Uno de Juno... Can I make up my own holiday?

Not to minimalize Cinco de Mayo, but I like the sound of my new holiday better. I'm betting about 70% of those that read this aren't reading it today (Uno de Juno), but are more appropriately either recouping from, or extending one of the best Memorial Day weekends I can remember in about 15 years. That's no problem, you can wish me a belated happy holiday when you get back to the grind.

As for Memorial day... it is one of the few days the feds set aside to honor those that have made the supreme sacrifice in defense of this great nation. Not many days pass that I don't consider our armed forces, and their contribution to my freedoms. Keep memorial day alive 365 (another slogan... dang I'm full of 'em today)

As we expected, the April 30 deadline on the first time home buyer credit slowed the traffic a bit. The good news is that estimates show a pretty good clearing out of a lot of old inventory in the local housing market. Offers written by the deadline, have to close by June 30th, so we won't know until then the full impact the credit had on the market.

That said, I am working with several buyers, so traffic for me personally has been steady. I've submitted 3 offers in the last 2 weeks, and have 2 closings coming up in the next 2 weeks. Steady traffic for the first half of the year. Keep the referrals coming. I truly appreciate the trust you place in me with your friends and family...

Speaking of family :0)

We are rapidly approaching the wedding month. Lots of busy work getting ready. We had the Detroit bridal shower/golf outing last week, and the Chicago shower/golf outing this coming week. Too many pics to do justice posting them here... you can go to facebook for the full review if you want. If we're not friends already, send me an invite... I stay realtor neutral there.

Austin is growing like a weed... he is almost sitting up on his own. Kind of funny in a mean way watching him sit there until he face plants on the davenport (facebook friends will get that). Bella turned 4 last month, but I swear i think she's 14. She can touch the bottom of the pool this year... and keep her head out of the water... at the same time.

Kel & I are doing well. We've had the bikes out for a few rides, I've been golfing a bit, and my softball team is off to a great start with a 5-1 record... and only a couple minor injuries (if you don't count a broken arm by one of the players).

Thanks again for a great start to 2010... can't do it without a little help from my friends :0). See you in July.
