Get My Broker's License

I passed my broker's test in November, but TREC (TX Real Estate Commission) has been back logged so it never showed up officially on their website since they hadn't processed it. I didn't want to mark it off until I actually received my license. Here it is, although I don't think it looks super official!

January Recap

Here is a recap of what I've done so far:

1. Run a 5k - I bought an app & have done the first training. It was harder than I thought! I want this done by May (before it gets too hot).

3. Blog about 30 under 30 - so far so good
5. Master Greek Dishes - halfway done. I need to plan another cooking day with Yiayia.
9. Host a formal dinner party - planned, just need to mail invites
15. Learn/invest in stock market - set up an appointment with our Edwards Jones advisor
16. Read One Year Bible - have the Bible but haven't started...I need to step it up!


20. Sell $6 million in RE - 1/6 of the way there with 1/6 of the year almost behind us. Right on track.
22. Get my Broker's license - passed the test (in November)!! Waiting on TREC to process & send it to me
28. Take at least 1 picture of RH & I every month - January done!
We're at Kyle's 30th bday bash - ghetto style
Barnaby Winter Party - Black Tie

Master Greek Dishes - Moussaka, Pastitsio

Yiayia & I cooked Moussaka together on Jan 23rd. It is a layered Greek casserole with potatoes, eggplant, ground beef & bechamel sauce (cream sauce). It is delicious & one of my favorites, however I didn't realize how labor intensive it is to make. It took the two of us over 4 HOURS to make. We had fun & I enjoyed the time with Yiayia, but I was exhausted! The thing about Greek cooking is that you can have multiple recipes & different spellings for the same dish, so it's not as simple as following the recipe. We combined Yiayia's 2 recipes that she uses and I wrote it down step by step. So now I have her official Moussaka recipe to make exactly how she makes it!
Pastitsio has the same meat & bechamel sauce, but noodles instead of the vegetables. I should have no trouble making this.
