Dr Becky Towne

The long move to Texas has begun and things are heating up here. Temps hit the 90s today. Things are heating up at Houston Graduate School of Theology as well. I am just beginning to learn the extent of this new job and there may be new responsibilities on the way. Of course, I miss Jim a lot. We talk every day--sometimes several times a day. He gets to be in Houston for Memorial Weekend and we are counting the days (soon it will be hours).

I had a vivid dream about the girls during a nap on Saturday and couldn't believe they weren't here when I woke up. Leaving Colorado Springs on May 7 was much harder than I had thought it would be and I imagine I'll be confused about where I am and what's going on for a while.

I should have some photos of the new office and co-workers soon but, for now, the photos are from the days prior to the first leg of this long transition:
(1) Good friends--the Townes and the Rudds;
(2) Jim and his Uncle Fred after the regular listening prayer service;
(3) Becky and Halee at the Sunday School brunch;
(4) Halee giving the in-front-of-the-camera look for her momma;
(5) We had dinner with Jim and Linda Towne (Jim's dad) before I left;
(6) Jim loved his peach tree in bloom--so sad there was a late freeze;
(7) Nephew and niece Byrne and Judi--family and friends forever;
(8) Niece Bonnie and great-nephew Ewan (Baby Ewey);
(9) We also visited with Jim's mom, Gladys Byerly, before I headed to Texas;
(10) My Sunday school class finished a study of 2 Chronicles before I handed the reins to Kirk Harrison. We started the study in Genesis and it only took eight or nine years for us to make it through 2 Chronicles. What a great journey!
