Happy Birthday Dad, Papa, Grumpola! ❤️

Here is a little diddy about my Dad on his birthday and how I got into triathlon…

Sometime a long time ago, when I was about 19 or 20, I casually mentioned to Dad that I wanted to try a triathlon.

My brother Joe and I grew up competitive swimming. We had friends who were elite triathletes in the IronKids program and even swam with a future Olympian in triathlon. Naturally, I was curious!

Well, apparently that one little comment was all Dad needed.

Unbeknownst to me, he signed BOTH of us up for the Danskin Triathlon. 😂

For those who remember Danskin, it was a WOMEN’S ONLY race! I’m still not sure how registration allowed him to sign up. But this was the early 2000s, and the internet was still working out its kinks. Never mind that the race title actually said Women’s Triathlon. Dad was excited and probably didn’t read all the details. 😂

Anyway, we started training. Me on my mountain bike and Dad on his road bike. I remember getting SO mad because he would drop me on the long straightaways of Blanco Road in San Antonio!

Then Dad casually shared another little detail.

He had signed me up for the ELITE category for my FIRST triathlon!!!

I was mortified! I’d NEVER done a triathlon! His reasoning? I was a competitive swimmer, so he figured it made sense. 🤦‍♀️

And that was the beginning of triathlon for me. Several seasons of training and racing with Dad, long drives to Lubbock and wherever else the races took us, and so many great memories.

It’s also how I met James. But that’s a story for another day! ❤️

Looking back, this is one of MANY examples of how Mom and Dad have always supported their kids. They encouraged us to try new things and truly believed we could do anything, even when we weren’t so sure ourselves!

I love that one little comment turned into something that became such a big part of my life. All because Dad decided we were going to give it a go!

As Dad always says, “La Vida!” ❤️

Dad, I hope you and Mom are having the best time at your 50-year college reunion and visiting Grandma!

Happiest of Birthdays!!! Love you, Dad! ❤️

Going back to my roots… one 5 AM swim at a time. 🏊‍♀️

Growing up in St. Louis, swimming was a big part of my life—and 5 AM practices before school were part of the routine. Fast-forward a few years 😉 and somehow I’ve found myself right back where I started…in the pool before the sun comes up! Atleast in Austin your hair doesn’t freeze swimming during the winter months!

These days, it’s 5 AM swims with the UT Masters group, and I’ve been consistently getting in the pool. I’m definitely noticing the fitness gains—feeling stronger, building endurance, and remembering how much I love swimming and the friends! 🧡🤘

There’s something pretty special about driving through a quiet Austin before sunrise, seeing that Longhorn glowing in the distance, and then jumping into the pool at UT.

And apparently some things haven’t changed…when you swim THAT early, sometimes by later in the day I completely forget I already worked out. 😂 It’s like getting credit for a workout I don’t even remember doing!

Two swims a week. A very early alarm. Lots of laps. And a little trip back to my swimming roots.

Turns out, you really can come full circle. 🏊‍♀️

Hook ’em and just keep swimming! 🤘🧡 Thank you Coach Whitney!!!

✨✨Special financing alert!!!✨✨

💰 A lower payment to start in a home you’ll love? 👀🏡

🚪 13501 Metric Blvd #3 is listed at $349,999, best priced home in the neighborhood! We’ve partnered with JVM Lending who is offering to credit the cost of a 2-1 rate buydown for qualified buyers.
👀 What does that mean for a Buyer? That could mean a payment nearly $400 less per month in year one and about $200 less per month in year two!
🏡 This detached home in gated Scofield Farms Meadows has 3 bedrooms, a first-floor primary suite, a second living area, and a dedicated office. It’s a great opportunity to get into the neighborhood with some breathing room in your monthly payment to start.
🔑 DM me for the financing details and to schedule a tour! 🔑
***Payment savings are estimates and depend on loan terms and buyer qualification. Taxes, insurance, and HOA dues are separate from the rate buydown.***

Happenings on our evening walk! I’m in the midst of a September step challenge. Not only have I increased my average daily steps, this challenge has gotten the family out on some evening walks.
Things are getting spooky in Allandale 👀🎃💀🧙‍♀️

Come tour 2012 Goodrich Avenue with me! 😍

We had the opportunity to walk through this incredible project by Jack Boothe, presented by MJ McFarland. Both homes are still under construction, but you can already see them coming to life through Jack Boothe’s creative eye. From the beautiful pools and thoughtfully designed indoor-outdoor living spaces to the luxurious primary suites created as private retreat for an owner to relax and recharge, every detail feels perfectly suited for the Austin lifestyle. Even mid-construction, I was ready to move in!

And the location? It’s hard to beat. Living here means Barton Springs for a morning swim 🏊‍♀️, Lady Bird Lake for a run or bike ride 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️, Zilker Park for an afternoon outside, Downtown Austin just minutes away, and ACL practically in your backyard.

Add in the local restaurants, beautiful trees, walkable streets, and original Austin charm, and you can see why Zilker continues to be one of Austin’s most loved neighborhoods. 🌳

If you lived at 2012 Goodrich, where would we find you first: Barton Springs, Lady Bird Lake, Zilker Park, or relaxing beside your own pool? I’d be out on the trail for sure! Message me for more information!
