Subsidized

Wouldn't it be great if life were like a subsidized loan? I mean think about it: a subsidized loan, the borrower doesn't pay the interest, its paid for by a third party. 
So say in life: you need diapers. You go to the store and the person in line behind you buys them for you! It could happen!
But just like subsidized loans, all good things come to an end. Because you eventually have to change the diaper and its usually filled with a nice brown surprise. :)

Mishaps

~Monday~ Back at it after a much needed weekend. Yesterday I was out running errands when I walked out from paying for my gas for my car and a gentleman next to me says "Excuse me Miss? you have a flat tire".
Oh no!
At least I wasn't on showings and I didn't have my kids with me. Yes I now how to change a tire, however, since its been getting a bit warmer and the snow is melting, made a nice muddy pool for me to change it in! ;)
Which while I was down in the mud looking under my car for the spot to stick my jack, made me think that I was VERY glad I wasn't on showing. It also made me wonder if any of my friends, colleagues, or clients have had horror stories while looking at houses with a Realtor? I'd love to hear your stories! Please share!!!

First time home buyers

It seems like for at least the last few months, or even more recently the last 2 weeks, I have started working with new home buyers. Or if they are not new home buyers, its been several years since they have bought a home and the experience is like being a first timer. Honestly these are some of my favorite clientele to work with! Seeing their faces light up as they look through homes, picturing their things in the home, meals they will have with their families, the moment they realize "Yes, this is our new home"!
Thinking about this today inspired me to post a link for people who are considering purchasing a home for the first time. Even if its been a while since you have purchased a home, these tips will help you consider what options are best.
Please feel free to leave a comment!!!

My first day as a Blogger!!!

Ok, so this is literally my first attempt at blogging. And as my friend Natalie (who by the way helped me set this all up) can attest to the fact that I am in fact the "Rain Man" of bloggers!
It's about 7:00 PM MST on Wed and I'm sitting in my office (I work at Keller Williams Performance Realty in Alamosa, CO ) working on things I was not able to finish during the day. I have my son here an he just handed me his diaper. I guess he decided it wasn't needed....Which typically this would not bother me being a mom and all, but my office is located on a storefront on the main street of our town.....need I say more?
**Pause while I find the diaper bag*.......
So begins my blog! Hope to hear from anyone and everyone interested!
