DH has already had a little adventure since being there. Yesterday, he went to his new office to meet a few folks in the morning, then intended to meet the realtor to look at places in the afternoon. On his way toward Tomball, his car started herkin' & jerkin' and the "service engine" light came on. He was worried b/c the nearest dealership was 15 miles away, but he made it. His car is only 3 y/o and just had maintenance done a week ago, so we think the problem is related. The dealership confirmed it and all repairs are under warranty. Yay. They gave him a free rental (he thinks it's funny their rentals are pick-up trucks) but now it doesn't look like his car will be ready before he flies out tomorrow afternoon.
Anyhow, the realtor wasn't able to meet y'day after all that, so he drove around looking at places he'd mapped out. He said the neighbors were super friendly and helpful. He called to tell me he was in LOVE with a particular house that he's been tracking online for weeks. Unfortunately, it's for sale (not rent) and while we do plan to buy, we will rent first to get a feel for the area while waiting for our house in CA to sell. I knew he would love that place and warned him against going there, and now all he wants is that house. LOL. Too bad we're not ready to buy just yet!
