I Retired

Well, I know it ia a BIG step in life but the main/sole reason for retiring was to get back to work in order for my wife to be able to retire.  I wanted to do something special for her - so I figured if I could retire and then go back to work to make more money - then she could retire as well and enjoy life. She is a little older than me, so I think she deserves to have fun while she still is physically able.  Thank you to the State of Texas for me to be able to accomplish this monument...
