T-minus 2 weeks to Texas!!



Two weeks from tonight (Monday) - we will officially be in the Lone Star state!! We have rented one of the green/gold/silver trucks many of you have probably seen on the road from ABF, a moving company where we load and unload the truck, but they drive it down for us. They were quite a bit cheaper than a U-Haul, and we didn't have to figure out how to get both cars, and a truck loaded with our things down there! We'll receive our trailer on Wednesday, July 16th (Happy Birthday Chas!) - and will be loading it up on Saturday, July 19th! We would hate for anyone to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience...so if you'd like to help us load - come on over! :-) (we'll feed you!)

Depending on how quickly loading the trailer goes, we will either leave Indiana on Saturday afternoon or early Sunday morning - making our arrival into Corpus Christi on Monday! We are so excited!!! God has just orchestrated everything so perfectly with both houses. We will close on our Indiana house this Wednesday!! Pray that everything with this closing goes well, and that the buyers will pull together everything they need to for a smooth closing! We will likely close on our Texas house on July 21st or 22nd - we'll keep you posted on that one!

Dan's job search has kicked into high gear. He has two interviews scheduled in the next couple of weeks!! The first is at the school I will be teaching at (Texas A&M-Kingsville) and is a sports information director position. The other is at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and is an assistant athletic director position. Both jobs were on the top of his list - and we are confident God is pulling everything together even now! We'll be sure to keep you posted on this - please keep praying that these doors will continue to open up, and that Dan will be sensitive to the Spirit's leading as he begins making decisions!

As always - thank you so much for your prayer and support through this process!

  1. Have fun packing and loading, always has been one of my least favorite jobs. If you all decide you need to stop for a break, want to meet for a bite to eat, or want to catch a few hours to snooze, just give us a shout. We're 2 hrs 45 minutes due north of Corpus right off of I-35 (30 miles northeast of San Antonio). Home phone 210-248-9318, Ray's cell: 210-314-0708, Robin's cell: 210-314-0709. Take care and God bless the two of you on your travels. I've driven that stretch three times and the only rough stretch is the interstate between Little Rock and Memphis (lots of bumps and pot holes).
