Another Chapter in Hooverville to a Close



It seems like our chapter in South Texas is coming to a end.  We close on our house here in South Texas on Friday the 18th.  God has blessed Jason with an incredible opportunity at the home office of his company in Franklin.  I am so proud and happy for him & for moving our family forward.  He deserves it.  Texas has been a new experience.  I swear this place should be it's on country because it's way of thinking and it's laws are so far different than that of Arkansas and Tennessee or any other place I've visited!  STARTING with a "Welcome to Texas Tax, now give us 200.00 for each person in your family"...  YIKES, glad we weren't Catholic ha ha, but my favorite law is how you drive 70mph down a two lane road!  It has been a ride.

We have found life long friends and have grown as a family, physically and spiritually.  We came here to get out of high cost living and higher pay.  God has blessed us beyond what we thought though, and we are returning to Franklin with so much more.  We are strongly relying on God.  Especially since we STILL haven't found a rental in the area due to the flood and I haven't found a teaching job as of yet.  It will happen though, and oddly enough I'm not even worried about it.  I know my close friends are in disbelief, but hey, people can change.  We bid farewell to all our friends in Palacios, Church on the Rock, and Lakewood Church Marriage Compass Group.  Our lives have been made richer with you in it.  Thank you
