Proud of the Hubbie

Okay I am new at this whole blogging thing so I apologize for being excited and wanting to post again. Tonight we went to visit Rob at our friends restaurant, Fortuna Grill. He has decided to work there one night a week for a little extra cash for the holidays and some money to begin going on some family vacations. For those of you that do not know, we moved here from NY to escape the financial strain that living in NY puts on a family. We were living in a $400,000 house and paying a $4100 mortgage a month, which meant that we had no choice but to work not only our jobs as teachers, but side jobs as well to keep our heads up above water. When we moved here, we were in shock that we could live here and I could stay home and even have money to play with. I was sort of surprised that Rob had no hesitation to work another side job just to make our lives that much better when his friend offered him a shift at the restaurant. He is working for one of his closest friends, Mark, which I think Rob is enjoying helping him out as he begins his new career as owner of this Italian restaurant but still, he must be exhausted from working all day. Well anyway, we show up at the restaurant around 6pm and Jack was smiling from ear to ear when he saw his daddy there. He was so proud of him that he was working at Mark's restaurant. But what was priceless to me was to see how hard Rob was working after working a 8am-5pm teaching job that day. You could totally see that us being there was so important to him since he did not get to really see Jack the whole day since he literally ran in and changed to only have to leave again. Jack and Rob are inseperable. Don't you know, they are Jedi's! Well I needed to give props to my husband when he deserves it because there will probably be plenty of posts where I am bashing him instead!

By the way, you must try Fortuna Grill!! The food is the best Italian food around, the closest to NY Italian food that I have tasted since we moved to Texas. It is not expensive and it is close by. It is the perfect place for a night out with some friends or your other half.
