On Tuesday night Chip, Preston, and I loaded up in the car for a late night drive to Houston. Chip had an interview for an Assistant Golf Pro job at Lake Windcrest Country Club. Preston did awesome on the drive down there and slept the whole way. The next day we all got up and Chip started to get ready for his big interview. I could tell he was excited, anxious, and nervous all wrapped up in one. This job is a huge deal for him and our family.
When Chip and I met in Korea he was in the process of deciding if he was going to re-up for another contract in the Army or get out. I remember him telling me that all he wants to do is teach golf, and that is what he knows he is meant to do.
After Chip left for the interview I started praying over and over. Asking God for His will to be done, and if this is where our family is suppose to be, to allow it to happen. I had mixed feeling at the time about the idea of relocating to Houston.
Chip called me a couple hours later and told me he got the job. I could hear in his voice that a huge boulder was lifted off his shoulders and I knew through the phone that he had a smile on his face.
I started crying.
Not tears of sadness, but absolute joy. I was so proud of him. I knew that all his hard work and determination now had purpose. All of my recent fears of moving were gone, and I was 100% on board with starting a new chapter of our lives in Houston.
We still have to figure out all the details. We know that while Chip is finishing his last couple months at school, he will be driving to Houston each weekend to work and driving back to be at school on Mondays. After school is finished he will need to immediately move so he can start working full time.
We have a lot to do to get ready to move, but we are so excited about the process. Our Dallas family has formed a bond with Preston that could never be broken, and I'm excited for our Houston family to get to do the same.
