She is engaged to a wonderful guy who happens to live in San Antonio, so after almost 2 years of a long-distance relationship, she was offered a full-time teaching position with Texas State University in San Marcos!! This will allow her and Scott to pursue their plans for the future without geographic restrictions!!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The offer from Texas State University was received in mid-December, right before Christmas, so Carla had about 2-3 weeks to move out of her apartment, transition to her new living arrangements and get ready for classes next week. So, there was no time for farewells, but she can still receive TAMU-C emails for a little while (<a href="mailto:carla.asbill@tamuc.edu">carla.asbill@tamuc.edu</a>) if anyone would like to communicate and get future contact information from her.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Carla was a valuable member of the School of Social Work family and we will greatly miss her.
