We're moving to Rome!

....Rome, Georgia, that is. Tim got a job at Berry College! It's a small Liberal Arts College in Northwest Georgia. They boast of having the largest campus in the country. Acres and acres of land with deer and trails. It's beautiful. I mean, look at it!

Liberal Arts school mean they are smaller. Students and teachers have great relationships and a lot of interaction. It is mostly undergrad, although Berry has an MBA program (and Tim will be in the Business School). Visiting the campus, I wonder why anyone would want to go anywhere else. The school is awesome, the campus is beautiful, and the education is great!

Though he only lived an hour away and never even imagined he'd be teaching there, Tim likes the other Econ Professors and we are excited for the opportunity to work with them. 

This means we are moving to a small town in Northwest Georgia called Rome. It gets it's name for having rivers and hills like Rome Italy. The big "industry" in Rome is that it has the biggest hospital in Northwest Georgia. It also has a cute downtown (with a cute bakery!), and the Rome Braves, the minor league team,. There are no freeways in Rome. Or anywhere near Rome, though Atlanta and Chattanooga are both about 90 minutes away. It has about 40,000 people (about the size of Cedar City, Utah). I'm a little nervous, but I welcome a new adventure. Plus, "Grandpa's Cabin" is less than an hour away!

After finding out where we will be the next few years to the rest of our lives, we ventured down to take a look. It's only 3 hours from Nashville. We stayed the night at the cabin and the kids were happy we found Nutella in the pantry!

 Ty on campus:

 We took a trip back when Gma and Gpa were at the cabin so we  could look around without kids. It happened to be on the day of the Berry Half/10K, so I ran the 10k! It was a great way to see the campus!

So...that's where we're at. We'll probably look at houses in May and move at the end of the Summer. 

Love, the Future Romans!
