      Can’t believe we are already 9 days into January! Feels like 2020 is going to flash by…

      Lil’ Miss helped me with the Chemex duties

      Got to work and hit the ground running! I’ve felt behind the 8 ball all week

      We have a new development that I’m having my team building marketing assets for, and we got approval for a very simple logo yesterday.
      Here is the parapet of the front elevation

      Here is the logo we did

      My boss took me to lunch and showed me
      How to make a burrito place keto lol

      One of our owners is redoing an old school brick house and turning it from a 400 sf box to a 3,000 sq foot modern home. I’d like to feature it in our Spring Magazine, so went by to check out the progress

      Came home and opened my Christmas present to myself!

      Made dinner

      Got the photos back from the new listing we toured the other day - his were far better than mine 🙂

      Have an awesome Friday!

        Converting a 400 sqft house into a 3000 sqft house? Wouldn't it be simpler to just tear it down and start over?

          There might be zoning laws preventing that. A house in my town did something similar They had to keep one wall in tact

          Maybe so. Maybe not

              To be fair, it’s a cool angle - his dad was one of the original developers in town, so it’s a “rebirth” type story. I totally dig it.

              Plus, our building costs are insane… starting with 400 sqft can save you 150k bucks...

                    We have homes that sell for $1400 per sq ft over here, so builders definitely take advantage!

                          Sorry for the airwaves quiet, Friday was filled with routine doctors visits, so just getting back into normalcy!

                          Been enjoying my new blender!

                          Built block robots with the kiddos Saturday morning

                          Continued my yard work from the weekend prior

                          Multiple iced coffee breaks seeing that the weather was in the 70s(f) all weekend!

                          Made “keto grilled cheese” with cauliflower rice - kinda odd but tasty none the less [emoji23]





                          Cocktail time…

                          Made homemade peanut butter

                          Avery helped me clean up

                          Sausage balls for breakfast [emoji1642]

                          Took the kiddos to Alys beach for scooters and park time


                          Cooked a brisket

                          Washed the wife’s car

                          Back at it tomorrow!!!

                                So sorry for the lack of posts - this week has been one of the hardest at my new job, and the kiddos have been hell raisers! Please enjoy this dump of photos as my act of contrition 🙂

                                On Monday I toured a new listing of ours - a massive 7k+ sq ft home sitting on the corner of a dune lake, overlooking the Gulf. It’s outdated and in no way a “hot” property, but I fell in love with its French country charm and no frills presence. In a market where people pay a premium for “turnkey,” this offers an opportunity for someone to experience a wonderful setting and truly outfit it as it’s own.

                                On Tuesday I toured a very similar property, but in a different league. The emotional connection I had with this property was the most I have had since moving to 30A. If I was $5M richer, this one wouldn’t even hit market in two weeks…

                                The wife and I are still having fun with making our keto meals. We made creamy pork chops that were to-die for.

                                I enjoyed the last of my “birthday” mezcal from
                                December (I turned 32 last month)

                                I’ve been wearing the lefty as often as possible!

                                My folks came into town this weekend from Dallas, so we fired up the grill and had a great dinner

                                Had one of my favorite wines

                                Rocking my sample 777-142

                                Finished off with a new tequila - I give it a 6/10

                                The kids are out of school for the next few days, so hopefully some adventures ensue 🙂

                                Thanks for following along!

                                  If you get the chance try the Milagro Single Barrel Select. A little more money,but significantly better.

                                    Thanks @Jett129 - they did have that one for a reasonable price. I'll have to check it out next time!

                                      Weekend Update 01.17-18.2020

                                      With the parents in town, we decided to show them our new bike route with the kiddos - I always end up pulling the buggy [emoji23]

                                      Went to local BBQ place

                                      <proud parent="" moment="">Grayson, our big twin, has had a hard time with his speech. Our girl Avery used to be domineering in their first pre-school
                                      Class that she “spoke for him,” and we had to separate them. Now that we are in a new school, he’s working with a great group of teachers and a wonderful speech therapist.

                                      After lunch, he said “I want to show you something…” so he grabbed my hand, walked me to the ice cream shop across the green, walked up to the counter and said in his still often indecipherable language “hello sir (it was a teenage girl manning the counter haha), I’d like chocolate ice cream please.”

                                      Usually, I would repeat what he said clearly to the staff, but she replied, “cup or cone.”

                                      He was very proud of himself:

                                      Took photos in Rosemary Beach

                                      Came home and put on proper kit

                                      Yesterday, while it was overcast, it was tranquil along the beach, so took everyone for the walk

                                      After the beach, we took the kiddos to Seaside, Florida for a jaunt on the green (this is where they filled The Truman Show
