Big News!

Most readers of this blog probably already know this or have at least heard a rumor about it -- and once you know it and all that goes with it, you will know why I have neglected the blog world for the last several weeks.

We are moving to Dallas -- actually Irving. David got a promotion with Atmos (he doesn't like to toot his own horn, but since that's my job, he was promoted to VP of Rates & Regulatory Services -- I'm pretty proud).

This was a hard decision to come to (and continues to be a hard one to live out), but after seeking much council and after several members of our ComGroup agreeing to move with us, we are going. That's right, our ComGroup had been planning to plant a church here in College Station as a part of ComChurch, but when this opportunity came up, several of them said that maybe this church plant thing was supposed to happen in Dallas and so they are coming too. (Right now, I'm imagining Sherry's face -- priceless I'm sure).

We have found an area that is about 20 min. from David's office and also has a dual language program where Samuel can continue learning Spanish. Now we're just looking for the perfect house in that area. It's a relatively stressful process. And we've already made several trips up there to look at houses. But we're feeling pretty peaceful about the fact that the Lord already has the house and the neighbors picked out. It's like a really big scavenger hunt. :)

So, sometime before the end of the year, we are planning to be moving North. Our plan is to have a house big enough where people can come stay with us, and since everyone has a reason to visit Dallas at some point, please let our house be the place you choose to lay your head at night while you're there.
