Here's the story:
Mom and dad came for Christmas. When they stepped on the plane they figured they would have a nice visit, go back to Fort Worth, Dad would work for three more years and they would continue to visit when they could... By the time they left Myrtle Beach plans had changed!
Dad went back to Lockheed and told them he was retiring... THURSDAY will be his LAST day! Isn't that crazy! He won't go on another trip to Europe! He is SO excited... so is mom... so am I!
So as of now this is brand new beauty is the house they have a contract on but if this falls through they will still buy in our neighborhood, either build or buy another house. The plan is to try and sell their house and they hope to be here by May. Who knows... PLEASE pray they sell their house quickly!
Did I mention their house in on our same street!!?? Yes, it is about a mile and a half away but will soon be closer once they finish the neighborhood (they have not finished the big loop our street will make).
They are bringing this precious little new member of the family with them!
This is going to be a HUGE blessing to our family. I really have to start working full time and I feel so blessed that my children will be cared for by their Gammy and Gandaddy. We are also excited about them being involved with Wellspring. They will be a huge asset to our church plant. Dad is excited about making the kids breakfast before school!
So, PRAY for them as they make this HUGE transition. They are excited but there is a LOT to do. You know how moving is... plus trying to sell a house on top of that. It is going to be hard for them to leave all their wonderful friends in Texas too, but selfishly I cannot wait for them to get here!
Oh, and on a side note, my parents came to Myrtle Beach on their honeymoon 38 years ago. The Jamaican is still standing! They never came back to Myrtle Beach until this trip... and they bought a house!
Mom, stop reading this blog and start packing! :)
** Yes, TJ is excited about this move!

How exciting!! I'm jealous- I want to live near my parents!! :) I know y'all are going to have a wonderful time being neighbors!!
This is SO fun! Living down the street from your parents - that is only a dream! - and going to be amazing for yall and them. So wonderful that they'll have so much access to the kiddos. I bet TJ's parents are just a little jealous. :)
Beth,
Sally here,signed in under Emily because I can't remember my blog account. :) Well now I am VERY jealous of Barb! But congrats to Bill and Barb for embracing change and digging deeper into a new challenge. Who says only the young can be spontaneous...ha..our generation was always about living in the moment. It will be nice to be able to see you all if we visit the area. I know it distressed Emily to think she would not see your mother if she visited. Enjoy the encouragement and wisdom of your mother and father's presence in your life. I will miss you when I visit SF next month. Love, Sally
