update
It's been so long since I've sat down and written. Things have been so busy that I haven't really had time to put the tihngs running around in my head down on paper...not that this is really paper, but it's the 2008 equivalent...right? Regardless, I wanted to get some thoughts out and give a bit of an update to those who might actually still care what's going on in our life.
Ryan and I are now in the Dallas area. I was promoted to Assistant Manager on a property in Plano. We moved here in March and lived on property for a few months while we got familiar with the area and did a little house hunting. At the end of May we found a home north of Dallas in the cutest little community, one of those master planned communities with rear entrance garages and pastel colors on the houses...it's adorable. After much negotiation (who knew Ryan was such a hard ass!) and about a month and a half of qualifying and verifying, we moved in at the beginning of August. We are now the proud owners of a three bed, two bath, 1,800 square foot garden style home in Providence Village, Texas.
Ryan was able to transfer with his company and now works out of their office in Richardson. He's also going back to school and is taking some courses in Engineering to see if it's something he might enjoy. I'm amazed and proud of the way he has thrown himself into his studies. He is constructing a toothpick bridge for one course and I am so excited to see how it turns out. He's such a smart little cookie. He never ceases to surprise me.
The doggies are doing well. The cats have been relocated to Tacoma and the grandparents are so in love with them. It was initially a temporary trip, but then my dad (of all people!!!) fell in love and thought it might be better to keep them up north. In the beginning we thought we were beginning to slim down on the animal front...little did we know we would soon be inheriting a third dog!!! I'm not sure how many people have met Piper. He was my parents Christmas gift from my sister a few years ago (a Jack Russell Terrier), was introduced to my brother's lab and then relocated to Fayetteville to live with my brother for fear of separating the buddies. Now, with a new baby and another lab, my brother and his wife think Piper is too grumpy of an old man and he will be flying to Texas in a couple of weeks after a weekend trip to D.C. Phew! What a trading post of animals!!!!!
Well, my husband is begging for the computer so I'm going to run. More updates and hopefully some pictures soon.
Lots of love from the Comes (pronounced Combs) family here in Texas!!!
