First Choice Viewpoint

I am up and running with a new laptop. A little about us:

Theresa— I started my career one week out of high school when I went to Parris Island, SC for Marine Corps boot camp. I trained as a combat correspondent, i.e. journalist, but in the civilian pre-internet world, that was a highly competitive vocation that required much formal education and didn’t pay particularly well. I wandered into restaurant/ retail management until I met Orlando in 2006. We met at a busy crossroads of life where he was busting his hide at 3 jobs and I was struggling with 2 jobs.

Over the course of months, trying to find careers, we both wandered into the Border Patrol, him as a telecommunications specialist, and me as an agent. He’s still a satellite/ camera/ radio genius, but I have since moved to Customs officer. Orlando moved to Eagle Pass and bought the ranch in 2011, and I followed a year later. We started with 20 acres of raw property of hard, unforgiving rocky soil with a 900 square foot cinderblock cabin.

In 2016, Orlando’s daughter turned 18, so we embarked upon our next adventure, find 2 brothers in the Texas foster care system in need of a family. Almost immediately we were presented with Eric, 10, and Scott, 7, runty biological brothers who had been abandoned by their bio adults, and suffered 2 failed adoptions. Their problems were significant. Now at 17 and 15, they are tall, healthy and friendly, still managing their struggles, but doing well in school and adapted to mainstream living. They will be your hosts, eager to offer you a tour, meet your basic requests and insure needs are met.

We are guaranteeing zero amenities, beyond a safe and pretty place to gather. We are working, however, to provide a comfortable and majestic viewing experience, and hope every extra will be an unexpected delight.
