My wife, Shalyn, has gotten a new job already working at the DTS Library! This is an ideal job for her because it is quiet and stress-free, but also, she loves the library! On top of that, it affords me half tuition every year! That is a super blessing right there!
I am working for a marketing firm and I've spent the last three weeks primarily assisting in the strategic planning of a convention for one of our larger clients. I have been titled "Regional Project Manager" which is more of a glorious title than anything else. Basically, I manage all of the clients that the firm has in the Houston area. It is a major blessing because once I become self-sufficient (i.e. trained), I get to work most of my hours from home, which will free me from terrible commute times in Dallas and allow me to work easily around my school schedule.
Needless to say, it has been a major blessing that Shalyn and I have both found employment shortly after arriving in Texas! Every day that passes, we feel more at home here and we are thanking God daily for how He has provided for us during this turbulent time! I truly feel that He has confirmed His desire for me to study here and I pray that He will bless my studies and that I might be a blessing to those around me.
Not much else has been happening here in Texas, however I have been afforded opportunities to help other entry DTS students with their transition down here. I will be helping a new couple move into their apartment this coming Saturday.
I should make note of HOW HOT IT IS DOWN HERE! Everyone forewarned me that it was going to be hot, but I must have forgotten what it is like to be nearer to the equator! Shortly after our arrival, the weather turned to an average of 100 degrees every day (give or take a few degrees) and it has been rough. To be fair, I am handling it much better than Shalyn, but she really hates the heat. I'd say that this is as hot as it will be, but everyone is warning me that within a month it will be around 115-120 degrees every day! I doubt that I am going to leave the house when this happens! Outrageous. It is especially bad because I have to walk a quarter mile to get to my vehicle that I am boring, which happens to be a giant 15 passenger van with NO AIR CONDITIONING! Try to imagine what it is like to drive down the highway in 100 degree weather with no air. Let me just note that breezes do not help... at all.
Well, this is my life update for the moment!
