Well, we did it! After two years in our newly-wed mobile home (often called "The Love Boat" as it has a history of housing newly-weds) we made the move from Salado to Belton. It's been a fabulous three weeks of unpacking, nesting, a million trips to Target, Lowes, and Home Depot, hours of painting, and taking care of a house that we can officially call "ours." We absolutely love being here and can't thank the Lord enough for blessing us with this gift.
Apart from being blessed with a wonderful new home, Royce and I have also been blessed with two new jobs that we absolutely love! Royce landed a teaching job at Harker Heights High School and is also the new varsity girls soccer coach! His desire to teach stemmed from the desire to coach soccer, so I'm thrilled that he finally has the opportunity! Even though he always imagined himself coaching a boys team, I think coaching girls will equip him for whatever comes next!! :) I, on the other hand, was unable to find a teaching job this year... but two weeks before our move an Instructional Assistant position at Kennedy-Powell Elementary became available. I know without a doubt that God's hand was orchestrating the whole process. The timing was perfect and the school is only 10 minutes away from our new house! Not only does it give me the same schedule and holidays as Royce, but I also get to love on kiddos all day and develop added classroom experience. We're so grateful for our new jobs and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us this year.
Here are a few of the rooms that we won't be painting for a while... (I'll post the painted rooms later.)
