Sold Picture w/Ava

We made it over to Genoa this morning to get a picture w/ Ava. It has become a tradition of mine to get a picture w/ Ava at the end of every house. I have them developed and framed in my office. It's neat to look back and see her growing up with the closing of every house.

The next 6 months....

I am in the final stages of four sold homes so I'm preparing for the next 6 months ahead. Next month I will be starting a house in 3 different subdivisions in Lubbock:

Bacon Crest- Lot #76 Custom-SOLD
Regal Park Oaks- 91st and Hyden- Spec house 2775 sf 4 bed,3 bath, office, and dining.
Orchard Park- 4010 107th -Spec house 3350 sf 4 bed, 3 bath, office, dining, and basement.

Check back soon for ground breaking photos.

Last week at the home builders monthly luncheon, I opened the lunch with a prayer and led everyone in the pledge of allegiance. I was a little nervous but when Carl Russell (WTHBA President) called my name to come to the podium I quickly forgot about being nervous. I thanked God for just the opportunity to get up everyday and go to work. I sometimes forget what a blessing it is just to be able to physically get outside and be active!! I always flash back to a classroom at Cooper Elementary (circa 1985 to be exact) when I say the pledge aloud.


Its not all work, we will be taking some time off too:
Late March : Taking Ava to Ft. Worth zoo and to see Metromess family.
May: El Dorado Maroma Mexico- Short 3 day weekend trip from my wife. She surprised me on my birthday
June: Seattle for Meredith's wedding
September: Possible Turks and Caicos trip w/ Ava???????

4012 107th Street- SOLD

Special thanks to New Home Brokers and Milad Fakhreddine for getting the deal done. The couple that bought this house is really excited to make it their home. It seems like the local market is starting to warm up a little with lots of activity the last couple of weeks.
