Valentine's Day Salute
Happy Valentine's Day! I am not sure how I feel about Valentine's Day. Sometime I feel like it is one of those "Hallmark holiday's" where you feel pressure to buy something for people that they don't really need or want. I guess for the most part Valentine's day is just another day. Now my mom loves the holiday and the day, I think it is her favorite (mine is Halloween) but mom's favorite holiday is for another blog entry. This entry is a salute to my Valentine.
My Valentine is my husband-Mike. We have been married for almost 13 years and like any marriage we have had our "seasons" througout our relationship. For the most part it has been great. Mike has made it that way. I think it is harder to live with me than it is for me to live with him. He is my rock, my support, my anchor, my coach, my compass, my handyman, my seamtress, my cook and my sweetheart.
I started my real estate career full time over 3 years ago for many reasons but I think the number one reason was the flexibility that this job holds. I have the ability on most days to be home when my son gets off the bus, I get to go to Valentine Day parties at school, I get to be on the PTO board and volunteer at school, I get to revolve my schedule around my sons. The flexible hours also bring weird hours- lots of weekends and evenings and lots of last minute changes in schedules. Throughout the last three years Mike has been a big reason that this schedule works. He is home in the morning to put David on the bus and fix his breakfast when I need to go to a networking event or a continuing education class. He is home in the evening and/or weekends when I have clients or open houses and he is open to the fact that my scheudle can change suddenly when a client decides this is the weekend that they need to see 50 houses because their job has all of sudden decided to relocate them to this area.
So today, Valentine's Day, I would like to say THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU to the person who is always there to support me- my husband and my friend Mike Cinamon. Happy Valentine's Day!
