Been so long

Oy. Sorry I haven't been keeping up.

Those of you who know me know that I have the attention span of a gnat, yet somehow have an amazing memory for details.

For example, this agent called today that we've been trying to lure to our brokerage. All he said was his name, and I remembered that he'd been on a cruise from the beginning of December through the 20th with his wife for their anniversary.

I've never met him, just spoken ONE TIME over the phone.

Who remembers shit like that??

Anyway, to update:

Life is pretty good, though not at all what we'd expected when we came out here. Who hasn't said that, though, right?

We were expecting my in-laws to not have moved out yet, but the anticipation, from both sides, was that they'd move out by October. And then the market crashed. Well, they lost more money than Luke and I made in a year in Atlanta combined, so naturally, they could not afford to move as they'd planned.

Which means that Luke and I are living in a bedroom upstairs, while all of our things are piled in poor Jim & Sara's garage, so they can only fit one car in. Living with my younger brother-in-law is great, though for the first time, I'm glad that I don't have a younger sibling.

Luke tried his hand at working for a theatre company in administration/management, but due to our inexperience in the area, he picked a stinker with a bad reputation who was way too disorganized for Luke to be able to help. He has since found a job teaching theatre after school with a great company called Junior Players Guild, and is happy as a clam doing it.

I worked for the Disney store, which is not the happiest place on earth, but I did like some of the people that I worked with. I then found a job at a shutters and blinds manufacturing company that hired me to run their office and do their marketing, and then refused to let me do either of those things. Finally, I found a job as an office manager for a real estate company, and again, I couldn't be happier! It's exactly the type of job that I want, even though one of my agents won't let me help her. I've found out the best real estate school, I'm making great money so we can pay off our debts... life is good.

We just got back from Florida for my family's Christmas, which turned into helping my brother move into his new house. I somehow managed to become very, very sick, so it was not as pleasant a time as it could have been. I also celebrated my 29th birthday on Janury 2nd, so I'm older as well as sick.

That's it for now, but I'm hoping to be able to update with random thoughts later. Much love!
