life

    Been a busy first quarter for me and haven’t devoted as much time to my blog. That will change as things are slowing down and I’ll be taking a vacation soon.

    Just a friendly reminderly reminder to not let work burn you out. Use that time off!

    Buying a new car is such a painful process. Happy to be done with it and have to take it for a spin today!

    Wife and I both have colds for the holidays. But yesterday we were able to get out and enjoyoy a Yemeni coffee shop in Dallas. Quite delicious.

    Assortment of beverages in glass cups. Pastries in foreground on wooden serving platter.

    Paid off my student loans - 10 years after graduating. Honestly don’t feel much emotion. It’s nice to not have another monthly payment?

    A week full of work travel and personal travel ends tomorrow with the sale of our house in Austin. Closing of that chapter is complete.

    Much needed long weekend. Off on a day trip outside of Dallas tomorrow.

    Wasn’t anticipating not getting a single trick-or-treater tonight lol

    Finally feel settled into the rental house in Dallas..a month later. Moving forces you to downsize but always end up spending money on furniture upgrades!

    On the flip side. I’m already enjoying exploring new places and restaurants in the area. Adventure awaits! Now for the wife and dog to arrive.

    Benefits of moving into a smaller house? It forces me to evaluate whether I really need the item.

    But I still have to spend all weekend unpacking 😅

    I consider myself a pretty supportive person. But there is nothing worse than seeing your wife go through a difficult time at her job and not be able to help in the moment. I don’t like seeing people miserable 😔

    Starting a new job and preparing to move across the state of Texas has really cut into my consumption and really everything else. Can’t wait for things to be done and next week to start settling down 😮‍💨

    Living in a hotel in between moving is not fun at all.

    Meeting with the realtor this afternoon. Not looking forward to selling or renting our house out. Both aren’t how I want to be spending my time while we move to DFW area.

    Yesterday I was speaking to my Dad on the phone and he insinuated, out of the blue, that I should think about having kids. Have I reached that point in my 30s now where people are going to start asking me that regularly?
