we have arrived!

It's like a gigantic load has been lifted from our shoulders. The wife and I have now officially both stopped working at our corporate jobs in Houston and have moved to South Padre Island. 

The picture above is a shot of our newly-painted house with the wife over in the corner celebrating. We still have lots of boxes to unpack and things to rearrange before the house is totally "settled" but that's a lot of fun.

The picture below is a shot of the very first sunset we had after we arrived on the island. Many more to come. I'm sure I'll catch several sunrises, but only after sleeping for a few weeks, or months!
