No More Chili's...Hopefully ever!!!

Tonight was Darrell's last night at Chili's. He has been working there for about 5 years and off and on for over 10 years. Crazy huh? The Chili's here in the town we are living in wasn't what we expected. We will miss the great food discounts but we need and are starting to eat better so maybe this is a good thing.

We are both excited for his new job as Assistant Manager at the Auto Zone right by our house. It takes less than 5 minutes to walk there (which he is excited about since Chili's was about a 10-15 minute drive). He is also excited about the hours (and so am I). He won't be getting home at 1 and 2 am any more. Thank goodness. The knowledge he will learn about things he will need in the future also excites him.

Darrell also start back to school tomorrow. This is his second semester at this school. He loves being at such a big school. He will only be taking 4 classes instead of 5 like last semester so we are hoping we might be able to see each other more often. He is getting his masters in architecture. His undergrad is not in architecture so this program will be about a 3 1/2 or 4 year program. We will be here for a while. At the end of 2 years he will have a second bachelors degree which we are both excited about. I am so proud of Darrell for working so hard when things haven't been all that easy for him or us. He keeps pushing forward and fights for what he wants and knows is right. I truly admire him and thank him for the great example he is setting now for our kids in the future. I love you babe. XOXO

YAY! no more Chili's. LOL. That's really cool that he will be working so close to home though. Good luck on this next semester Darrell.
