Coming to a close

Well, we're close to two months until we leave Texas. Our time here has flown by (which everyone told me it would). Its hard to believe! While we're so excited to be back in Knoxville, I'm sad to be leaving our friends we've met here. It would be so nice if we could corral all our favorite people into a close proximity to us but that's not the way God has made life, is it? Our friends here have some fun adventures ahead of them and I'm so excited to hear about them!

But, in the next few months we still have some exciting things happening! In September we have a trip planned to Austin where we'll meet my grandparents and tour some of the hill country. We're excited to see them! Then all the excitement of packing will begin (woo hoo!). Can you tell I'm not excited about that? Adam will graduate and then we'll begin our journey home.

But until then, I'll keep posting!

Farmer Dan

So fun to see Judah really starting to play. He gets so excited!

Rain!

We're so thankful we got some rain last weekend. We have been having a really bad drought here for a while. I figure you know you've been experiencing a bad drought when you take pictures of the storm as its rolling in. Last Thursday night it was so beautiful. We just watched the storm in the distance on our back porch for a while. Honestly its the first time in a long while we've been able to sit on our porch in the evening and not be sweating bullets! Saturday it rained pretty much all day. Which led to pretty significant flash flooding around town. We are the dummies who got out that day and were driving around in the crazy weather. We're so thankful for the rain, but we're still praying for more!

Tara!

We were so excited to have Tara come visit with us! Having her here really made it real to me that life is still going on in Knoxville. Some parts of that realization were sad, but it mainly made me excited to get back!

There's not a whole lot to do in San Angelo, but we tried to give Tara an idea of what our life is like here. We shopped downtown, went to church, and on her last day we just drove out into the Texas wilderness. I wanted her to get an idea of what West Texas is like and I think she did :). Here's a few pictures!
