Week 19: 1,056 Miles...


Project 'Here's to the Nineteen' has officially began. It will be a slight change from my typical 365 routine, but we'll see how well it works! This morning, Jason moved to Charlotte, North Carolina! We have been anticipating this day for over a month now, but today reality hit. He graduated from Texas A&M in December, and landed a solid job that will start his career in the East Coast. Other than college, this is the first time anyone has moved out of our house and found a new place to call home. Everyone shed several tears, especially my mother. All of her babies are growing up quickly and moving on to big things! My brother, Jason, is one remarkable person. He is witty, creative, optimistic, hopeful, full of life and jokes, intelligent, hard-working, unbelievably selfless and kind-hearted. Everyone from Texas will miss this fun-loving, sweet southern gentleman... but North Carolina is in for a real treat! I know he has an incredibly bright future ahead, and I can't wait to see what's to come! Even though we may have doubted him at times, he always exceeded our expectations.  Jason Christopher Engle, you have achieved so much thus far in your life and I know you will achieve so much more. You may be 1,056 miles away from Sugar Land, but this will always be your home! Be sure to whip out your cowboy boots and southern accent to show all those folks in North Carolina how it's done!
