Snow Snow Snow

Were else can you see a palm tree, pine tree, and snow covered mountains. I also think it's fun to see our big oak trees in the middle of the roads throughout town.

The house that closed friday

Here is the happy family that purchased the house that closed on Friday. :) It was great to give them a framed copy of it today. We also decided to frame a 4x6 picture of each family we move into a home in front of their new home, so we can create a wall of inspiration in our office at the office.

Opening the door of their first home, Mark Natalie and Semi....aahhhhh. Sniff Sniff.

It's finally here

We are soooo excited today. A house that we sold back on October 19 2007 is finally ready to receive it's new owners. This home is closing two weeks late due to some unexpected issues, so I was a little nervous calling in this morning to see if title recoreded and I teared up when I heard my favorite word "yes". We called the new home owners and set up a meeting for 2:30 to give them the keys to their brand new house and of course our "Welcome Home" basket of fun stuff. :) I will try to get some pictures to post of this very exciting day. Steven will be happy when he finds out that they scheduled for after school so he could be their. They felt it was only fair since he did spend hours and hours with all of us during this long process.

This is what it's all about I tell ya. Getting a paycheck isn't to bad either :)

Not easy come...Not easy go

Well the house I sold Friday is going back on the market, the family that was trying to purchase it had to back out of the deal. I am very sad for them, but we will keep trying and we will get them in a home. In the mean time, I will find a family for this awesome home!!! I am on a mission.

Steven's little friend Oliver has been coming home with us each day after school and he stays until around 6:30. It has been so much fun having him here. He is a sweet little guy and is on one of the same medicines that Steven is on. Anyway he will go to his new sitter starting next week, but I hope we can still have him one day a week because he and Steven really do get along well.

Our new car went in to get it's sealant put on today. They did the inside only as we discovered hard water spots on the windows and paint and I found a scratch that I want fixed, so Monday they will be taking care of the outside issues then putting the sealant on it. On the downside, while Scott was driving it to Selma, a semi in front of him threw a rock and put a chip in the window. That will be fixed next week as well. When I get it back I will take the pictures I have been promising.

I just had to share this picture taken by my mom and dad of the squirrel that visits their home for his meals. Isn't he just cute.

The house I sold Friday

In a Cul-de-sac so it allows for the long driveway.

This home is 3092 sq feet.

This is your view form the entryway.

The loft above the entry door. Awesome kitchen with the cherry cabinets. Granite counters
18x18 travertene flooring

Huge walk in master closet, no joke it is larger the Steven's bedroom.
Master Bathroom
View of the loft from upstairs.

Backyard is small because the house takes up so much of the lot.
Looking down from the loft.

looking from the sitting area to the bedroom area of the master suite. (no joke the sitting area could hold 2 couches, entertainment center, coffe table and an over stuffed chair. Not counting decorations and such.

This house is just so neat.

"Mom we need to go on a date"

So at Steven's request we went on a date. We each got vanilla lattes, washed the new car, and went to the movies. We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks and it was cute as heck. We laughed and laughed and laughed. After the movie we went to the pet store and purchased a new fish. Our Betta "swimmy" died while we were in Cancun so we needed a new one. We are now the proud owners of Zachary the red Betta. Steven indicated when Zachary dies this year when we are in Cancun, we will by a new one and name him Cody. We sure go through a lot of fish around here. We topped off our night with enchiladas and Star Wars Legos on the Wii.

This morning I was up bright and early so I cooked us cheese omelets, toast, banana, and milk. mmm mmm mmm. Then I dropped him off at school and did the happy dance of freedom. Too bad I had to get straight to work as I had new clients meeting with me today.

Well I am off to take some pictures of the new house I sold Friday. I will post them on this blog because this home is beautiful.

Pardon Me, Do You Have Any Grey Poupon?

Do you remember these commercials? Well, we are old enough to remember these commercials and we just assume everyone will know what we are talking about and laugh hysterically when we pull up to them and ask the famous question......note to self ..not the case.

One of my clients was walking to her car and I pulled up beside her and asked the famous question, she looked at me with big eyes and said "you have got to be kidding me....how the heck did I get poop on me? Where is it? I don't want to get it in the car? Great, do you have a napkin or something so I can try to get it off."....she said more but this is all I can remember. I was so shocked by her reaction that it took me a minute to process what was happening, I tried to explain, then I started laughing so hard I was crying. My client did not... I repeat ...did not find it as funny as I did. I think all I got was a courtesy laugh and I'm sure that was just because I apologized profusely.

I could be wrong, but I don't think I will be hearing from her again real soon. Glad we already sold her a house as it just might be the last one we sell her. :)
