Hey folks,
well as you might have guessed it time has flown by and the BIG TEXAS MOVE IS BARELY A WEEK AWAY!
ok. try not to panic. seriously. we're doing it enough for you.
to catch you all up Staci and I will be moving to the lovely little town of Frisco, Texas (for now) and will officially leave Thursday, August 13th. my dad & I will be driving a Penske truck with all our worldly possessions (including a niftly 'lil motorcycle in the back), whilst pulling a car hauler trailer with a mustang on top. Staci will follow closely behind, keeping her eyes peeled for gas stations, fast food restraunts, and watching for anything that falls outta the truck. -just kidding people, lighten up. :)
on a more serious tone however we have become increasingly nervous due to the many unforeseen hangups that have come up. instead of giving 2 weeks notice where I work, I gave 5 weeks, placed resumés and transfer requests months ago and have just been told if I don't hear news of a solid job transfer by monday, August 10th, they'll have to begin processing 'departure paperwork'. (Tuesday is our last day) Staci is in more or less the same boat with her job, upper & middle management squabbling about 'who's fault' it is that the transfer process hasn't been fulfilled thus far and yet no real leads or notice have been given her. other little frustrations sprang up as well including, **but not limited to** :
bank accounts having no Texas access, Car insurance not being offered through our current company in Tx, and, no employment = no health/optical/dental insurance.
Seems none of us can escape the wrath of the recession. so many of you are having daily struggles of your own, and hopefully no one is experiencing any severe hardships. thankfully we still have money left over from student loans that will last us several weeks /months. obviously we'd rather not use it if we didn't have to. any prayers in our behalf are appreciated. heaven help us all :/

Good luck! Just take everything a day at a time!
We will be praying for you guys. I remember our move to Texas wasn't very smooth & it seemed like EVERYTHING was against us, even though we had prayed & knew we were doing the right thing. It seemed like nothing was working out the way we had planned it out. And although things happened different than we planned, it worked out we we LOVE it hear. Good luck & hang in their! We can't wait for you guys to get here.
A cousin in Texas? I can hardly believe it! Ya'll come on out! How far is Frisco from Texarkana? You guys are welcome to come up anytime. Good luck on the move.
P.S. This is your cousin, Jileen :)
