Where do I begin? This has been a crazy month. First, Keith (Alan's dad) was diagnosed with colon cancer and had a successful surgery to have the tumor removed, then Alan went to Northwest Arkansas to interview for a job, and then we were blessed with the sweetest and prettiest little niece ever from Kyri and Jeff.
We were supposed to have to wait until the end of the month to find out about the job, but they contacted Alan a little over a week ago and offered him a position to start October 6. We have talked about it and this is a great opportunity for our family and we just can't pass it up. Of course, we will be leaving my family here in Dallas and are really sad about that. We see each other so much and my parents really help out with the kids on the weekend so Alan and I can have some alone time. The good news is that we will gain lots of cousins and 2nd cousins in Arkansas and are hopeful that the healthcare and education system are closer to what we envision for helping Riley.
Please pray for our family and that we are doing the best thing for us and that we will have a successful move. Also, pray for my family as they cope with not seeing us each week. I don't know, it might be a HUGE relief for them! :) Lastly, pray for Keith and that they are able to control the cancer with treatments.
Thank you so much for supporting us in all we do! :)
Not to give away where Alan got a job but let's just say that I am going to have to say "Au Revoir" to my favorite store that starts and ends with a "T"!!
tomorrow
Tomorrow we start back to school. UGH! I don't wanna go back just yet but I know that my body and mind will feel better once I get back....

Kylie got a gift from Meemaw and Peepaw, too. This is how we roll in our family- no one gets left out. Keith loves to watch Mike Huckabee... -
Update: I am laughing at 2 things! 1. I had to grab a pic off the internet of a dining room that looks similar to my mom's since I didn...

Congratulations!! That is so great! Y'all will probably LOVE NW AR! My brother lives there (Springdale) and loves it. We love visiting him b/c it's so pretty there. Y'all will be moving at a great time b/c the leaves should be changing shortly after you get there--it's the prettiest time of the year.
