The Good Life

Written by Natalie Traylor

Let me give you a little before moving to Louisville.  I am from Franklin, Tennessee which is 25 miles South of Nashville.  The average cost of a house in Franklin is $333,400... Yes, i said the AVERAGE! Visiting Franklin is wonderful; nice people, things to do, beautiful scenery, etc. Living there is a totally different story.  Out of 100 school districts in TN, Williamson County is the 2nd best school district.  I myself went to Williamson County Schools and did not receive appropriate academic education needed.  My parents could've sent me to a private school, but hearing that the schools were rated high in TN, why would they do that? 

Anyways back to Louisville... 

I moved to Louisville in March of 2015.  I recently got married in December 2014.  Yes, my husband and I had a long distance relationship.  He was working in Louisville, while I was finishing my student teaching placement in Murray, KY. When I first moved to Louisville, my husband and I were fortunate enough to have family friends who let us rent a house.
