BIG News from Our Little Family!

Our "little" family is so very blessed! We have a wonderful marriage, an adorable fuzz-ball of a puppy, and great friends. And pretty soon, we will be moving our little family into our very own house! Wow!

Yes, our move is officially official! This fall, Brandon will start his doctorate in music at the University of North Texas and I will be the new music teacher at Burks Elementary in McKinney (just down the road). To put the icing on that cake - on Monday, Brandon and I signed a contract on our very first home! If all goes well, we will be closing on July 1 and moving to 9132 Greene Drive, Providence Village, TX (just east of Denton) on July 6!! It is the most beautiful house and I cannot even begin to say how excited, humbled, and even a little overwhelmed I am about all of this! Pretty much all I can say is God is good!

Here are a few pictures. The rest you can view from my Facebook album, here.

Visiting Denton

This weekend, we made our second trip to Denton for Brandon to get a lesson with the horn prof at UNT. He drove up here Thursday afternoon and spent Friday playing horn and sitting in on a few classes with his friend Ben. I flew in after work last night and we had some amazing sushi at a place in Southlake with Ben and his fiancee. We should be driving back sometime tomorrow.

It's looking more and more certain that we'll be moving to the area sometime this summer. Everything at UNT looks promising. Now if we can just find a job for me (as close to UNT as possible). I'm in the process of submitting a bajillion online applications for the Denton ISD and surrounding districts. Here's hoping for some bites!
