Well, day 2 in Texas productive. We met our realtor, Tina, and saw about 10 different houses. We'll see a few more tomorrow morning, but so far, we've seen two that we like. Had a great lunch at Cotton Patch, and got a little tour of how to get to UTA from the Mansfield area (where most of the houses we looked at were).
Of course, all of this house shopping is dependent upon getting our house in Newburgh sold. The progress on that will hopefully move forward tomorrow evening with our 3rd showing! Hopefully these folks will like what they see.
This afternoon was an interesting experience. While Amanda rested at the hotel, I went to campus to drop my belongings off in my temporary apartment. The apartment seemed new and pretty nice, but for being "fully furnished," it was missing a few things...beds, nightstands, couches, end tables, and so on. But maybe I'm just asking too much...:)
Of course, those things were all supposed to be there, so the apartment manager will be working on getting those things finished before I move in on Saturday. Keep your fingers crossed.
Tomorrow should be fun. More house shopping, lunch with the new boss, meeting the new Orientation Leaders, and then off to Rangers Ballpark where my new favorite American League team, the Texas Rangers, will be facing off against the Seattle Mariners. We'll be enjoying the game from the All-You-Can-Eat seats and probably get to see some offensive fireworks since you've never heard of either team's starting pitcher, both of whom have an ERA over 4.00. Should be a fun night! Here's hoping we get a good phone call from our Newburgh realtor during the game!
Sincerely,
The Duvalls
