Goodbye Alaska. . . Hello Texas

We leave Alaska late tonight with very mixed feelings. On one hand we are very excited for the changes to come. I am not sad to leave the weather here for a warmer climate. We have a whole new set of adventures awaiting us. Brian's new job will be very different and and exciting change for him. If all goes according to plan, we will arrive in Houston around noon tomorrow, have a final walk through of our new house at around 3. Thursday the 20th is Brian's first day at his new job, our closing date on the new house, and my birthday.

We are also very sad to leave our life here--the only life we have known as a married couple. We have wonderful friends here in Alaska that have become family to us. I know there will be challenges and many lonely moments in this time of transition. We hope to find a church home and get plugged into the community quickly.
