Here's a timeline of the past 9 days:
Thursday - Husbandy drives home, as normal, to spend the weekend in Dallas. We have a wonderful Thursday night dinner.
Friday - A typical Friday where I go to work. After work we meet up with our Realtor (whom I am now calling our best friend cause we hang out so much) and see four houses.
Saturday - I go to a photography class in the morning then we, again, meet with the Realtor and see another 4 houses. We decide we really like a house in Richardson that we saw a week ago and put in an offer. We know we're coming in a little low, but can't justify a bigger offer with the work that needs to be done on the house, so we tell ourselves nothing is going to come of it.
Sunday - Typical Sunday...Mass...engagement party...babysit Kate....drive around potential neighborhoods to see what they're like.
Monday - Ok, so this is where things pick up. Husbandy wakes up early to "pull" a ring day ticket (gets group 1...whoop!) and heads of to College Station for class and a group meeting. After his last class, which ends around 6:25, he drives back to Dallas.
Tuesday - Husbandy gets up early to be in Arlington by 9:00am to listen to a speaker, General Terry Dake, former Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps. He was asked to come back to meet with the speaker as a former Goolsby graduate. That night we decide to squeeze in seeing a few houses since he's home.
Wednesday - Husbandy gets up early for a drive back to College Station. The rest of the day is decently normal, however, we do hear that the bank did not go with our offer for the house in Richardson. Sad.
Thursday - Our original plan was for me to drive to CS on Thursday night, and then on Friday we were going to go to the Blue Bell Factory in Brenham and be back in time to get his ring. Well, on Monday Husbandy received a phone call from a firm in Dallas for an interview on Friday. Soooo, lucky for him, he got to drive back to Dallas Thursday night! He was thrilled. We were very thankful for the interview, it just seemed to be bad timing.
Friday - I had obviously already taken off, so in the morning we got up and drove downtown for the interview. It was kinda pointless for Husbandy to go all the way downtown and then drive back to the house to get me when he was done, so I went and filled my time during his interview with filling the car with gas and Starbucks. After he was done we drove to College Station and immediately went to The Association of Former Student Building to get the ring!!! It was very exciting and many pictures were taken. I must say, Husbandy looks mighty fine with his new bling. I'm just so proud of him. :)
Originally (by originally I mean after the interview was thrown in the mix) we were thinking we were going to have to drive separately to CS, so Husbandy would have a car, and I would have one to drive back to Dallas in on Sunday. Thankfully, we found out my brother was going to a bachelor party in Houston(ish), so we made the plan to meet him on his way back. Husbandy still had to drive me an hour so it wouldn't be inconvenient for the group of guys my brother was driving with, but I guess it's better than nothing.
Whew! What a week. Fill in the cracks with studying and you can see why Husbandy is ready for May 12th. Please keep him in your prayers as he finishes up his Master's Degree!
