Darrin had a GREAT first week at his job in San Antonio! He's spending his mornings in the warehouse getting a feel for the products and what the guys do there and then spends his afternoons learning his new job of inside salesman. He's really enjoying it and has some fun coworkers. His outside guy Robert and his family have really gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome in our new city. They invited Darrin over for dinner one night last week and shared their cable with him (because the cable and internet had not yet been set up at the apartment.) He even had to golf for work on Saturday afternoon - this has GOT to be his dream job! :) :)
I had a busy 2nd to last week getting caught up on projects that I've been trying to complete at work and trying to look online for jobs in SA in the evenings. I did get a chance to go out and ride horses one evening with Mom and Kaity, which was so peaceful and relaxing! I'll miss things like that when we're 2 1/2 hours away. :( It's sure been fun living with my family like "old times" but I reallllllly miss my husband and wish he was here with me!!
Because someone had to be home for the cable/internet setup on Saturday, I went back to San Antonio to spend this last weekend with Darrin. I put about a million more holes in the walls of the apartment (nail holes from hanging pictures) and a few holes in the bank account, checking out the area shopping while Darrin golfed. Then we went to dinner with Robert and his family at Spaghetti Warehouse. On Sunday we went around looking at some nearby shops and had a great lunch together before I started packing to head back to Bryan again. Sunday was tough to leave again, but this is our last week apart and then we can finally live together in our new city!! We're definitely looking forward to next week! We did have to miss Martha's birthday on Saturday, but it's probably a good thing I wasn't there when she opened her new Nook that Perch got her...I might have tried to steal it!!!! ;) Sounds like Perch did a great job of making it a special day for Martha. HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY MARTHA!!! :) :)
I can't wait to get to SA next week, live with my husband, and start job hunting and getting to know our new place. I've already got 2 people I'm supposed to meet with when I get there, and I'm signed up to go to a career fair on Thursday! We're even planning to go visit a new church next weekend!!! :) This is such a new and exciting chapter in our lives! We are so blessed to have been given this opportunity and feel so confident that we are following God's will for our lives!
