San Saba, Texas - GO ARMADILLOS!

Well folks, it's real life now. We are moving to San Saba, Texas! Pecan Capital of the WORLD

With beautiful pecan orchards all around us

with UNLIMITED water! Rivers EVERYWHERE! Seriously, It looks like Colorado.

Who even knew this place existed?!

And their colors are PURPLE (go ACU!) and gold and their mascot is an armadillo! All cool things.

Now here's the story of how this all came to be and how God is SO crazy faithful.

We have been job searching since late February/early March. It has been stressful, to say the least. A lot of wondering, a lot of anxiety, a lot of stress. We would fill out applications, for the both of us (usually about 8 pages or more EACH) stuff them in an envelope and pray over them that God would put them in the right hands and lead us where we need to go. The start of April we started to finally get responses to all the applications and resumes we were sending out. Buuuuuuut we are a package deal so it would usually be that Judson would go in for an interview but they didn't have a job for me or vice versa.

THEN San Saba contacted Judson about coming in for an interview. As always he told them that his wife is an elementary teacher and would need a job too. They responded with a "Awesome! Both of y'all come in for an interview!" WHAT! After our interviews and the warm welcome we received we left knowing/hoping that would be the place for us.

Days went by. Judson got called in for another interview with an excellent school that had no openings for me except for an aid position. Things started to look unfortunate again and I was really sad at the thought of yet another year of not having my own classroom.

Last Tuesday as I was driving to school I began to listen to a worship song (Not For a Moment by Vertical Church Band. LISTEN NOW.) and praying that God would shape my heart to be happy in whatever circumstance He calls me to be in. If it was His will for me to be an aid, then help me keep a positive... *RING RING RING* yes, during this prayer my phone began to ring. Who was it, you ask? SAN SABA. Offering me a full time teaching position for 5th grade math! And the 5th grade is at the middle school. Which is where Judson's teaching position would be for 7th grade (Texas history. Coaching middle school and varsity football, assistant basketball, and the spring sport is still up in the air). WHICH MEANS WE WILL WORK DOWN THE HALL FROM EACH OTHER EVERY SINGLE DAY. MY HUSBAND AND BEST FRIEND. Then, they told me not to give them an answer right now and that they wanted Judson and I to talk about it and PRAY about it, and call them later with an answer. As soon as I hung up the phone I just started crying.

GOD IS SO FAITHFUL, Y'ALL. He cares about our happiness.

We got our sweet little house that was built in the 1930's. It is full of character and horrid wallpaper. We just absolutely love it. 

Even the street name is cute - Storey street.

So we will start the moving a whole house/painting a new house process. Oh, and a quick intermission for our vacation to Las Vegas starting on Sunday until Wednesday. OH, and we haven't even finished THIS school year yet. COME ON FRIDAY.

Here goes nuttin'!
