"HOWDY!" Ben got an incredible job offer last week to be the RUF campus minister to Texas A & M University in College Station/Bryan, Texas! It all happened pretty fast. His phone interview was Thursday, Feb 7 and that night we got the call with the offer! Next thing we knew, we were making plans to fly out to check things out. I don't think I've ever really been to Texas, except through the airport. So this past weekend, we spent three days in Aggieland(yes, they really say 'howdy!' on campus!! It's beautiful!) and one in Dallas with the RUF committee. Our kids stayed in Raymond with my mom, Ashleigh, Anna, and Virginia (THANKS GIRLS!!!). Daniel and Ann helped too. We're very excited about working so closely in ministry with Wade and Marian Coleman, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian in Bryan! There were lots of students at the church. We're going to be undergoing a lot of changes in the next few months (finishing a bathroom, selling a house, buying a house, packing, defining the term "moving" to a three year old, etc) . Ben and I have lived in Mississippi our ENTIRE lives. Ben will be 30 in a few weeks so as you can imagine...this is a huge change!! You can pray for us as we continue to love and minister to the students at Hinds (has it really been 4 years?! ) and prepare to journey in faith in Jesus to Texas A & M!
Nathan loves to wear Hannah's boots! So the day of Ben's interview, Nathan got all dressed up and we emailed this pic to Ben. Maybe we should get him his own pair, what'd ya think?
