SOoooooo, I am still alive!!

I have been a total slacker with my lack of posts, but I have a good excuse...I quit my job! Yeah, you heard right...I quit my job.

I am now a full time real estate agent, and I'm starting to wonder why I didn't do this sooner (my old boss told me that it would not take long for me to be asking myself that, and he was right!). This is my second week as a full time agent, but I have been in the business for over 2 years. In the last 2 years, I've been working very long hours and weeks to make my business get off the ground (hence, the absence of posts lately because I've been busier than ever). I'm now to the point where I feel like I can sustain myself and my business. I love being my own boss and making my own schedule, and while I'm busy, I'm never too busy for referrals, so for all of you out there that read this blog, if you know someone that is ready to buy or sale a home and lives in Central Florida, let me know!!!

Jeff is super supportive of me in my kinda new career...he's my cheerleader! He tells me everyday how proud he is of me, and that in itself keeps me going. It feels so good to have a husband that stands behind me and cheers me on in doing what I am coming to realize that I love and was created to do.

Well, let's see...what else has been going on?? We've been gearing up for football season, and it kicked off last weekend, and we had a great time tailgating with our awesome friends!! Jeff got a Weber grill that we take to the tailgate, and he is just super excited about it...he's like a little kid with a new toy! :-) UCF won the season opener, and now we're headed to Mississippi this next weekend for our first conference match-up with Southern Miss.

What else...I'm going on a Women's Retreat with the church next weekend, and I'm really excited about that (Liz is going too, and that's exciting!!). The women at my church are great, and I'm really looking forward to spending the weekend with them in a relaxing environment where we can grow stronger in our relationships with each other and more importantly with God. It's sure to be a great weekend.

One last thing...I miss my friends from my old job!! They were such good people to work with!! I wish I could have them to work with every day in real estate...hey, there's an idea...when I'm a million dollar agent (don't worry...it WILL happen!), I can hire them to work for me. Does that sound pompous/arrogant?? I don't mean for it to, but I'm just determined to be a super star real estate agent, and what better way to be able to see/work with my old friends, than to have them work in my company (one day...).

Okay, well that's all I have for now. Hopefully I'll have more time now to squeeze in a post at least once per week.
