Another long day of driving (about 9.5 hours). I had told Molly I was staying in Dallas last night because I wanted to surprise her. I told her I planned to be in Madison by Friday. After a long day of driving, I made it to Madison. I picked up a few groceries and waited … Read More
After researching what there is to do between Texas and Wisconsin, I decided to make the trip a quick one and surprise Molly. I left Austin in the morning and drove to Dallas to meet an advisor who is part of the AGC, an advisor group of which we are both members. We met for … Read More
Sunday was a lazy day. We hung out, chatted, and caught up on life stuff. It was good taking time to relax after the past few weeks.
One of my favorite activities in Austin is eating. They have so much good food, and a great variety. We started the day at Cosmic, which is a place we went many years ago when I first came to Austin. It’s a coffee, alcohol, food garden. They have a few food trucks in a beautiful … Read More

I am joining a fee-only financial association, and I had to meet with a current member as part of the process to get accepted. It was a really good conversation.

I started the day wondering if I was going to be able to go in Carlsbad Caverns because the power had gone out two days prior and had been closed. Thankfully, they posted on Facebook that the power was back on, so I made my way over. The caverns were spectacular. It’s amazing some of … Read More
This was a long day of driving. I left very early in the morning and drove through most of New Mexico. I found it fascinating going through “oil country.” The smell, the rigs drilling, and everything was strange. The housing seemed depressing. Some people brought their trailers. I’ve seen more pick ups south of Carlsbad … Read More
Last night I was treated to dinner by my mentor in my Registered Life Planner training. He is a local to Durango, and it was strange being in a city on a Saturday night. We had a nice meal and listened to some music in the evening. Real estate values are very high in Durango. … Read More
