college station bound

well, we're moving to Aggieland. Ben has taken a job with the A&M Foundation and it starts in less than 2 weeks! It's such a testament of what God can do!! On the same day that Ben thought he getting his severance (he works for AIG), he was signing a new job contract with A&M instead (which has been in the works for 4 months!) God is always faithful! And I'm so excited about what He has in store for us. 
At the same time, I'm so very sad to leave everything that we know and love in Houston. Family, friends, church, neighbors, Chuys... (Yes, Chuys comes in at number 5). I could go on. It's been a roller-coaster of a week, to say the least. Lots of anticipation, lots of stress and lots of tears. Please keep us in your prayers during this time of transition. 
Addi & I made a sign for Ben, once learning of the news.

Addi is as precious as ever in that last picture, looks like she had a good time :) We are so excited to come visit you in Aggieland! Hang in there with the transition, you'll be in our prayers. I know several young families who live in CS so I will have to give you their emails and it seems like there is a lot for kids in the area now, it will be home sweet home before you know it! Congrats to Ben!!!
