New Blog, New Job, New Home!

Wow, things have changed a lot for the Texas Burninghams in the last few weeks. We have a new blog, a new job, and a new home.

Why a new blog...this one is lower maintenance for me and it frees up space for Tim's website.

New Job: Tim accepted a position with Ensign Facility Services to run a Nursing and Rehab Center for them. Right now he is putting in his hours to get his license. Should take about 6 months. He is excited at this new and challenging opportunity.

New Home: We have left Harlingen, and we now live in an apt in San Antonio for the time being. Once Tim is licensed he will have his own facility to run which will be in......we don't know yet. Hopefully it won't be too long before we will know.

Wow this was our 7th move in 6 1/2 years of marriage. However this one was probably the hardest, as we had lived in Harlingen twice and had spent about 3 years of our married life there.
So here's my list of things I will miss from Harlingen...No particular order.

1. Wearing sandals year round.
2. Never being cold...hmmm never wore a jacket, actually I don't think last year I even wore a long sleeve shirt.
3. Palm trees, felt like I was on vacation all the time..J/K.
4. Rice and charro beans (my favorite) served at every church activity.
5. South Padre Island-The beach
6. Great Friends
7. Going to the grocery store with 3 kids under 5...and people not looking at me like I was crazy even when they were screaming.
8. Everyone calling my daughter mama and my sons papas, then having to come up and touch their blonde hair.
9. Never having to use lotion. Something I didn't realize until we moved and now I'm putting it on like crazy all the time.
10. The simplest, kindest people I have ever met who love to laugh.
11. Going through the checkpoint and smiling when we would answer, "yes, we are all US citizens" and somehow feeling like we lived abroad.
12. The best Tomales you have ever tasted!
