Texas or bust

Well, it looks like after about 3 years of putting it off, we are moving to Texas.  It is with a little excitement (at the thought of being able to afford and enjoy life a little) a little trepidation (I have never been to Texas and Jake isn't really a fan of the state... plus we are Skins fans to the core!) and with great and deep sadness (leaving our homes, families, church, friends, support systems) that we go.  Thankfully, Jake will continue working for Rackspace, a company we both love and believe in.  Rackspace and Rackers (all of the employees that work for Rackspace) have been such a blessing to us.  In our many times of need they are always quick to step up to help.  We know that although we are leaving so much behind we will be well cared for within the Rackspace community.
I am not sure what else to say right now, mostly because I am getting sad and weepy as I write this.  I would ask for your prayers though.  Please please pray that we are able to find all of the doctors and therapist Justin and the twins will need.  Pray that they are local and above all pray that they are THE BEST!  We have not always had the best of luck with doctors and we have finally found ones that we are happy with here.  Starting over in this way stinks!  Here is a list of doctors and therapists to pray for.

Pediatrician
Neurologist
Physiatris
Pediatric Orthopedist
Ophthamologist
Orthotics (as well as a company that provides DMO suits)
Physical therapist
Occupational therapist
Hippo therapy (horse back riding, should be easy in TX, I hope!)
Please also pray that we are able to quickly apply and receive medicaid for Justin.  We have to reapply because we are moving to a new state
Please also pray that we would find a new aid. A wonderful, loving, hard working person who is there to push Justin, to help him grow and develop and to love him.  We haven't always had the best luck here and we have had a revolving door of help.  Pray that this person would be with us for years to come if possible.

Thank you for your love and support.  If any of you know anything about the San Antonio area or Austin please feel free to share your thoughts.  Thankfully we do have some friend in San Antonio and they are helping us with many of the steps we are taking.



PS - if you are in the market to pray for a miracle to keep us here please do! We truly would LOVE to be able to stay here, but financially it's just not possible.
