On the Road Again

I am not a Willie Nelson fan. I worked at Billy Bob's for a summer ushering at concerts. I almost fell asleep during his concert. But that's not really what this is about.

We're moving to Texas!! I am so excited about this new chapter. I am also scared beyond belief. We have to pack up our stuff, figure out what to do with our house, and a million other things before we leave. When we get there, where are we going to go? Ahhhh!!

Hubby had promised my mom that when the big girl was five, we would move to Texas. We moved alright. But we moved about 35 minutes away from where we were living. We love where we live. It is a pretty rural community. "Downtown" consists of two buildings at the intersection with the light. We didn't have high speed internet until about 3 weeks ago. It takes us about 20 minutes to get to town. Love that my kids can run and play and that they have lots of room. Not exactly Texas, though. It was even in the wrong direction. We went east.

Hubby has been applying for jobs in Texas off and on for a while now. Interviews would happen, but then nothing. This time, it worked. It was kind of a shock at first. I think I'm still in shock. I know I have mixed feelings. I will miss our friends. I have amazing friends. We will miss park day. Park mamas rule!! We will miss our church. All the kids at youth. Then there's co-op and dance.

But, I am excited to be closer to my mom and sister. We would have liked to be a little closer, but I will take what I can get for now, that's for sure. I am excited about getting to know my nieces better. I am excited about seeing some of my Texas peeps!! I am excited about real TexMex.

There is much to do, lists to make, items to cross off, and more praying than I've ever done in my life, I think. Please join us in prayer. We need all the help we can get.

Have a great day
