Our Move to Texas

On Tuesday, August 12th, we left Greenville, South Carolina and started our journey to Arlington, Texas. We arrived in Arlington on Wednesday the 13th and began moving into our apartment the next afternoon.

Dad and Mom Jensen were a huge help during our move. We couldn’t have done it without them! Thanks, Dad and Mom!

(Since we don’t have any photos of all four of us from during the move, here’s one — on the left — from a hike we took in the Pisgah National Forest a few days before we drove to Texas. That’s another story, one that involves 6 miles of walking for a very good lunch on top of a mountain.)

First guests, good food

This week we entertained our first guests, a young couple (also just married this summer) from our church, New Life Bible. They are both UT Arlington students, and each week they spend all day Tuesday and Thursday on campus. So we had them over for dinner on Thursday evening.

Since Amy won’t tell you this, I will: the food was fabulous. We forgot to take photos on Thursday, but we had leftovers for lunch today, and I snapped a photo of the corn, potatoes (thanks, Ruth Bixby, for the recipe) and the chicken wrapped in bacon (thanks, little sister-in-law for that recipe).

Good job, Amy. And thanks for the fine cooking!
