Well, Jonathan made his first solo foray into the heart of Texas. He decided to drive to Dallas/Ft.Worth early Thursday morning to meet up with an old friend. I'm not too sure what they did, but apparently they had a nice time. He had to work the next night, so he headed back home for the 5 hour trip in the early afternoon. He wanted to have plenty of time to get ready for work. Unfortunately, almost two hours into the drive he discovered that he was headed for Louisianna, not Houston.
Tanner and I know that route intimately. When we first visited Texas it was to attend a friends wedding in Mt. Pleasant (a small town that Jonathan passed through). Mt. Pleasant is about 50 miles from Louisianna, and about 2 hours from Dallas. We drove to Mt. Pleasant. Then we drove to Dallas. Then we drove to Mt. Pleasant. Then we drove to Connor. Then we drove to Mt. Pleasant. Then we drove to Dallas. Yes, we know Mt. Pleasant very well. It is not my favorite stretch of road though you do pass quite a number of reasonably priced suburban housing tracts. You can purchase a 3/2 house on a 1/4 acre for about 60k.
Well, Jonny made it home with about 5 minutes to spare. It was good for him, and he handled the stress of the situation very well. Much better than I would have done.
This is the end of a long work week for Tanner, and we're looking forward to a lighter week coming up. He's going to try to finish up the shed next week, and I hope repair the last hole in our wall. School is fast approaching, so it's imperative that we spend as much time as possible working on the house and getting it up to snuff. I spent the afternoon taping and mudding a wall while the girls took their naps. I have to go over it one more time before we can sand, texture and paint. It's nice to see the house slowly coming together.
