Texas Life!

I have reached my indefinite destination of Tyler, TX!  It will be my new home for the foreseeable future, and it is finally starting to feel like a home and not a vacation spot!  For the past six years, Tyler has been where I would visit my camp friends and have reunions at conferences and such.  Now, I've been hired to host these conferences, and I couldn't be more excited!

Update in a nutshell.

I am now a conference director at my second home, the Pine Cove Ranch.

Creating extreme weekends full of huge games, legit speakers/worship bands, and frequent encounters with Christ for Jr Highers is my full-time job.

I moved in with 5 other dudes in Tyler.  (quite reminiscent of the "man-plex" of my sophomore year)

Jarratt and Jon work for me and are an unstoppable force.

My honda has no air-conditioning.  Yikes.

I'm officially a Bingo addict, and I've only been once.

My friends down here have welcomed me with open arms.


Biggest Differences b/t Lincoln and Tyler:

Weather.  It's quite warmish here.  No a/c in my car = back sweat.  Sick, I know.

Everyone, and I mean everyone uses an iPhone.

Saturdays are not centered around Husker football for everyone.  Just me and Craig.

Cornfields are non-existent.

Sweet tea is a requirement, not an option.

Yes ma'am, yes sir.  All the time.

Tyler: home of the U-turn.
