Chris has been getting into duck hunting lately, so in addition to having duck decoys stacked in our living room, he was able to go with a friend on a quick hunting trip to Galveston a few weeks ago. He returned with no ducks, but since he never leaves home without a fishing pole, we now have fish to cook. That same weekend we visited PawPaw in Louisiana. Driving all weekend is a trend for us now, as you will see...
The next weekend Katie's Dad took us to the State Fair of Texas. We always love spending the day there together, and aside from a few brief showers, the weather was perfect. No fried butter for us, but we did have some fair staples: corn dog, sausage on a stick, pinapple soft serve. We were sure that by this time we would have bought our new vehicle, but no luck - We are still looking and were able to sit in a couple of our favorites at the Fair's car show. No pictures this year, but here's a picture from last year's trip.
In the job area, we were faced with an incredibly difficult decision, but have made it through. We are staying in Dallas, so it's nice to have some sense of stability. Katie was asked to interview with UTMB, so we are getting closer in that arena as well. Both schools should send out letters in the next few weeks...At this point, we don't even know which we prefer and it looks like we might have to be the ones to pick. There will be much prayerful consideration over the next few weeks.
Finally, Chris' Grandad passed away about a week ago. Although he had been growing more sick the past couple months, it still feels like it happened so quickly. We were blessed to have had the opportunity to spend a lot of time together with him over the past few years, and we will miss him incredibly. It is always nice when we get to take a trip and visit family, but this one we would rather have not had to take. We love you Grandad!
