I don't know where I'm going to go with this post, so I'll start with just facts.
I can finally make the big announcement: we are moving to Lubbock.
This all started a little over a month ago. Jeff began interviewing with a company for a position in West Texas. He got the job, we put our house on the market, it sold, we bought a new house in Lubbock, and we are moving there next week!
There have been so many "signs" along the way of this process, that I'm sure this is the right move for our family, but I'd be lying if I said I was ready to leave our home, family, friends, church, neighbors, and schools. Because I'm not. And, the fact is, we have a good happy life here. Why mess with that?
But, in my head I do think this is a good move for us, and once we actually move and get settled, I'm sure I will embrace the change.
Plus, up to this point things have fallen into place fairly seemlessly (huge knock on wood!!). Jeff's interviews went great, we put our house on the market and sold it in TWO DAYS and got our asking price, we were able to find a house in Lubbock after one day of house hunting, and my employer offered to let me keep my job and work full-time from home. We still have to secure a daycare/preschool for Korley, but I have some recommendations and am working on that issue.
Anyway, just wanted to get that announcement out there. And, warning!--my next few posts well probably be Debbie Downer-ish as I tribute everything here that I will miss!

WE WILL MISS YOU ALL!!! But, I am so excited to have friends to see in Lubbock when we visit Brent's mom. :) And, I agree with you, it seems it is where y'all are supposed to be. We'll still miss you.
Oh my goodness! What an exciting announcement! I know the move will be bittersweet. Hope all goes well in the coming weeks!
Congratulations Courtney. Matt is really excited for Jeff and the opportunity he has. I think he will really enjoy it... and back to Raiderland... that can't be all bad. (Still wish you guys could have moved to ABILENE!!)
Wow, you've been busy! Hope everything with the move and settling goes smoothly.
Wow! I wish you were moving to Abilene:) I have only heard wonderful things about Lubbock and we have several friends who live there. There are a lot of wonderful churches there too.
Reading your post brought back so many memories of where I was about 2 1/2 years ago. We prayed for months after Cary got a wonderful opportunity here and I kept seeing signs from the Lord that it was the right decision even though I did not want to see them. I had to keep telling myself that we had to do what was best for our family which was living in a smaller town and having more time as a family instead of time in the car trying to get somewhere all the time. It did not help that Campbell was only 6 months old when we moved. I left some wonderful friends and a wonderful church in Dallas but we still keep in touch and in some ways I think it made our friendships even better. We have made some wonderful friends here that bless us daily and I have never regretted our decision. I may not have always liked it in the beginning:) You will be in my prayers because I have been there and know all too well the emotions you are going through. May you be blessed beyond measure as you begin your new journey. Sorry for the novel:) If you ever need to talk Leslie M. has my number, we still need to get the girls together when you are in A-town.
Congratulations! That's a lot of change in a short period of time, but I'm sure it'll all work out for the best. How is Landry taking it??
