Tonight not only marks a beginning of the 2008 presidential race debates, it also is quite a symbol of Mississippi’s achievement.

Tonight is the first debate of the 2008 presidential race at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, MS. For those of you that don't know, Oxford is where Kris and I were raised and Ole Miss is my Alma Mater. I am very proud for Oxford and Ole Miss to have the honor of hosting such an event.

For those that are not aware of the Ole Miss history, this is really quite impressive. Do you think that James Meredith could have ever been able to dream that in a little over 40 years an African-American presidential nominee would be participating in a debate at the same university where he had to be accompanied by the National Guard to enter the Lyceum his first day of class?

Changes

A lot has changed recently in the Meyer-Suddath household...

We recently moved to Batesville, IN from Marietta, GA. As you can imagine, it has been quite an adjustment! We moved from Atlanta to a small town that does not even have a Wal-mart! Quite a change, but we are doing well.

I accepted a position with Batesville Casket Company and Kris transferred with the same company, Pike Electric. My parents currently live in Mexico, so Kris and I moved in with my brother at my parent's house... happy little family. It is great to be in a house again! There is a lot more to keep up with in an old house, but well worth it. Miles is even happier... he is able to run without a leash for the first time in his life!

We are definitely staying busy. We are busy with our new jobs and the house. Kris is helping build a cabin at the Meyer farm and I am busy studying for the CPA. We are also able to spend a lot of time with my extended family and friends. I have to say... in our short time here, Kris is already part of the family!

We miss Atlanta and our friends especially, but we look forward to the changes that will come living the "small town life"!
