Good-bye Houston! Ft. Worth-Here We Come!!

Life has been such a whirlwind this summer that many of our friends don't even know we've moved. In April Brian got a contract-to-hire postition with Textron (Bell Helicopter) in Ft. Worth. He move up here and commuted home on the weekends. Right before school began his position was made full time. At the very last minute, we found a home and moved up without even getting a chance to say good-bye. We will be coming home often since our home is on the market in Houston (unless any of you have friends who need to buy a home). Part of me doesn't want to say good-bye because I'm not a big public cryer. Over the last 10 years we've made so many good friends that are like family. We couldn't have asked for a better place to live during that time in our lives. It was just what we needed as we began our family. If everything works out we'll move into a new home in Roanoke Tx (north of Ft. Worth) within a month. We love the town. It's small, warm and friendly. Brian's work is only 8 minutes away! We'll be 10 minutes from Shayne and Jen! Although we'll miss our family and friends, we feel good about this change. In the past, we've always been blessed when we've followed the Lord's will. With such a difficult summer, we've also learned the importance of being together as an entire family.

Wow Sherrie,
We really miss you guys. I can't believe you guys moved. I guess in the past year the Spring Creek ward really lost many family because of job transfers. Your children are so beautiful. I can't believe they have grown so much. Thank you for adding us to your blog. Maybe we all con communicate more often and see what our families are up to. We are up to West Virginia for now.
