Okay, this is my 4th try to post this. I am beginning to think I’m not supposed to for some reason. Melissa and Garrett are moving here as soon as school is out. Rex is at a point with his business that he needs some help to keep things going, and asked Garrett if he was interested. He wants to learn to build homes since firefighters often have a sideline job, this would be a very good one for the future. Two of the fire departments in the area are hiring, and Garrett hopes to get on with one of them and work part time for Rex. He can work full time if he doesn’t get on with one of the FD’s.
Melissa has already completed the admissions process for the college here and hopefully be accepted to the RN program and then to the BSN program at the local university. She wanted to go to a branch of Univ. of Texas and get straight into a BSN program, however, that option isn’t available here. She will have to get her RN and then upgrade to BSN, and the university is a branch of Univ. of Houston, not UT. However, the cost of living is lower here than in central Texas so they have decided to come here, work this plan and hopefully be able to move back to central Texas, after Melissa finishes, to good jobs with some money already in savings. She wants to be a nurse practitioner specializing in labor and delivery, so she will need to move to get her MSN unless they begin to offer that here in the future.
They are here this weekend doing some work for Rex on his Parade house. Melissa came down early yesterday and checked out some apartments and visited with the college.
Our other daughter Karen also came down this weekend, and while M. and G. are working, we will check out a few more apartments and report back to them.
Karen will be the only one of our family still in central Texas, at least for a while, and our plans to find a home or land in the Wimberley area are on hold for now. We have to wait a little longer to see where these kids land.
So they are all here this weekend, though busy!!!
