New state, New town, New church, New friends, now..NEW JOB...

Haley was hired last Monday as the new 3rd grade teacher at Bovina ISD. Bovina is in Texas about 20 minutes from Clovis. It has a huge cow farm right next to it that smells splendid! I have 15 students in all and they are all very sweet and smart. Pray for me as I start my first real teaching job. My goal: to make it through the year and all my kids pass the TAKS test and the 3rd grade.

TACO BOX

Tyler liked his burritos from a local Clovis taco place called Taco Box. It beats Taco Bell but it's only in Clovis.

Back to Texas for the weekend

We traveled to Groveton, Texas on Sat. and had the chance to spend time with my family. It took us 11 hours to get home. We enjoyed our family.

Mudfest 07

We had a back-to-school event for Fuel called Mudfest and things got pretty muddy.

Clovis, New Mexico

We arrived in Clovis in mid July and are loving being here. Tyler was hired as the Student Minister at Central Baptist church. I will substitute teach till a teaching job comes available. We are very thankful for our new church family and friends. We recently drove to Austin for a wedding Tyler was in and got to spend some time with our family: Blake (Tyler's older brother), Brooke (Blake's wife and my good childhood friend), and their 16 month old son Hudson. One of Tyler's best friends, Will was also there with his girlfriend, Alyssa. We had such a great time with them.
