Here we go again with the 3rd move of the summer to Beaumont, TX. Before Jess and I took for to Utah for a vacation the management decided to move the whole office (12 married couples most with kids, 8 single guys, and 8 techs) to Texas because of a better economy and market. Jess and I were really excited because it just so happened that Reno and Melanie Mendenhall who were are good friends from back home were working for APX in Beaumont and living in the same apartment complex that we were moving to, small world. Luckly we didnt have to make the drive from Miami to Beaumont instead just flew from Salt lake to Houston after our family reunion. Beaumont is exact opposite of Miami. It is a small town feel where people are allot nicer and layed back. However some Texans are still rough around the edges because within the first months being there we had one guy choked on a door step, another tackled on the ground and one get pistol whipped in the back of the head and taken to the hospital. We did have allot of fun though. Almost every morning the majority of the office would play sand volleyball and hangout at the pool. We also played alot of golf and tennis. These pictures are a big office talent show that we put on when Erika (jessica's sister) came to visit us. All the wives made up a dance, we had singing, funny talents, and skits. Never would have thought we would be in Texas and this point of the summer but here we are.
each summer we are taken so far away from our families and friends so this is our multimedia outreach to stay in touch. we really do love you all and promise to stay home one of these summers.
