Have you ever wondered whether or not you belong in Alabama? We’ve all done it at least once in our lives. Sometimes we feel like uprooting and relocating to a neighboring state. Or even relocating to the opposite side of the U.S. If you can relate to any of the 12 signs listed below, you DEFINITELY belong in Alabama.
1.) You enjoy the outdoors, whether it be on LAND…

2.) or WATER.

Matthew Guay Alabama is home to some of the most beautiful white-sand beaches EVER!
3.) You love to EAT!

4.) You believe KINDNESS goes a long way.

5.) You enjoy college football.

6.) You’re a religious person.

7.) You can handle the hot summer weather…

8.) but the winter weather, not so much.

9.) You like getting more for your money.

10.) You’re a NASCAR fan.
flickr/Curtis Palmer NASCAR fans flock to Talladega each year to watch the races. Talladega hosts the Sprint Cup Series, XFINITY Series and Camping World Truck Series. It’s also NASCAR’s longest oval track, measuring 2.66 miles.
11.) Family is VERY important to you!
flickr/Jason Nelms You may have many people in your life, but you won’t find a single person who cares more about you than your family. Family is EVERYTHING!
12.) You enjoy small-town living.
flickr/Emmett Tullos There are many small towns located throughout Alabama. Even Birmingham, the largest city by population, is much smaller than many large cities in other states.
