Livin the Dream

Lovin Puerto Vallarta!

So I’ve been an official Expat for just over two weeks. Wisest decision of my life. Do I miss Laydin? Heck yeah! Do I miss the fur babies? Of course. Did it need to happen? It did indeed!

Our goal was to not only get me out of the country before the idiot took office, but also before the Texas Legislature reconvened. We were successful.

I’ve done a lot in those two weeks. I wrote The End on Chasing Her Scent, which will be out this fall. Laydin calls this my Hemingway Period. LOL

I’ve also enjoyed numerous beaches, both near and far, tried several Piña Coladas, and have enjoyed delicious tequila.

So, the goal is to keep you abreast of my writing and my life as an expat. Maybe something you learn here will be helpful if you plan on leaving the states.

Hit me up with questions and comments!

  • Everybody has seen the news about what happened here the 22nd. It was scary and surreal to see the smoke coming from town as we learned of what was happening Don’t ask me why I was driving toward it….LOL. Anyway. Things up here on the mountain were torched as well as in town. Not as…

  • Just a few updates

    First of all, I want to take a moment to wish my incredible wife a happy birthday!She is my love, my rock, and my shelter regardless of the storm. I can’t imagine navigating this adventure called life with anyone else. A couple other major things about today: It’s Mardi Gras! Wooooot! Celebrate accordingly! It’s also…
