Oh good, I'm afraid the potential for dorkiness definitely comes along with Avery-Friendship.
I'd say it took me about three or four months to feel like this place was home. Everyone here is really friendly, but with such a small town where everyone already knew each other, it felt a bit on the outside for awhile. So it was when I really started making those connections to people and the town that I realized it was where I wanted to stay.
