I received an offer letter from August Technology yesterday for a position as a Senior Software Engineer at their Plano, Texas research and development facility. I accepted the offer and turned in my resignation at ATS Oregon. I have to be in Texas working in thirty days. We will be very, very busy during that time. I mowed the lawn and talked to a real estate agent last night about selling the house for us. I spoke to Mary Simmons, one of our ministers who is currently working with Spanish speakers in the Dallas area earlier today. She was great. We will probably get to go to a Spanish speaking Sunday morning meeting. Mary acted very happy to hear from us. She knows Martha and Tony, too. We certainly hope we can be a help when we get there.
I am planning to buy a new little pickup to drive to Texas as soon as I finish my time at ATS. Lorena will stay in Oregon with the kids until the house gets sold. Our hope is to be able to sell the house before our Puerto Vallarta vacation in early December so that I can fly up from Texas to fly down to Puerto Vallarta with the family. On return from the vacation, we would all drive down to Texas in the minivan together. If we sell the house fairly quickly, Lorena, Kelly, and Christian would stay with Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah until Puerto Vallarta. It is all in God’s hands, really.
