There is an appointed time for everything. And, there is a time for every event under heaven . . . a time to plant and a time to uproot that which is planted . . . (Ecclesiastes 3:1,3)We are moving to Dallas, Texas!
Larry has accepted a wonderful job offer with FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation -- that which protects your money in the bank), and will start work in Dallas on April 12th!
Now, we have a house to sell--please pray for this - Thanks!
Here's a little information on the Dallas area:
"As the saying goes, "everything's big in Texas"… and the quality of life in Dallas is no exception to that rule. The area offers a wide variety of cultural, educational and recreational activities. In fact, the Dallas Arts District is the largest urban district in the US. Shopping venues are plentiful in the area, too, with Dallas Galleria, NorthPark Center, Valleyview Mall and more… along with a host of restaurants with atmospheres ranging from refined to rowdy, bistro to barbecue. Dallas' climate is another amenity to the area, with subtly defined seasons, sunshine and warm weather that allow for outdoor activities all year long, such as those of the various professional and semi-professional sports teams -- Dallas Cowboys' football or the PGA's GTE Byron Nelson Classic golf tournament. Plus, with 50,000 acres of public parkland and more than 60 lakes within a 100-mile radius, the opportunities to participate in the great outdoors seem virtually endless. Families enjoy the area's two Six Flags theme parks, the Dallas Zoo and Medieval Times, as well as down-home entertainment at the annual State Fair of Texas. For tastes that bend toward the fine arts or culinary delights, there's the Dallas Convention Center, Museum of Art, Farmers Market and GrapeFest to explore. It's Dallas' rich blend of cultures that enhances its diversity."

Don't even need to "pack" -- company provides full pack job in relocation package!
Here's hoping we'll see more postings on your blog as you move & get used to a different part of the country. I always loved visiting Louis in Dallas when we were dating, because there are so many options to choose from. We are thrilled for you & Larry that he got this great job!
I am very excited for you in your move.Congradulations,Larry on your new job venture.We love you.
From Sandy
Life goes from one exciting place to another for you. Congrats to Larry for the new job! Wow, that's great you even don't have to pack. Will you purchase or rent for a while? Sorry I didn't write sooner, but things got busy for us. Doug and Stephanie had their baby 2 months early--not in Maryville where they live, but in Nashville--3 hrs awayo--where Stephanie was for the weekend birthday party for her nephew. She started contractions and delivery went very fast. Chloe Grace was 3 lbs. 14 1/2 oz.--17 inches. She had respiratory problems, but all seems to have leveled out. They are trying to transport back to Knoxville Children's Hosp. Doug is in his final 3 weeks of nursing school so lots of tests/finals. Please pray for all of them. Keep us posted on your move progress. Love ya.
