It’s that time of year again where we reflect on the last 12 months and wonder where time flew. I can’t thank you enough for your continued friendship, loyalty and business. Once again, we had a record year, and I could not have done any of this without your support — Thank you!
While selling homes may seem like work, coming home to 3 wild kids is even more labor intensive.
Joey (who now insists on being called “Joseph”), is now in 1st grade – the same school I went to. He enjoys authoring and illustrating his own books and riding his bike more recklessly than Evel Kneivel. He can provide directions better than any navigation system and knows exact coordinates wherever we may end up.
Nicole is by far the most level-headed among the 5 of us. She brings peace and harmony to our home and never complains about anything. She’s happy in any given circumstance and helps us with everything! She loves having ketchup on practically anything that’s consumable and has the largest collection of naked Barbie dolls.
Melanie is the glue that keeps everything together. For an entire year since she was born, we thought we had created a monster — she never stopped yelling or crying. Thankfully, that stopped! Now, she’s in the cutest stage ever as she mumbles her 10 word vocabulary each day. She’s got a jab that nobody can dodge and insists on carrying a book everywhere she goes.
Mania is the woman that brings chaos to a minimum. She’s a drill sergeant in the mornings while getting the kids ready for school and can maneuver an extended Escalade better than most can do with a Toyota Prius. She has more patience than ever, but when she suddenly gets that twitch in her face, immediate evacuation is usually recommended. As a pharmacist, she normally gets us all drugged up before symptoms even have a chance to start. I love her to pieces and can’t ask for a better friend for life and a mother for our kids.
Aside from finishing my diet that’s normally on “hold”, my 2016 goal is to truly cherish the friends we have while spending as much time as I can with my family. Time does fly, and we’ve gotta embrace every moment of it. Selling homes has been more of a lifestyle than an occupation and the countless friendships that have been developed as a direct result of it, is amazing.
I wish you a blessed holiday season filled with success,
happiness and a stellar 2016.
Cheers from our home to yours!
