A year already, can you believe it!! At times I find it hard to believe that it has been a year cause it feels like just a few months have passed by. Yet when I think about all that we have gone through this past year it seems like it should be years since we moved here.
This past year has defiantly been eventful. We moved to Texas, Mark got a new job (reason for moving), bought a house, survived a hurricane, had a baby and had another job change. Just a couple of things. When we think of Jersey and all we left behind we can't help but be saddened. However, we prayed about this move for a while and this is where God wants us. Even after moving here and things not turning out the way we thought with Mark's job we turned to God in prayer. We looked for doors to open for us to come back to Jersey but He kept those doors closed and opened more here in Texas. So this we are certain, He wants us here.
Thankfully we have bought a house in a great community with awesome neighbors!! We would be so lost with out them. They have helped us out in so many ways. Between just everyday questions, to what to do during a hurricane, and so much help with Grace. Mark and I are so glad that we have such great neighbors to share Gracie's milestones with. Undoubtedly we wish family could be close to share those with us but are neighbors are quickly becoming "family" in our eyes.
We have also found a great church!! It took some time but God directed us on where to go and placed us in an awesome church. We are starting to become more involved with the church through volunteering and joining a small group. I have also started going to a Moms Club and Community Bible Study. Through both of those I am meeting such wonderful people.
To summarize, we are still working on getting settled but are starting to put roots down here in Texas. Of course, we both miss Jersey dearly and if God gave us the green light would move back in a heart beat! For now, we are here and just pray that we are walking in the path God wants us.
Also on a quick side note, thank you to all of you who have come to visit us through this past year. We loved every minute of it and would love to have you back this year as well as any one else that wants to come visit Texas. We love having company!!!
Chapter 1 closed, Chapter 2 is just starting and I can not wait to see what is in store for us this year!!

Hi Huavy family,
Texas and in particular Houston is a great place to be and the people is warm and caring. Of course Jersey will always be home for you, but like you said it is here where God wants you to be. The same happened to me, i came just for a couple years, but I am sure today that it is here where God wants me to be. I am glad that the baby is doing alot better, and she is really precious, i just hope we can come and visit sometime soon.
Your always friend, Josie,
PS: I am so glad that Mark is happy with his new job.
Sorry, Husby family (clerical typo) hahaha
Wow that year did go fast didn't it? It seems like just yesterday when your Mom took off work to help with the move. And God does work in mysterious ways we just need to listen and He will lead us in the right direction. Sounds like the roots are going in but if the need arises you can follow wherever God leads you.
