Change is a coming...

Jon and I are excited to announce that........


 no we will not be having a baby (gotcha), but we will be leaving Texas temporarily at the end of September to travel the US through travel nursing. Yes, I know that I am not a nurse so maybe we should say that Jon will be doing the nursing and I will be doing the traveling. After almost 5 years at Children's Medical center for Jon and 3 years of teaching for me we are going to mix things up a little bit. We will not know the exact location for our first placement for a few more weeks so there is a lot of unknown right now.

We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends and family updated on our adventures. We chose the title "Adventures of Mr. & Mrs. Boggans" for several reasons. First of all, when you have a last name like Higginbotham you get called all kinds of different names. Since I started teaching I have been callled everything from "Mr. Boggans", "Higgle Bottoms", "Higginbottom", "Higgybottoms" to "Hickenbock" the list goes on and on. However, our favorite is Mr. Boggans from my first year of teaching. It was the first Friday of the school year and the first time I didn't walk my class out to recess after lunch. One of my students frantically approached the teacher on duty, with tears streaming down her face, and proceeded to ask where her teacher was. The teacher asked the little girl who her teacher was and she received this response, "Her, her name is Mr. Boggans!"  To this day my dad still calls Jon Mrs. Boggans and me Mr. Boggans.

Jon and I are excited and nervous all at the same time. Stayed tuned for more details on our up and coming adventures!
