Happy Memorial Day! We spent the weekend in Dallas visiting with the Melty Family. Chase was such a joy the whole weekend. He smiles, coo's and laughs all the time now.
Our little guy is 11 weeks old today and we can't believe how much he has changed in such a short time. He is so alert and loves to see what is going on around him at all times. He started sleeping through the night (on most nights) a few weeks ago. He usually goes down around 8 pm after his bath and night time feeding and wakes up around 6 am. He started daycare 2 weeks ago and seems to enjoy it, it is harder on me than it is on him :) It is easier dropping him off now knowing it is only for a few more weeks.... which leads me to our next life changing event.
We are moving to Houston! We originally moved to Austin last June when Chris was contracting for Dell, knowing it might not be long term we decided not to buy a house but rather rent an apartment just in case things didn't work out, which in Dell's case they did not. Chris has been contracting for Bank of America since September and has really grown to enjoy his work and the people he works with via phone each day. He accepted a full time position last week, which in this economy is a true blessing. Chris will be the Assistant Vice President of Voice Application Technology Services (VATS). The great thing about his position is that he has the ability to live anywhere since he works from home. We had talked about staying in Austin since we love the city and activites it has to offer but struggled with planting roots here since our families are in Dallas and Houston and we feel as if we are traveling to one city or another every free weekend. We weren't exactly house hunting but came across a house in Chris' parents subdivision a few weeks ago which we feel in love with. After a stressful week of negociations with the bank and a close call with another bidder the house is ours. We are set to close the 19th of June so please keep us in your prayers. It is a foreclosure and needs a bit of TLC but we are up for the challenge. After living in an apartment for a year and accumilating tons of baby stuff we are very ready to be back in a house.
We truly feel blessed and pray we are following the path God has laid out for us. We know we serve an amazing God who answers prayers.
