Aztec Building

In addition to One Technology Center, I will also be managing the Aztec Building.  Today, I went to meet the tenants at the Aztec Building.  It is a beautiful old building built in 1926.  The building definitely needs a lot of TLC but it has so much character, which I just love.  On the first floor, it has a theater that has been recently renovated, which by the way, looks extraordinary.  The owner is a baron from Belgium. - I just think that is so cool.

   

Our first weekend away from Beaumont!

Not bad. First of all, we had to continue Daddy's and the kid's tradition. Saturday morning, we got in the car and as we were on our way to get donuts for breakfast, we sang "Well, I walked around the corner and I walked around the block and I walked right into a donut shop, and I picked up a donut and I licked off the grease and I handed the lady a five-cent piece. Well, she looked at the nickel and she looked at me and she said "this nickel is no good to me. There's a hole in the middle and it goes right through!" "Well, lady there's a whole in the donut too. Thanks for the donut. You bet!"

Visiting relatives...

After eating donuts, we visited some aunts and uncles and of course, Fritzie Boy, the dog.  We ate lunch and went to the park with uncle Esli and aunt Christy.

It's time for Peter Piper Pizza!

Saturday night, we went to Peter Piper Pizza. The kids had a blast. My mom bought 100 coins and they spent it all in no time! Carson got to ride the front end loader, which lately, he has been fascinated with them! Luke's favorite part is actually putting the coins in the slot.

Papaw look, I'm riding a motorcycle!

"There are three things we DO NOT do" Papaw says, "we don't smoke, we don't drink and we don't ride motorcycles."

Super Bowl XLII

Natalia and Carson were so excited about the Super Bowl!  After shopping this afternoon, we got home and they got busy decorating their trays and getting all ready for the party!  --Poor Luke, he was not able to participate in the festivity tonight due to high fever.

All Mine...to manage!

One Technology Center is the name of the 15- story high building I manage. Some of the tenants are VA, BSG, The Hartford and others. My first day back at work, which was Tuesday, I had a meeting with the asset manager (my boss whose office is in Austin, TX :0)), along with the two leasing agents, the property accountant and the two building engineers. I was thinking it was only going to be a two hour meeting, at the most, but no....it lasted until 4:00 p.m. As you can imagine, after the meeting, I had a long list of things to do. Overall, it has been fun going back to work. Very busy and a lot of meetings, but fun. Today, we had a lunch meeting at the Cheesecake Factory. Now tell me, how bad can that be.
