Mississippi State University

You may have thought piggly wiggly's were only in movies like win a date with Tad Hamilton. You were wrong.
This is the Veternary Science building, one of the largest buildings on campus. It is next to about 250 acres of farmland and pastures they use to study cows, horses, plants, trees etc.
The other side of this road is the main campus and stadium. I didn't want to drop the camera trying to get a picture of the campus while going 50 mph down this road, so you get to see these trees.
This is the back of the church in West Point.
Here is the front. The chapel doubles as the gym and at least 15 people of the 100 or so people there on sunday came up to me and introduced themselves. I think there are at least 7 or 8 professors at the college in the ward as well as a bunch of young married students.
This is one building on campus. Most buildings look very similar and they are all made with the red bricks.
These are some of the faculty houses that we could rent for around $600 a month, for up to three years if we moved here.

This is Bob, posting from Starkville Mississippi, after a full day of presentations, interviews and meals with the information systems department here. Everything went very well and I expect to here back from them next week. I think I have a very good chance at getting an offer and have had a very nice experiance with the department, at the local ward and in the town. The Sainsbury's could be going to delaware! I mean Mississippi! (Try and spell that fast)

What?!? I didn't think that this was coming this soon. I secretly wanted you guys to find a job here and stay!! Well, good luck with everything and keep us posted.
Haley will be so sad if Ty-Ty (that is what she chose to call him) moved. :(

We are so excited for this opportunity for y'all! Of course we'll be so sad to see you go if you get an offer and accept!! Luckily, Mississippi is close enough for a road trip!

You guys are at least four hours closer! Maybe we will end up in the south for a while too!
