LANDSCAPING is 1/2 Complete

I know it's November, but we just had 1/2 of our landscaping installed, and we LOVE it! It's so nice to see a backyard with some grass. There is so much potential, and I can't wait for Spring to come so we can finish planting the rest of our plants.

Day 2 (we forgot to take pictures of Day 1)

Day 3 Sod is in and the planters are almost complete

Day 4 the Final Product with the rocks.

My first REO listing

I just got my first bank owned listing! I'm really not a listing agent, I prefer representing buyers ...however, beggar can't be choosers so I accepted the listing. And then I got out to the property and saw what I had decided to list. After it's cleaned up and the trash is gone, I'm sure it will be better. For now, here it is:

FLORIDA

We just got back from Florida on Sunday night, and it was so much fun! even though Kenyon had to go to Continuing Education.

When we got to Florida we rented a car, but found out that they didn't have any more of the type of car we reserved, so the person at the counter said, well would you be ok with a covertible, it's in the color that all convertibles should be...I reluctantly took the convertible as a trade :)
Our first day in Tampa, we went to Busch Gardens.
At Busch Gardens there are about 6 Roller Coasters and 2 Water rides. One of the Roller Coaster made me fear for my life! It's called the Sheikra. This is how we were harnassed in.

and here's someone else's video of the entire ride.

as you can imagine I began to question how much I loved my husband for making me go on this ride with him. However, it was AWESOME! WE loved it. I admit my knuckles were white and I was grasping on to the handles very tightly, but it was so fun! Among the roller coasters there is also an african safari zoo.

This hippo kept cruising along underwater doing laps.

After we left Busch Gardens in Tampa we stayed in Clearwater. Here is a view from our balcony

And this is how windy it was!

It was great! but as always it's nice to be home.

Oh My HECK!

I have finally been able to sit down and catch up on my friend's blogs. Real Estate has been kicking my trash lately. Yesterday I started work at 7:30AM, doing reports and all the other fun stuff I have to do now, and then I met some clients in my office, showed 8 properties, and wrote 3 Purchase Contracts, bought a rotisserie chicken for dinner and got home at 6:30 last night. Whew! I'm a tired girl.

Anyway, I found a post on my friend Carrie's blog that led to this blog. So, from now on, when I need a break I am definitely going to find out what's going on with my friend TAMN (Tiffany Amber Michelle Nicole) Seriously So Blessed

Check it out, you will laugh too.

JEROME!

I am trying harder to have time for day trips, but that also meant that after we got back from Jerome yesterday I was in the office until about 7:30 last night. But it's ok, it was a fun time!




First we walked around and explored the streets and all the little shops. Later, we ate lunch at the Haunted Hamburger. I give it a 2.5 out 5. Food was ok, the manager/owner,he's LAME!


I liked the Liberty Theater, they are renovating it and we got to look at the theater upstairs. This was Kenyon's most favorite part of the movie theater:


We even found an old Dentist office
Later, we even found a Christmas Store and purchased some Egyptian Glass Ornaments. It seems like that is becoming our tradition. However this time we got 3 Christmas Ornaments for less than the price of the 1 we purchased from Germany last year.
