A Wonderfully Tough Week

Whew! It was a whirlwind, for sure! We left for Dallas on Saturday the 11th, and got in late that night. It was a long trip there, but thankfully, it went without a hitch at all!! No vomit, either!! :) We had Sunday to spend with family, which was wonderful. Time well spent, but it seems that there is never enough time. Then, the busy-ness started! Ethan had several interviews in Texas, and hopefully, a good job offer will come of it. We are so excited for the future and are anxious to know what it holds.

On Sunday night, Ethan and I had dinner with our cool friends, Andy and Shelley. They are a ton of fun...we had good pizza and good laughs...and even got to have a fire outside at their house by the pool. Mmmm...nice. :) Ethan had an interview that lasted all Monday, and then we went to Ft. Worth. We were totally amazed and impressed with the area, the people, the group. It was a fantastic time, and we both really enjoyed it. Wednesday and Thursday and Friday were all equally busy...some things better than others for sure...I don't want to bore anyone with too many details...

BUT, I do want to ask our friends to please pray for us and for the groups that we saw. Pray that we'll end up at the right place for us, for our family, for the group who hires Ethan...that we'll be where we're supposed to be. There are SO many factors...We each are truly excited for what is to come.

And...I DO want to thank our families! We couldn't have done what we did without my sweet Mother-in-law and Father-in-law...they watched the boys for us for what amounted to most of the week! And my parents lent us their car to drive around. My boys are totally spoiled now, which is a fantastic thing. Being spoiled now and again is so important; they can't wait to go back to Grandma's house for more. As soon as we got home he said, "Ok, we'll stay tonight and go back tomorrow, OK?" *sigh* It would be so nice if it were that easy. :) Maybe someday it will be?? Who knows!

Anyway...there's my brain-drain for the day. :) There's a lot rattling around up in there...and we'll keep you guys posted!!

Not nearly as exciting as the trip to Colorado, but perhaps it's just as well. :-)
