Lorena and I had a really interesting day today. First, I had a meeting with a professor from the Guadalajara campus of ITESM (important Mexican university system). There is a great chance we will be able to work with him as part of my day job. He is a gifted researcher and just an impressive individual.

After that, our builder, Brad, invited us to visit a house he had built in Granbury. The owners were beyond gracious in showing us their house. Our (famous) house designer lives just across the street and he came out to see us after we went through the house tour. We cam away from all of that with stars in our eyes. Everyone seems to know about the exact lot we have purchased and believe it was a brilliant move. That is yet to be determined, but we were VERY inspired and we LOVED the houses in that neighborhood–mostly all designed by our house designer.

THEN, I had a Signal message from Christian waiting for me when we got home from the house visit. It was the picture Christian took of my professor Troy after my PhD dissertation defense. All of it is all good.

Grateful.
