Hi Again!

Yes, I've been a little quiet lately.  With the kids out of school it seems like we are busier now than ever.  Thank goodness school starts up again next Monday!  This year Brandon is moving to Villa Montessori and we are so excited.  He get's to be reunited with his friends Matthew and Max from from baseball.  Lizzie is #1 on the waiting list for Desert Mountain High School, so she will be starting the year at Coronado High until she gets accepted at Desert Mountain - hopefully sooner than later.  If you are wondering why?  Both of our children are special needs and need programs that cater to their strengths and challenges.  If you need information on any of the special needs programs in the area, I'm sure that we can be a wealth of information to you.

We were blessed to be able to spend my 40th birthday in San Diego for a week this July.  We enrolled Brandon in a baseball camp at our almamater USD, and we stayed at the Horton Grand in the Gaslamp Quarter.  What a great time that was.  In the 18 years that we've been away from San Diego, that city has grown so much.  PETCO Park was a great addition to downtown and we had a great time at a ballgame.  We also toured the Midway Aircraft Carrier - one of the highlights of the trip!

In the category of happy and sad news, we finally found a home for Turk last Friday.  If you remember, Turk was the 5-month old St. Bernard "puppy" that we were fostering for St. Bernard Rescue.  He was a great dog and Jennifer and the kids were begging to keep him as we all grew very attached to him.  Just before I was about to give in, a wonderful older couple from Sun Lakes took him to his new home.  We hated to see him go, but aldready have our two older Saints, it's probably for the best.  I can't wait to see him in a year and see how big he gets.  He should top 150 lbs by the llok of his feet!

As for the real estate market, I've actually had a great season.  My affiliation with Parent Relocation Council is paying off as home buyers and sellers are begging for what we can now offer by setting their homes apart from the competition and bringing new value to their sale.  The new marketing pieces are stunning, and definitely showcases my experience as being something more than the typical agent in my area.  I look forward to bigger and better things as the market continues to improve.

I hope all is well with you.  Drop me a note sometime.

Cheers!
