Retirement? Kinda…

Hey Yall!
Well, Katie and I put it our resignation at Red Robin!! Our last day will be Sunday, October 8th! It has come to the time where Katie needs more time for School, I need more time for Real Estate & we REALLY need our weekends together! We’ve been missing time with one another like crazy lately! And also, with me so close to having my license, I need to be as prepared as possible and that means more study & more readiness to take on clients on my part.
This next week, I will be interviewing several different Real Estate agencies. I will most likely go with Lindsey & Associates but I want the other agencies to know that I’m out there & I want to know what they offer. Being with Lindsey has been a lot of fun & I already know many of the agents so it would be the most logical place for me to stay due to the good relationships already developed there. They also take care of MANY of your business expenses and copying expenses and advertising expenses… etc. That is a HUGE help! I’ve also been conducting an informal survey about who someone would call to buy or sell a home. Most of the time they say, “Lindsey.” I ask why and they usually can’t tell me. That means that in this market, Lindsey has the “top of the mind awareness” that would really be benificial to a new agent!! They are the largest agency with Griffin close behind them. We’ll see what happens.

A week ago, Katie had some bad strep and this week I have had a few of the symptoms – a day of fever & sore throat. But now all I have is the linguring sinus pressure & sore throat. It isn’t fun at all & I’m on drugs, but you can still be praying that we both continue our recovery. When I’m 90 years old, I’ll be invincible to colds because of these YEARS of “antibody building” that Katie is helping me do through her Kindergarden class!

I’m off to study & then work at Red Robin – the next to last weekend!

Busy Bees!

Hey everyone. I only have a few minuets, but I wanted to send a little update. I FINISHED my real estate class & have the certificate of completion! Now, I’m just waiting on the FBI to complete my background check and then I can take the test. I’m VERY excited about FINALLY have a “career” vs a J.O.B. which is “Just Over Broke!”
We will still be working at RR for a while so that we can make more extra $ to continue to pay down debt. It has been flying by recently but will be expected to slow down as I venture into Real Estate. I will have some expenses at the onset that may or maynot be “affordable.” Any thing we need, we’ll have to take out of our “extra $” that we have been dumping into our debts.

Also, be in prayer for Katie. She has Strep & it is REAL bad! She has had fever, extreme pain in her throat, and is very tired.

Thanks for the prayers.

We love all yall.
