Moving to Houston

Wow, sorry it has been so long since my last posting spree. The truth is, to use the standard excuse, I haven't had any time. But I do have exciting news.

First of all, I want to announce that in less than two months, my soon-to-be wife and I will be moving to the Houston, TX area. I timed the blog announcement to correspond with the formal announcement of my job transfer within the company in which I work (TI). We also recently submitted an offer on a house in Sugar Land, and after some negotiation, our offer was accepted, and so now we enter the critical period. It's all very new for us, so we are doing what we can! Please pray for us!

We are very excited about the move. Speaking for myself, after having been a Californian for the last 19 years, I know that I will miss California. I know that I will miss being involved in ministry with my community and local church. I am looking forward to new career opportunities and opportunities for ministry, as God directs. Please pray that we are open to new challenges.

Moving to the South is somewhat of a homecoming for me -- I'm originally from Alabama and have family scattered throughout the South. However, it will be a huge change for my fiancee, Christina, because she is 100% California born-and-raised.

And we will not forget the Santa Maria tri-tip. Never, never ever ever!
