Appointments preferred.
When their biological father (we call him the bio-dad) left us, Amy (on the right) was nine and Meredith was twelve. I was just 32. My parents were dead and I lived a three hour drive from my remaining family. It was just us girls against the world.
I decided to go to college and my daughters did everything they could to support that. Everything about their lives had changed except me. I knew I was the only constant in their lives and I took that very seriously. Many nights I woke up in a cold sweat and total panic not sure if I was up to the task.
Here they are a few months ago. We made it! Can you tell what fun they have together?
Both girls live close enough for me to drive to their homes in fifteen or twenty minutes. Meredith is a full-time homemaker and mother of Jackson, age 5 and Tyler, age 3. Amy is a wife, mother of four year old Tanner and a REALTOR. I cherish my relationship with them and am grateful for the years of struggle we shared to get to today.
I'm glad I discovered the real estate profession because it allows me the freedom to enjoy my family. I thank God every day for growing up with my girls.
Next week, thanks to a very generous Christmas gift from my husband Ted, Meredith, Amy and I are going to Paris for a week. Just us girls. Be sure, there will be more posts about that. Au Revoir

Moby Dick was not just a fish.
About six month ago I walked into my bank to ask for a refinance on my business to free up some cash flow so I might be able to stay in business until income increased. (What am I saying, ...increased? I should say returned.) I was dejected and discouraged. On the desk of my lender was a fish bowl with a beautiful Beta Fish. I commented on how pretty it was and she explained that she needed something on her desk that made her feel calm and peaceful.
I left there and went straight to the fish store and adopted Moby Dick. For six months I came in every morning and smiled and talked to Moby. I gave him his pellets of food and began my work day, calm, peaceful and happy. I couldn't take him for walks or snuggle with him on the sofa but his calm meandering around the water made me smile and gave me one more thing to smile about.
Yesterday Moby died. It wasn't as traumatic as when my dog Casey died recently, but it was sad and I'll miss my fish. Good bye, Moby Dick. Soon I'll get another.
How to Start a Fish Bowl. When you choose a fish bowl, pick a big one: at least one-gallon. You'll also need a small 3" wide fish net, two 1-gallon bottles of drinking water not distilled or de-ionized water, and some floating fish food. Together floating fish food that is labeled for your type of fish plus some freeze dried blood worms, which are actually mosquito larvae, make an excellent diet for the fish in your fish bowl. Don't buy or use fish food that sinks and remember, the # 1 cause of home fish deaths is overfeeding.
This is Moby with my toy Monkey, Henry.

Easter is a very important holiday to me as a Christian and also as a Mother and Grandmother. While the most important part of the holiday is the remembrance of the very basis of my faith, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I also enjoy all the secular fun.
Growing up there were Easter dresses, Easter baskets and Easter egg hunts. It was the beginning of spring and pretty colors and green grass and almost the end of the school year. What a glorious time for children!
Now that I'm a senior (wow, how did that happen?) it's such fun to see the grandchildren enjoying the Easter Bunny and hunting for eggs and yes, they even enjoy going to Sunday School.
My grandsons are 3, 4 and 5 and they are just beginning to understand some of the meanings of seasons. This year I want to tell them about children in the early days of our country. The boys would make a nest in their caps and the girls in their bonnets in anticipation of the Easter bunny filling them with colored eggs.
My daughters, sons-in-law and grandsons will follow us home from church on Easter Sunday. We'll all get into our casual clothes and while the women cook a traditional Easter lunch which always includes deviled eggs, the children will play with the bunnies I made for them and the men will sneak over to the playground to hide many colored eggs.
After lunch we'll all walk over and watch the boys with their Easter baskets running around and gleefully shouting, "here's another one." as they find the eggs and enjoy being together.
Happy Easter Everyone!

What a lucky girl I am. I live on one of the outer banks islands off the shore of North Carolina. I've lived here for about fifteen years and I can't imagine living anywhere else. My little neighborhood is called Beacon's Reach because we can see the lighthouse beacon from Cape Lookout. When I walk the beach early in the morning before daylight I'm walking straight toward the light. What a wonderful sense of peace and safety it gives me.
I won't attempt to tell you the tournist talk. You can google for yourself and learn all you want to know about Cape lookout from that perspective but you can only know what if feels like by seeing for yourself. Come see soon.
Ready for adventure, fun, relaxation, or history. Come to the coast of North Carolina and spend some time getting sand between your toes. You may decide to stay.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit." --- Aristotle
The Dream Team
Testomonials: Marian Goetzinger helped us buy our island home in 2002. She did a great job and we were very impressed with her talent. We never considered anyone other than Marian when the time came to sell that property in 2007. Marian and her team handled every detail and the house sold quickly. They were always available to answer any question and do whatever it took to get the job done. We consider Marian our realtor and we are very lucky to have her on our side of the table.

Our beach home purchasing experience with Pine Knoll Shores Realty (PKSR) was quite pleasant due to Marian Goetzinger.Since this was our first purchase of coastal real estate we were a little anxious. Though PKSR was representing the seller, our questions, concerns and issues were treated with the highest level of respect and professionalism while the integrity of the seller/agent relationship was very well maintained by PKSR. Since the closing, Marian Goetzinger of PKSR has on maintained not just a business relationship with us. After the recent Carteret tax re-evaluation we had questions and concerns about the property value.We had not seen Marian since the closing, only email contact, but the feeling that I received during the closing caused me to believe that I could contact her with our concerns about the tax re-evaluation. Not only did Marian listen to our concerns, Marian took the time to look into our property tax card and provided help with our concerns. - David *************************************************
Pine Knoll Shores Realty works cooperatively with you to sell or buy your home. We did both. Within 8 weeks of putting our house on the market, it was sold and we were able to buy the house we wanted. Marian Goetzinger and her entire staff of professionals are always available and ready to listen to what YOU want. They know the area well and are efficient in finding and showing houses that match what you're looking for. You are kept informed and your questions answered honestly and quickly.

Marian,
I wanted to take a moment, now that we are through the Holiday Season, to say "Thank You" for everything you have done for my wife Kristin and I. Your guidance, honesty, and attention to detail has allowed us to be very fortunate in all of our Crystal Coast real estate ventures. Your professionalism, area knowledge and expertise is unsurpassed in the Atlantic Beach-Pine Knoll Shores area. Your time, and the time your husband Ted have graciously shared with Kristin and I is very much appreciated, and we look forward to working with you both in the future to help fulfill our Crystal Coast dreams! We appreciate the assistance we have received from the Pine Knoll Shores Realty staff, as well as the efforts you and Ted have put forth on our behalf ...especially since we are living so far away in Dallas. Be well, and we hope to see you soon.
Ken and Kristin Rozewski
McKinney, Texas
P.S. Meanwhile...we'll just enjoy your wonderful website!
First and foremost we were so impressed with Marian's knowledge of Pine Knoll Shores and every amenity the community has to offer perspective buyers. All telephone calls and e-mails were returned very promptly. Any suggestions we offered were always treated with professionalism. It was a "good fit" and we thank Marian and her team for making our sale happen! Bill & Pat Madson
