The Days Following Marriage

Upon returning from their honeymoon, Mike and Dayna moved into a small two bedroom apartment in Florence.  Here they stayed until October, even though only weeks after his return from his honeymoon he had been transferred to a work site in Decatur, Alabama, which was about an hour drive each way.  During this time Dayna took a job waiting tables at the Mexican restaurant, Rosie's.  In October, they made another move.  Mike was transferred again, this time to a location in Cullman, Alabama, which was too far to commute.  However, Mike's grandparents lived in an old house outside Cullman and had an extra room and they welcomed Mike and Dayna into their home.  While Mike worked to find a new job, Dayna took a position working at a coffeehouse in town, which she thoroughly enjoyed.  Their stint in Cullman lasted five months until finally Mike took a job with a small consulting firm in Atlanta, Georgia.  Dayna made the trip to Atlanta without Mike to find a place to live and found a great little apartment in between Sandy Springs and Buckhead where they would spend the next nine months.
