Trains, Planes and Automobiles

Well...two out of the three isn't bad, right? For those who didn't know we sold the Bronco back to Dad Coppinger. So we drove it to Mineola on Friday and then rode the train back to Austin on Sunday. There was a slight mix up with the dates on the tickets, but nothing so big that we had to stay in Mineola (unfortunately, since it is one of the best places to be!). In case you ever ride on the train you should know that you have one year to use your ticket. So in the rare instance that you put the wrong date when you are scheduling them....it is okay.

We took some great pictures waiting for the train at the Mineola Transportation Complex. Our train was two hours late, but that gave us time to look through the museum (which doesn't take very long, but if you are curious feel free to visit;)).

Anyway, we still got home at our scheduled time so it wasn't too bad, and riding the train is really fun! Everyone should have one experience on a train. Our weekend in Mineola was quite relaxing, and it is always a blessing to hang out with parents!

**An update on Paul's job hunt**Paul had a phone interview with Intel yesterday which we think is a dead end. It is for a job that Paul really doesn't know how to do. However, he received a phone call from HR at Texas Instruments (TI) and apparently the phone interview he had on Thursday really impressed the interviewer so he will be going in for a second interview. We aren't sure the date yet, but it will be sometime after our trip to Utah. Probably around June 9th or so. We will update when we know more. Please continue to pray for God's guidance and clarity.

Check out the pictures of our trip!

So jealous of your train ride! That's rad!

Where is Texas Instruments located again? Just wanting to know how to be praying. If it's not in Austin, our prayers will be a hindrance to Paul's getting the job...sorry.
