Thank you, David. Good morning. And once again, we thank you for joining Whitestone's first quarter 2024 earnings conference call. Let me begin by saying that we are very focused on delivering solid, consistent results for shareholders and our first quarter results are exactly that. We put out our 2024 full year guidance less than two months ago with strong core FFO per share growth of 11%, a robust same-store NOI growth target and a goal to beat last year's record occupancy finish. The team is delivering, and we are on track with our internal forecast and reaffirming our previously issued guidance.
