Easter weekend was one of these weekends that I wish could have gone on forever. Time spent with family and just laughing, hanging out and enjoying the weather. My cousin Brandy and her neice (my second cousin) had a birthday party over Easter weekend that was full of bounce houses, cake, presents and all the [...]

So it’s been a while since I have posted on the ole’ blog. I’ve been one busy guy these past few months. My business has been taking off and we have been more busy than I could have ever imagined. It’s all been a good thing, but a lot of things in my life have [...]

Saturday night I was in a wreck. I didn’t see it coming. I had parked in the huge pakring lot under I-35 near 6th street to meet up with some friends that were leaving Austin for Grad school. After a fun dinner with friends I headed back to my truck to head home for the [...]

I’m California bound in just a few short hours. In much need of a vacation, I am headed the west coast to escape work, the cellphone, the computer, e-mail and all the other distractions that take me away. Hopefully I’ll come back with some great pictures and some fun memories to share while out west. [...]

I’m pretty happy with some results I got today from Craigslist. Since I have been remodeling and fixing up my home, I have generated a lot of trash. More recently, I took down a deck that was in my front yard and I had the wood pieces and all the cinder blocks sitting [...]

The last few weeks have been something of an emotional roller coaster ride. I moved into a new house, have spent countless hours trying to fix it up and get things moved in and squared away, and have had a slew of weddings and other commitments on the weekends.
Through all of this though, I [...]

It’s been almost a month since I have posted here. And a lot has been going since then. My previous post stated that I finally closed on the house. It’s mine and I’m finally moved in. Not set up mind you, just everything is in the house, under the same roof.
It [...]

The past few days have been pretty difficult for me. My grandfather passed away on Thursday morning at 4:30am. My dad called that morning as soon as he got the news.
It’s been awhile since I have been to a funeral. It’s been awhile since it was someone that was really close to me. My grandfather [...]

On Sunday night I spent the evening with some good friends of mine over some coffee and some great live music at Dominican Joe’s, a new coffee house in downtown Austin right off of Congress Avenue. Afterwards we headed back to a friends house for dinner and some great conversation.
My friend Dan and I have [...]

I’ve been out of the realm of my small group the past two weeks because of work. Last night I was able to attend again and I’m more than thankful that I did. I haven’t felt this encouraged by a group of men in a long time. Aside from all the joking around and picking [...]
