whiz past my home on a daily basis allowing life to be "shaken up" a bit. A note about me: I grew up in the Midwest, moved to the South for a couple years while pursuing a graduate degree, and recently moved to the Northeast aka New England aka the tundra. This blog is being started so that I can capture the little nuances of this new place I call home. I am an Indiana girl through and through, but easily adapted to life in the South. The mild climate and grande lifestyle that comes along with being "southern" were all too easy for me to adjust to. I loved football, my new school LOVED football. I owned two snazzy pairs of cowboy boots and I was allowed to wear them every day. I live for country radio and The Highway would blare through my satellite radio which conveniently still hasn't cancelled nearly two years after the free trial. In the words of that country radio the South is where the "beer is colder and girls are hotter." I'm not a beer drinker, so I don't know about that, but I know for sure that the girls are never hotter than they are at Indiana University. Nonetheless, I'll take the phrase and run with it...straight south. Yes, Indiana is ME, the South was easy, and now here I am in Vermont where it. never. stops. snowing. God has brought me to this new place far from home, far from the greatest place ever (Bloomington, IN), and REALLY far from the southern sun and gas prices (20 degrees warmer and 20 cents cheaper). But I intend to do everything here that He has planned for me. And when I make that drive south on 89 where the skies open up to the view of Bolton Valley, Camel's Hump, and Stowe, every part of my being knows that God is here.
