and I love living in the Montrose part of Houston. On a walk a few blocks from our house the Night Herons come to roost and the babies were just coming out to see the world. You could hear them from blocks away. Such beautiful moments before the heavy rains came through and beautiful to see the next generation of birds that will be back to start new lives next year.

Last week’s culinary masters dinner was amazing and it was about the people, not just the guest who were awesome but the chefs and the team. It was a pleasure to cook with and the team from . Getting to hang out with and seeing friends like and make trips like this special! Enjoy the moments

This morning we woke up to a beautiful surprise in our front yard which symbolizes a focus on screening and early detection for cancer. This acts as a visual prompt for mammograms and self-exams to identify cancer early. and I would be in a very different place right now if it weren’t for Lindsey being diligent about making sure that she was getting not just mammograms but also ultrasounds. once spoke about having dense breasts and this being the path and Lindsey chose that path as well so a big thank you to her as well. We would like to thank whomever was so kind to do this to make our day brighter, you are so thoughtful and amazing.

Tomorrow marks a big day for us as heads into surgery for a double mastectomy and full reconstruction as she continues her journey through the Topaz Trial. This is a reminder that you can do your early testing as well, they aren’t just for if you are diagnosed but to help with before. I will forever be a fan of the medical teams that everyday work with love and compassion to help people with their journey. You all are so fantastic!
