From fittest to fattest

Sam has officially accepted a summer internship with Marathon Oil in Houston, Texas. This means that for three months this summer we will be relocating from the fittest area in the country to the fattest. Sam thinks we ought to purchase a deep fat fryer so that we will fit in better in Houston!!

All joking aside, this really is a great opportunity for our family. Marathon is the fourth largest integrated oil company in the country and they pay their interns extremely well. Of course, moving for just three months isn't very appealing, but the company offered to pay all our moving expenses so we decided that we just couldn't turn it down.

So, it is hot and humid Houston for us this coming summer!

Okay I was so not geared up for that picture. I don't know why anyone would pose for a picture when they are that big. Wow

Wow! Texas, that is awesome. You can drive down to Mexico for yummy food all of the time. Plus you will be able to practice your Spanish! I am way excited to you, except that it is going to be awfully humid. Yuck! Congrats Sam! Are you going to keep your CO apartment for the summer?

I love when you post! It's always more than one so its fun to read! So, first off. I'm way jealous you got to go back home for a get-a-way. I really wish we were that close, maybe it wouldn't seem so hard. Second, I'm so proud of Ollie! Can't believe he can talk and is picking things up so fast. Lauren knows some sign language but she still isn't talking! We are just getting her to eat table food right now! Ya, I know! Poor Sam! Hope is bum heals fast! haha. Tell him we hope he watches out for those train tracks from now on! Vistors are always nice to have. I will never see my parents out here, not even when baby #2 comes in just a short month and a half! And, gotta ditto the WOW on that TX picture! That's awesome! Glad he got such a great oppourtunity. You'll be used to the humid weather from Venezuela, no prob! Oh, and love the new family pics! haha! Those are great! Good luck with those next time!
