It was snowing this evening in Northside. We were supposed to get a snow squall. But this is what we got instead as seen from our bedroom window…

This photo popped up in my Timehop today from a year ago…
It was the start of the new parking garage on Sycamore between Seventh and Eighth Streets. And here’s a picture of what that project looks like today…

The garage has been completed, and is open for business. A large part of the building is covered with siding and over half of the building has the windows installed. That’s a lot of progress in a year. It still has a long way to go but it’s still lot of progress nonetheless.
I wonder how many apartment units this building will house, and what will be the starting price for those apartments. Just out of curiosity, I looked at the this this place’s sister property Seven at Broadway to see where those prices started, a one bedroom at Seven started at $1555-1655. YIKES! I imagine these will be in that same ballpark if not a little higher. Also out of curiosity, I looked to see where the starting prices were in our old building, Sycamore Place and our one-bedroom B unit now starts at $1355. With prices like those, it makes our house look like the deal of the century. And I think it really is. 🙂

Happy Boxing Day! The day after Christmas and it was almost 70º outside. It felt like Spring. We watched a bunch of soccer this morning and took Oscar for a couple of long walks around our neighborhood. It was so pretty outside…
We were thinking about walking down to Urban Artifact this afternoon before the Cowboys Monday Night Football game. But then the clouds rolled in and it started raining. Maybe next weekend, we’ll be able to get back to Urban Artifact. 🙂

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Our first Christmas in our new house…
Santa remembered to stop at our house!
Oscar got a new dog bed for the first floor…
We had cinnamon walnut coffee cake from Genifer’s aunt and uncle for breakfast…
Later, we went over to Genifer’s mom’s house where it looked like Christmas exploded…
It was another really great Christmas! Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful gifts. We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!🙂

Oscar helped me wrap some presents this afternoon…
We tried to get Oscar to wear his reindeer antlers but he wasn’t having it…
We enjoyed some of the finest meats and cheeses in all the land while we watched some NFL Thursday Night Special football games on Saturday…
Genifer frosted some Christmas cookies…
And all our little Christmas trees were ready for their big day…

We got stuck at crossing waiting on this train carrying car chassis…
It went on and on and on. And as soon as we could see the end another train emerged from behind the first train going the opposite direction. Finally, we could see the end of the second train. And at the next light, we got stuck behind a funeral procession. Sometimes when it rains, it pours. Taken with Instagram. 🙂

There was a beautiful sunrise this morning as we were getting ready for work…
And from the bus, it looked like there was also an amazing sunset on the way home…
Beautiful bookends to the day. 🙂

Today was the annual Deskey holiday luncheon…
We had roast beast and mashed potatoes catered in for lunch…
Delicious stuff! My contribution to the Deskey white elephant gift exchange was this silly cute Starbucks barista bear and a $10 Starbucks gift card…
I ended up with a pet rock shaped like a turtle. How adorable were these cookies…
It was another really fun afternoon at a great company. 🙂
