Ok, I'm SOOOO excited I can hardly stand it. My old digital camera broke about 6 months ago. I've been holding off on purchasing a new one because I just couldn't decide on what I really wanted. So, after reading the reviews online and here no ActiveRain, I finally made a choice. I ordered the 
It's supposed to ship sometime next week and I'm just dying to get out and use it. My first project is a photo tour of the LaGrange, KY area, so be watching for it in the next few weeks! We're going to have fun!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!
Hunting for Easter Eggs is always fun - it doesn't matter if you're 2 years old or 80 years old. Finding a prize is always fun. I remember one Easter in particular. My sister and I had to be about 7 and 5 (I being older) and we were out in the back yard playing and we kept finding black jelly beans in the grass. It was the coolest thing (you know, back in the good old days when no one was really paranoid about eating things that fell in the dirt?)! My sister and I ran around the yard collecting all of these jelly beans in the yard and having the best time.
Anyway, in the spirit of the Easter Egg hunt and good memories, here are a list of local places that are offering Easter Egg hunts for the kiddos! Make sure you bring your camera and your video camera - it's sure to be a good time.

Due to having a baby in April, I am currently not selling real estate. I expect to start again sometime in 2010. Thanks for visiting!
Welcome to my home on Active Rain! I'm so glad you stopped by to visit. Since you're here, let me tell you all about little ole me :) I live in LaGrange, KY with my husband, daughter, and my bernese mountain dog, Jager.
We have a fairly small house and my daughter and the dog let us live there. :)
I have lived in the Louisville, KY area almost all my life; and just recently moved to Oldham County about 6 years ago. We love it here. The feeling of family and community that Oldham County offers has just been amazing! The only exception to my time in Kentucky is my first two years of life when I lived in Pennsylvania. Since I don't remember those years, they don't count :)
When I'm not selling Real Estate, I am a PTA Vice President and I do medieval recreation through a group called the Society for Creative Anachronsims (SCA for short - that's a mouthful!). My husband is more involved in the SCA than I am - here's a picture of what we do:
Pretty crazy huh? I promise, most times, no one gets hurt! :)
That's about it! I'm not super exciting, but I am very loyal and hard working. I treat everyone as I would want to be treated and work hard to make everyone happy.
Want to know a little more about me? Just ask! I'm an open book (well mostly)!
Use this section to write about your specific areas of expertise. Do you specialize in first time buyers - listing high end homes - etc. Are there specific market area's that you specialize in? The more you write about your area's of expertise the more knowledgeable you'll sound to a potential buyer or seller.
We would like to thank you for your service and assistance in the sale of our house on Rolling Hills Trail in Fisherville.
You provided us with quality service, and attention to detail. As you originally outlined in your plan, there was a regular schedule of open houses and advertisements in multiple publications and websites.
There was a contract on the house in 76 days, and it was only 18 more days before closing. Considering what the average listing to closing time has been in this area over the last few year we thought this was amazing.
We have also been very happy in our new home! When we first began looking we had a general idea about the type of house we thought we wanted. After looking at quite a few homes, and deciding the features we liked and did not, you found just the right home for us. I still remember when you sent us the listing for the house we eventually purchased. You said "this is the one", and sure enough, it was!
We would certainly recommend you to others, and wish you success in the future.
Yours truly,
Richard & Linda Bartlett, Crestwood, KY
Kelly helped us so much! My wife and I were relocating to Des Moines, Iowa from Louisville and did not know where to start in finding a realtor. Kelly along with Semonin Realtors connected us with a realtor up in Des Moines that matched perfectly with our personality. Also, Kelly helped us to find a loan officer so that we could get pre-approved for a loan before we went up to Des Moines to look for a house. Having Kelly make connections for us in this way really helped to take the stress out of relocating. The realtor that Kelly set us up with helped us to find the perfect house for us and our four children. Kelly is not just a professional, but someone who is a friend and really cares about helping someone find their perfect home, even if it is out of state. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone who is either looking for their first home, new home or even selling their home.
