Life in Selma, AL

Friday, March 20th, 2009

We are officially in Selma.

Here is a picture of where we are living (Alan and Mareike’s house).

Life in Selma is different and awesome……

I went to the courthouse last week to apply for a permit to carry a handgun (weird, I know). Yesterday I stopped by to sign the paperwork and finalize the process. Easy enough right? Well, it turns out a man in Collier County Florida used my social and birth date when he was arrested and convicted of something. So this man is a convicted felon and has an active nationwide felony warrant for his arrest and extradition to Florida. So, I was supposed to be arrested the moment I entered the Sheriff’s Office. After arresting me they would call Florida and begin the extradition process that could take up to 10 days while I sat in the Dallas County Jail. Sounds like a bad/good joke right? It wasn’t and they were pretty serious about it. Obviously, I didn’t get arrested. They ended up calling the Florida Sheriff’s Office and they said it was a mistake. Done……

Did I mention we bought a house today?

What a weird day…and it’s only 12:00.

Goodbye Nashville

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

It’s been quiet around here right?
We’ve been really busy soaking up our last week in Nashville. Here is what it’s been like…

Ate Sushi with friends and saw Jacob Blount play at Bongo Java.
Heather and I drove to Birmingham after the show.
Hung with the Bedouins International guys.
Heather drove to Selma to look at some houses.
Ate Davenport’s Pizza with Heather. This pizza is stupid good.
Stayed with our amazing cousins Kent and Carmen. Kent cooked an amazing breakfast on Sunday morning while 5 inches of snow fell.
We played in the snow. Snowmen, ski instructor Kent, boogie boards, snowballs, snow angels, heaven.
Drove back to Nashville to eat with some friends.
Dinner with 2 couples turned out to be a surprise going away party that was out of sight. “Hick” themed madness! I can’t remember ever being surprised like this. It was the coolest thing ever!!
Packed all day Monday.
My last Monday night at the Flying Saucer(as a Nashville resident).
