The kids will adjust beautifully...kids are really reisilant...but I know how much you will miss Houston, and we will miss you too. Don't forget God is wherever you are...you are a wonderful homemaker, and your new place will feel like home in no time!

Only know that our prayers go out to you guys.<br /><br />As for Corpus Christi.....both my parents are from that area, as are most of my relatives. I am pretty familiar with it. What parish are you going to be attending? You are going to have a lot of neat Catholic opportunities! <br /><br />You will have to be sure and visit Our Lady of Corpus Christi for Mass ;-) It is beautimous! So is the Cathedral. Another parish of interest to me....St. Patrick's off Alameda. That's where I was baptized. Also, St. Pius X church/school. My aunt is the principal there. I think there's a decent Catholic bookstore there, too, but nothing like Veritas in Houston. <br /><br />Here's a link to the chapel at OL Corpus Christi. <br />http://ourladyofcc.org/modules/content/index.php?id=22<br /><br />Other neato things: the aircraft carrier, beaches, crabbing, Water Street Oyster Bar, the original Whataburger, Cathedral Midnight Mass pageant, the Pink Nuns (Sisters of The Adoration), and lots more. You will find that it will be an exciting time to experience new things, new people, and spread your light to souls that may need to see Christ's grace working in others.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623178558385901138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-50076809475330792992011-08-01T16:31:20.945-05:002011-08-01T16:31:20.945-05:00Oh Blair...I so know how you feel.

We went through all of these same feelings ...Blair-<br />We went through all of these same feelings when we had to relocate overseas. I thought there was no better place on earth than Iowa. Then, after three years now my heart is stuck in Luxembourg and I can't believe we don't live there anymore. <br />We obviously had no family or friends when we arrived in Luxembourg. You guys seem way more social than us, so you will probably have friends very quickly! But, we didn't and used this time to really just focus on our little family and loved it. We traveled around Europe, hung out, were involved in no activities, and basically just really enjoyed our time to grow together.<br />Moving is hard but good in so many ways. <br />It's interesting how you thought this was your permanent location. I wonder if we'll ever get to the point where I can even begin to speculate that. It used to be one of my goals to feel settled forever. But, now I tell Paul I want to go back overseas again! <br />You are blessed to have the homeschooling for your kids because that will remain stable in their lives. Plus, I am amazed that you already found a homeschooling community there. I have yet to even meet one live person who homeschools here! Again, probably because you are a lot more social than me. ;)<br /><br />I will be thinking of you a ton in the coming months.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168808776950608457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-10083538891237327472011-08-01T10:56:31.062-05:002011-08-01T10:56:31.062-05:00Oh, Blair!

I'm sure God has a reason for moving y'all to C city. You are going to touch someone's life and someone is going to touch yours. Your kids are young enough that they will adjust and make friends and be ok. We'll go visit y'all as soon as you're settled in so you can see familiar faces. Praying for a smooth transition.Lillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786208385769454607noreply@blogger.com
