So, now that we have moved, it is interesting that as we meet many new people our age and in our stage of life, we are still the minority when it comes to still being DINKs (Dual Income No Kids). I have found out over the last month that more people I know are pregnant, specifically my roomates. I am so happy for them, but I still find myself (and Jason for that matter) just not ready for that BIG step. As Jason and I go through many changes in our lives, I hope that we will continue to be content in each other and where we are currently. Sometimes, I get caught up in the "what is coming next?" train of thought and forget to appreciate all that God is allowing me to experience and be in the here and now. I have grown up always preparing for the next big thing, but not really enjoying the journey along the way. I strive to now take each day, get accomplished what I can, but revel in the joy of the life that God is giving me, not knowing how long I have to appreciate this place and this time. So for an update on our lives....
Jason is loving his new position and all that he is learning. He loves figuring out these new problems as he works with new website material. We both are loving Texas. The weather is not much different than South Carolina, except that we get enough rain to not worry about drought restrictions. It is a little more humid and just a slight bit hotter, but not unbearable. The one thing that is really different is how flat the land looks. You see a traffic light ahead, but you really don't need to slow down for that red light because by the time you get there, it could be green.
As many of you know, I had a less than stellar year last year and I am enjoying a life of less stress right now. I am not really sure what I am going to be doing for the long haul but I trust that God has it all figured out. I was working at Barnes and Noble but we decided that the weekend time apart from each other is not really what we want for our marriage. So...on to something different. We are looking to get involved in a church and hang out with people to get to know the area.
Tilly and Evee are doing great too. They love laying around, playing outside, swimming, and being cuddled by every new human they meet. Right now, though, then need baths and Tilly really needs some quality time with the razor.
Please post something back here so I know if you are reading this or if I am just writing to myself. Have a great day!
This is about 10 pm on the night we drove in...little did we know about an hour later, the entire freeway was closed. What a day!
This is Madison Webb, who is one of my new "favorite friends", as she puts it. We went to Galveston one afternoon and spent the day on the "beach." It was not Myrtle but it was also not a 5 hour drive either!
This is the reason we decided to move to Texas, the Webb Family. Brain (who Jason works with) and Kitty and their kids, Austin, Alex, Madison, and Zoe (Tilly's and Evee's new friend dog)
