Dallas it is!

So a lot has happened in a month. We thought we were moving to Guam, which filled us with both happiness and anxiety. Dave had an offer of employment from the University of Guam, which we were prepared to take, and then he got calls from Clayton State University in Georgia, and the University of North Texas, Dallas for interviews. We both felt like he should do the interviews to keep all our options open, so he went to Texas and Georgia to interview. Last week, he got offers of employment from both of them. Now, it was decision time.
We weighed all of our options, and tried to take into account all sorts of things, and we made our decision this weekend. We are going to Dallas, Texas. YAY!
Now we will all have to grow big hair (and a big mustache for Dave), wear cowboy boots, and become fans of the Dallas Cowboys. Because everything is bigger in Texas.

Happy Father's Day and Anniversary to my love...

Dave is the best husband and father I could ever imagine or hope for. I love him with all my heart, and can't believe that we have been married for thirteen years! He is such a great man, and such an awesome dad to our girls. There is nobody in this world like him. I am so glad I get to be on this adventure with him... and look forward to being with him forever.
Today is our anniversary and Father's day, and Dave is not here. He is on his way to Atlanta, GA for an interview with a university there. I know he would be here if he could, and we miss him...
He is such a hard worker, and has always provided for our family so that I could stay home with our children. He is loyal and true, brave and strong, and my hero. I love him.

School's out!

Since school has been out, we have been keeping busy with lots of things, and I haven't been keeping up on my blog. So, here is one "catch up" post.
Ciera and Chloe both ran in their school's "Wildcat Run" at the end of the school year. It is a one mile run that the kids are encouraged to train for, and then compete in with their grades. I ran with both of them (Chloe's grade ran first, then I got to rest while the next grade ran, then I ran with Ciera), and I had a really great time! They both ran the whole mile... which they had not done before. I was very proud of them. At the end of the mile, I told both of them to sprint to the finish line. Ciera had to race another girl right up to the line (and Ciera beat her...), but Chloe left me in the dust at the finish. They both came in at right around 10 minutes, which I thought was FANTASTIC!
