Headed West

God blessed Dan with a great career opportunity and a better balance between work and family life.  Our family is headed west to Midland, Texas.  As we've told people about the move, I have only heard positive things about raising a family in west Texas so we are thrilled to move and give it a try!  We sold our house (by owner in one week for over asking price, praise the Lord!) and quickly moved out at the end of October. A wonderful family bought the house and will love living there.  I showed them pictures of the Bible verses that cover the studs and concrete subsurfaces, and they were blessed to bring their new family together into a home built on God's foundation.


After a long weekend in the Woodlands with Amy's family, I brought the kids to Corpus Christi for two weeks at my parent's house.  Nana and Paca had fireman costumes and a new John Deere riding tractor for us to play with.  My nephew Ryan was also with us for most of the visit.
