2009- What a Year!

It's been quite a year for me, both personally and professionally.

First and most exciting- the birth of my first baby! We named him Jason Charles. He was born June 15, 2009 at 5:35 p.m. I was in labor for 36 hours and ended up having a c-section after all that hard work! He was just not coming out any other way. Being a parent is amazing! Here are some pictures of him at 5 months- he's just growing like a weed!

Professionally this has been a very tough year. As if it's not hard enough being pregnant, working, taking care of my sick doggy (and saying goodbye to her), having a baby etc, I certainly got no break on my real estate sales this year. I will just summarize it by saying that taking a leave of absence can be detrimental to your business. I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as an easy sale- whatever can go wrong will go wrong, we just have to work together to solve it. I'm looking forward to 2010, how about you?

P.S. anyone who wants to know- Jason has already started working with me! He's been to several house showings, a closing, an office meeting, a client meeting etc. He's going to be a great real estate salesman!
