Well, at the end of my last blog we were about to go for our final interview! Bret, Rylie and I flew out that Sunday and MUCH to our surprise we got to fly in first class! Ha! When we saw our ticket Bret said,"is there another 4a and 4b?" So that made our flight awesome! Huge seats, so much food and drinks. Yeah, we will probably never get that again but it was sure a fun treat! Oh and besides the fact that Rylie was a little angel on both flights! When we got into Atlanta, Erik, one of Bret's friends, picked us up from our hotel and we had dinner with him and his family! Erik was in Bret's IM class and has been a great friend to Bret throughout the year, so it was so great to meet his family and hang out with them!
The next morning CFA picked us up around 10:45. We were both nervous and anxious for the day and day ended up being perfect. We met with Terry Wigham first to just discuss some basic things like insurance, retirement and all. Very short and easy meeting and she took us down to lunch. Which it was so cool to see the home office and get to be in a setting I had heard Bret talk about so many times! After lunch, we waited for a little bit and Amy Millard came to get us and go over fifteen questions with us and then ask us if we had any questions. She was who Bret had done his two previous interviews with and I really enjoyed getting to talk with her. Lastly, we went to meet with Bill Dunfey. He was the one that was our long interview. We got to tell him our story together and pretty much he wanted to make sure Bret and I were on the same page for what we were moving forward with. And I loved that they bring the wives in on the final day interviews. After we met with Bill, well he had to hold Rylie first:)(she was the hit of the home office) and then we went back to meet with Amy Millard and she brought out the owner/operator name tag and OFFICIALLY offered Bret the Bastrop store! I definitely teared up that moment and am just so proud of Bret as always. After that, you get to ring the bell and sign your name to hall of fame board! That was so fun! All the franchisee selection people came out of their offices and congratulated Bret and then they took us across the street to see all the field operations people! Which that was great because those were all the people I hear Bret talk about all the time! We were both encouraged so much that day by everyone and Rylie did so incredibly great! It was such a great day! Our flight ended up getting cancelled that night because of weather, but we were able to get out the next morning thankfully,but had to rent a car to drive from San Antonio to San Angelo! It was kind of nice to just go back to hotel and relax after the long day!
Grams and Pops watched the boys while we were gone so they had a blast with them, even though every time they come in it is FREEZING COLD! The next week we were just still on cloud 9 from everything that happened! Even as Bret left for seminar today, I still can't believe it sometimes!
Our sweet Rylie had her one month appt this week and she is doing great! She has gained over two pounds which takes her to a whopping seven pounds 9 ounces. And she is almost 21 inches long! She is sleeping so great at night and even giving me some five hour stretches!
Carter had his school rodeo this week which was super cute to watch. He ran his stick horse around the rodeo and was so adorable. I am just so proud of how he has grown and watching how well he does at school! He had his Valentine's party last week at school and brought spider man valentines for everyone in his class! He is way into batman/ superman/ minja(ninja) everything right now. Today, he absolutely melted my heart. I was laying Tucker down for his nap and heard Rylie crying, but then she stopped. Well, I went into my room to find he had turned on music, wrapped her in a blanket, and she was sucking on his finger. My heart melted in pieces just watching him take such good care of his baby sister. Such a sweetheart.
Tucker right now is obsessed with daddy's "red car" and wants to ride with him everywhere. It is so cute and he's going to be so sad when we turn that car back in. He also got his first big boy haircut last week! He did so well sitting there and looks so grown up now! Kinda makes me sad, but he is still adorable.
The weather has been amazing lately and we have taken full advantage playing down in the sand, and outside in the dirt and just being outside for hours and hours. We have loved getting to take walks around the river and all. It has been so good for all of us. The boys have also been obsessed with playing with their suitcases lately. They race with them everywhere. Its pretty funny.
We will be leaving San Angelo in three short weeks. It is hard to believe we are finishing up the IM program, but I am also so ready and grateful for the next step. We will move to Houston for a few months while looking for housing in Bastrop! Excited to be around family and friends for awhile and then finally get settled! Cannot.wait.for.that.
Next post will probably be about the move and Carter's birthday!
He will be four! 😢
