February life update

Haven't written anything for a while now and I wanted to take a minute and update the blog.  Things have been busy, but that is nothing new.  I've started a new work schedule where I'm working 2 days a week at the family company and the other days I'm focusing on real estate.  We have 5 different properties that need to be finished and sold/rented.  The goal is to have them all finished in 6 months, which will require a lot of attention, planning and a little luck.  I'm completing the last few steps to get my real estate license this week and I'm looking forward to getting that all wrapped up.  Linz and I are going to Spain for a week in March and I can't wait to get a trip recap and some pics on here.  I have been working on a post for a while that is semi influenced by the State of the Union address from earlier this year.  The main problem is that I have changed my mind on how I think about everything on a weekly basis.  Kind of hard to write/finish a post if you disagree with yourself by the end of it.  But,  I'm sure I will get it figured out.  Just got back from the weekend in Abilene where we got the whole family together and saw Blake's group win ACU Sing-Song.  So a big congrats to him and the rest of the Sophomore class.  I'll get some "before and after" pics up of the houses as they get done and get a new post out later in the week.  Until then.....

Thanks for the read.

Old Glory by Terry Jones - Austin Area Art











Made of horseshoes and wrenches, with rebar for a nest.
Car parts and rifle buried deep in her chest.
With pistols on her back and metal files for a tail.
Twisted iron wings that never shall fail.
Pad locks and chain make feathers cold and hard.
The phoenix, arisen from the scrap metal yard.

Guardian by Herb Long - Austin Area Art



The thin but well defined mustache compliments the slender hair slicked back on his head. Eyes dim and distant. Head slightly tilted. Shoulders in permanent tension. A body and mind older than their age. In deep thought of the things he wishes he had seen and the moments he wants to forget. Hands in his pockets holding tightly to all he thinks he has, while the wind blows straight through his soul.
