Day: December 31, 2024

2024 was a crazy year for Lorena and I. It seemed like I was running like crazy for the entirety of my PhD leading up to walking the graduation ceremony in December of 2023. We assumed that life would slow down some after that, but we decided, early in 2024 that we really did not want to be so far away from shopping and medical services as we got older. We also reaffirmed that we hated HOA’s and did not really need an acre of land (after downsizing from three acres). So we decided to put our Godley house on the market and build a house in Granbury.

We needed a place to live while our house was being built in Mexico so we decided to live in one of the apartments of our little apartment building in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon. We believe God has his hand in virtually everything and this has been no exception. Grandma Conchita is not getting any younger and it has been a huge blessing to be close to her over these last few months. It appears we will be moving out of the apartment in a couple of months and into one floor of the house that is in the process of remodeling up the hill from the apartments. We don’t expect to be in the new house in Granbury until late in 2025–we are hoping to celebrate Thanksgiving there, but that might be too optimistic.
