Wackey Market!

If I could explain what is going on in our real estate market I would be a genius!!! There are so many good deals out there right now it is hard to believe that they aren't being gobbled up. Don't get me wrong, houses are selling but which ones and why. I am trying to figure that one out. Things have been good for me and I hope to see them continue to go well. It helps for me to have a great family behind me and motivating me to stay pro-active.

On to family. I recently listened to the "Last Lecture" written by Randy Pausch and his words were eye opening. The stuff that he talks about is stuff that we all know and that we all think about but he encourages you to take to the next step. I know that I enjoy my children and my dreams but do I actually sit down and spend time in those moments? He mentioned a bit about remembering the looks that his kids make and the crazy little quarks about them. I see them with my family and yes it makes me smile but do I spend time in those moments? By spending time in those moments I mean, do I really enjoy them or do I pass them off with a smile. Every minute with your 1 year old goes by quicker and quicker, then they are 5 or even 10. The one thing that I know, is that my kids are getting older and looking at my youngest and last child I know that my kids are all able to walk now and without some major tragedy they will always be walking. I look at them and think to myself "man, I will never have an infant again." It is kind of depressing but I am happy that I have 3 wonderful kids but it is eye opening. With that, I am starting to spend more time in the moment with them. We all are tired at the end of the day, so I say, buck up and enjoy what time you have with you children and family cause it could all go away. Randy did a great job enlightening me to that but he did it in a positive way! You can read it or go to youtube and watch it and I highly recommend it. Anyway, my time is limited and I am going to go enjoy my family! :)
To all a good day!
