When I started this blog, the title "Where in Texas am I?" was just a little humorous poke at longing to be home in Texas. At the time I didn't expect it to happen so fast, but I have been offered a job transfer which I accepted, and we will be moving!
My current client contract will end in Q2 '09. We have unfortunately had to eliminate jobs as the work is going away/changing, and ultimately my job will also be eliminated. Back in August I started a project role in addition to my regular duties and have been working on the new UK and US contract for this client. It is substantially different in nature but has been great global experience for me as part of the implementation team.
Shortly before Thanksgiving I was offered the role that will manage the US team ongoing for the new contract, which will require relocating to The Woodlands, TX. Hmmm, long term employment in Texas (see previous post about snow) or no job in June and lingering cold (see previous post about the cold). Let me think about this....
Seriously, it was not a snap decision. Moving a family is not easy, and leaving family and friends is even harder. But we know that God has provided for us. He made it possible for Mike to quit police work, He made it possible for us to keep Holley in a Christian private school for the next year, and He is providing for us now. The chances of me finding work in my field near Wichita, or being able to find a position that would still be able to support our family without Mike going back to full time work are slim and none. We thank God for his generous heart!
The nice thing is that we can move in the spring, which gives us time to fix up the things on the house that need attention and be able to sell it at a better time, and hopefully in a better market. There will be more posts about this as we sort out all the changes in our lives. But for now, know that our friends will always be first in our hearts. Distance will not come between us.
