Well I am officially a SC real estate agent. I am working for RE/MAX Real Estate Services and working with the Mike DiMaria Home Selling Team. I specialize in marketing and buyer services.


I truly am excited about my new venture. My husband has been a wonderful support and encourager. He really has been a great source of help and I really appreciate all he has done for me lately.

DIY projects on the block for this weekend...

>> Monday, April 14, 2008

This weekend is going to be fun. I have a few projects that I plan on working on and can't wait to finish.

First project:
I have this Lane cedar chest that was given to me after my mom passed away. It's a lovely piece of furniture, but not quite my style. I am re-sanding, re-staining a dark cocoa bean color and adding glass knob hardware. I am really excited about how it will turn out.

What it looks like before:

I will post the after photo's hopefully this weekend.

I am also re-staining this beautiful Ethan Allen chair my parents were generous enough to give me and I am finding a seat cushion to attach. I will also post pics when complete.

Weekend with the family

Most of you know I have a younger brother and sister who I don't get to spend a whole lot of time with. Well this weekend Dave and I went home for Daniel's 19th b-day and got to spend time with the family. It was so wonderful.
We celebrated Daniel's b-day with a bb-q dinner and presents, jumped on the trampoline like kids with Harrison, played with Georgia for a while and the hubs watched the Master's with my dad. It was such a fun time.

Here are a few photos.

I have been so busy with my real estate class, but I am finished now. I have one more test to take and then I will be a licensed real estate agent in SC.
So David and I have been slowly working on the house, and started on the bathroom first. Here is an idea board of what the bathroom will look like, and hopefully later this week I will be posting pictures.





Check back later for pictures of the bathroom.

My favorite things...

>> Thursday, March 6, 2008

I just had to post my favorite things I am loving this week, in an ode to Spring and Summer approaching here they are:

Opi's Not So Bora-Bora-ing Pink. Perfect for the toes.

Clean & Clear Advantage- The three step process has really helped clear up my skin. It comes with a daily cleansing scrub, spot treatment and mosturizer. The whole kit I believe is $16 at Wal-Greens or Wal-Mart.

Jergens Natural Glow- I have been using it since Sunday, and I have started to develop a warm and healthy looking tan. Good thing is, you can use it every day as your daily mosturizer.
The Ped Egg- I am sure you have seen this infomercial. Well it really works! Some of my girlfriends on The Nest recommended it, and now I have beach ready feet!

Weight Loss Challenge

Some ladies at work and I have decided to do our own weight loss challenge. We are weighing in together every Monday, keeping track of what we eat, eating healthy low fat, low carb, lean protein foods, and we are planning on walking together 2 days a week. The rest of the week excercise is up to us.
We have each set up a short term goal to reach: Mine is to lose 12-15 lbs. by June 28th. If ALL three of us meet our goals, we are treating ourselves to a pedicure and manicure.

I am really excited to have support, especially from 2 ladies I see everyday. Hopefully this will keep us all on track and help us meet our goals.
