residency....

its official...texas will be our new home starting june 20th, we'll be there for at least 3yrs as spence starts residency the final step in becoming a doctor.  he will be working for a major hospital Scott & White in TEMPLE texas which is about 20min south of waco, and an hr north of austin.

Spence is thrilled, as it was his number one choice 
and to actually get placed in your first choice spot is rare.  
I of course am a little selfish because i'm already gloomy with the thought that we'll be moving away again.
it has been so nice being around family, especially now that we have kids, there really isn't anything better than grandma and pappy and all their cousins. 
the good news is that instead of 37hr away from manda now we will be 16hrs away
but now we will be 25hr away from jo....which makes me nervous because i'm such a family person...
but we have done it before so we will have to do it again....
so i'm 60% excited 40% sad.  and each day seems to flip flop.

i never thought i would be a texan...but lets bring it on.  the girls already have their cowboy boots ready and i'm sure they will love it.

who can't love texas when the state mammal is an armadillo!



i made a little candy-gram for spence....to show him we are excited for him....its the least i could do!

now the house renting starts so if anyone has any great ideas on where to live in temple texas let us know!

congratulations!!! That's wonderful news! I bet you will love your new adventures in Texas - how awesome! What type of residency is he doing?

Congrats! That is exciting. They say everything is bigger in Texas so this means you'll be renting a mansion! Seriously though the cost of living is less there and that is a bonus. Excited to see what you think of the South. After we got used to Alabama we love it. Such an exciting step for your family and to all live under one roof, full time again will be fabulous:)
