So long, Farewell, Auf Weidersehen, Goodbye

My brother got a job.

Most would look at this as a good thing. "Congratulations, Josh!" "Good for you!" "Way to go!" Well, I say, "STOP TELLING HIM THAT!!!"

My brother didn't just get any job. He got a job for which he has applied, interviewed, been thrice tested, and prayed over the last month or two. Don't get me wrong, I am glad he got the job he has been wanting. I don't begrudge him that. The problem is...it's in Texas.

He got a job at Peterbilt Motors in Denton, Texas. It is a really good job, but it's over two hours away. Whatever will I do without him?

Who will I turn to to dress in ridiculous costumes at various family and public events?

Young Family Reunion 2011


Oklahoma Blizzard 2011


Easter 2011

This one turned out good...look how happy those kiddies are!

Who will I make fun of for doing this to two phones in less than a month?Not a cheap phone either. It is, er...was, a Droid.

So I guess it all boils down to this, my best source of local entertainment is moving far, far away.

(Great symbolism, right? He's sitting far, far away with a Texas flag above his head...)

In all seriousness, I love my brother, and I'm sad that he is leaving. I am happy he got his job and that he is getting to move back to Texas like he wants, but I'm still sad that he is leaving.

I will miss you, brudder!


Regretfully they tell us,
But firmly they compel us,
To say goodbye
To you.

(Sorry, I love "The Sound of Music!")
