Texas is a great place- don't let Than lead you to think otherwise! And, we're in an older home-that's why there's the 2 prongs!
WE sure have had some laughs with Connor enjoying repeating "ya'll"- we've given him positive reinforcement for it!
We do miss the mountains and our precious friends, but are excited about what God has in store for us here!

WAHOO! The Browns are back online!!
I could tell immediately that the list was a Than Brown original and every one of them made me laugh, especially imagining Connor saying "y'all!"
We miss "y'all" up here. Have fun at those high school football games - it'll be your own boys on the field before you know it!
Adina commented on your blog, Than! Hooray! We will convert her yet.
Thanks for the insights into the culture shock you are experiencing. Looking forward to hearing more about your Friday nights at the stadium. BTW, what kind of fried foods have you encountered so far. I've heard they fry lots of interesting things besides chicken.
For the record, my favorite fried food is fried dill pickle spears with yellow mustard.
Than - I keep saying you need to sell the foreign car and get an old beat-up Ford pickup. One with a gun rack and a dented fender.
On a positive note:
1. You do not need conditioner.
2. You save a bundle on lotion.
3. Sweet tea is the only option.
4. Takes only 10 minutes to go across town or less.
5. Everyone in Sweeetwater will eventually love and adore your children.

Than, I busted up thinking of Connor and his new drawl! Thanks so much for your words, it is that which makes me think that relationship can almost be done online!
Many blessings to you from our great God!

Another thing I was reminded of today as I entered a restaurant was that men around here hold the door open for women! I really like that!
