My wife and I flew in to Nashville to see some friends of ours and man the change in weather alone is worth the trip. Instead of 95+ with 90% humidity we're looking at some mid-80's temperatures. Perfect weather to be outside. I'm not really sure what all is in store for our time here but I know it's going to be awesome. One thing I'm definitely looking forward to is the fireworks display on July 4th. Back to the future right? It's ranked the 2nd best in the nation and I can't wait to see it. Other than that it's going to be relaxing and doing whatever we feel like doing. Enjoy the time with family and friends this holiday weekend.
I didn't make any purchases this past week, although it was a holiday shortened week. I came close to making a few buys but we got some good jobs report numbers and a much better mood from Mr. Market which quickly shot some companies away from my buy zones. Oh well, eventually there will be other opportunities to add to great companies. I did recently add to my position in both Procter & Gamble (Full Analysis Here) and Deere & Company which you can read about here if you're interested. The really exciting thing was getting to tally up all of the dividends I received in June though. I passed the $600 mark for the first time which was awesome. It's amazing to see the dividends growth month after month.

Well this past week was just grinding away in the blistering heat down here in south Texas. Luckily I don't actually work outside but man it was extremely hot. We should be able to finish this well up sometime this weekend and I can't wait...

I love this time of year. There's a chill in the air. Fires and food are plenty. And let's not forget the best part, getting to spend time with your family and friends. Unfortunately I'll be working yet again, but I was thankfully...

It's been a pretty busy week but also a relaxing week. I've been on vacation this past week, although all I've done is be at the house. I've been working on a bunch of stuff around the house and also with the blog. My wife and I...

I can't believe that another week and month have come and gone. Last weekend I had a great time with my wife and friends as we headed up to one of their lake houses and got to go have a great time relaxing. And it didn't hurt that we got to...
