Things have actually gone pretty well so far. Anitra and Tony are both very nice and have made us feel very comfortable in their house. Most of Kevin's family has been very friendly. His dad even made a point of welcoming me in front of everyone.
There have been a couple "moments" that I thought you would find amusing.
The first happened last night. Anitra and Tony invited two of their friends over to watch a movie with us. As we were waiting for Kevin to take a shower or something, we started watching TV. Of course, Malcom X came on. THAT was awkward. My personal favorite was in the beginning where he apparently tried to look white and was seduced by a blond white girl. Luckily Kevin came in around that point and we pressed play for the "Polar Express" Saved by an animation.
The next was today. Here is the conversation between Kevin's aunt and me.
Me: So where are you going to church tomorrow. (Huntsville is like Collegedale. There are a bunch of churches here.)
Aunt: We'll probably go to Oakwood.
Me: Is the Oakwood church kindof like the Collegedale church?
Aunt: Well, it's not really like the Collegedale church because most everyone is black.
Me: Really?!??? (Can you hear the sarcasm?!)
Kevin and I had a good laugh over that one.
So, I still don't know where we are going to church, but I did learn that the Oakwood church has a mostly black popluation. So surprising considering its location. :)
Happy Sabbath!

Really?! The Oakwood Church is mostly black?! I had no idea! Wow! Well, I guess it's true, you really do learn something new every day. I suppose next you're going to tell me that Andrews trains pastors! :-P
