Finalizing Details

Happy Wednesday! Things here have been going so fast! I can't believe at this point I'm about to move to Abilene, Texas in less than a week! I really thought that 3 months in DFW at my parent's house was going to feel like a long time. No, it's not because it's me living with my parents again, I'm have a blast getting to hang out with my Dad and playing an endless amount of games of Monopoly City with my Mom. I have to note here that I am the champion of Monopoly City!! Back to real life though...I guess all of the traveling I've been doing has made this go by super fast.

Well last Thursday (I'm skipping over a whole trip to Chicago but that post will come later with pictures) Mom and I went to Abilene to find Dillon and I a place to live. Dillon and I had gone once before but had no success. After putting Mom through hours of house hunting and endless miles of driving around with me, we were unsuccessful in finding a house to rent. I should say we did find a cute home for only $800 a month but they wouldn't rent to us because we're not married and I am unemployed. Can't help but the the bible belt did approve of us living in sin together but whatever! So we switched our efforts to apartments. We found a great apartment called The Reserve at Abilene. It was built in 2008 so it brand new, has granite countertops, a washer and dryer and the complex has a sand volleyball court! The one sad thing is that now that we're in an apartment that dogs will have to stay in Houston with Dillon's Dad. :-( I'm really sad to not have our babies but it would be cruel to take them to an apartment when they are use to a house with a big backyard they can play in.

So now Dillon and I have made our plans and it looks like we'll be headed to Abilene on Tuesday (10/19). Today he takes the first part of his PV followed by the second part tomorrow and after that he'll be an air traffic controller! On Friday he and Evan will head back down to Texas (they are very excited about this) and my parents are throwing them a small party to celebrate their graduation. My parents are the best! We'll be down to Houston on Saturday to pack up the final things and headed out Monday night. Dillon will be driving the massive 24 foot budget rental truck, can't say I'm sad that Dillon will be driving this instead of me.

I'll follow soon with more!
