Sweet Home, (Madison), Alabama!

For those of you who may not be familiar with the city in which we are building our house, I thought I would provide some information regarding the cute city of Madison, Alabama! Many of you may be thinking, "Wait, what?! I thought you lived in Huntsville!" At the moment we are living in Huntsville, but Huntsville and Madison are very, very close together. They are so close together that one often cannot tell wether they are in Huntsville or Madison. (Think Papillion and LaVista in comparison to Omaha!) It is odd that Adam will still be working in Huntsville, but by moving to Madison we are getting closer to his work! Anyway, here are some facts:
