Life lately.
I don’t take many days off, but when my stepdaughter came all the way from Washington with our precious 14-month-old grandson, I took off as much time as I could to soak it all in.
We got family photos, went to the beach, spent a day at the Gulf Breeze Zoo, celebrated Shaylyn and Jessie’s birthdays, and did a whole lot of just hanging out together. Nothing extravagant. Just quality time, baby giggles, family, and memories we’ll treasure forever.
Then they headed home and Gary and I went from Gigi + Pawpaw mode straight into WORK MODE.
We spent one full day assembling furniture and another staging my new listing. And BOY was it worth it. The market ate it up, and that baby is closing in TWO DAYS! More to come on that one.
August was interesting for real estate, too. I only had ONE closing, but y’all…it was an EPIC one. A VA loan assumption that took every bit of 99 DAYS to get across the finish line. Whew, it was a doozie, but WE GOT IT DONE!
With only one closing, I truly didn’t expect to make the leaderboard. But what do ya know, ya girl came pulling up the rear, plus voted #1 Realtor by my husband.
What you don’t always see behind those monthly numbers is everything happening in the background. I’ve been blessed to have 5 homes under contract, spread between September and October.
And I think that’s what this season keeps reminding me of: not everything has to happen all at once to know things are moving in the right direction.
I was able to take a knee, step away from work, and be PRESENT with my family. Then when it was time to get back to work, we were rip-roaring and ready to go.
I just can’t get over how much God continues to provide for our family in ways I simply can’t explain.
Life isn’t perfect behind the curtain. It’s busy. It’s messy. Boy is it chaotic sometimes. It requires a whole lot of patience and faith.
But man, I am grateful for it ALL. All the glory to God!
And there is so much more happening over here that I can’t wait to share. Follow for more!
