I'm moving....

Its official, after 11 long years....I'm leaving Philly.

I've tried to get in touch with some of you. Afterall, I only felt it right to tell my good friends in person. But with everything going on, its been tough.

To those that I haven't been in better touch with over the last few months, I'm sorry and I miss you lots. Life is slowly getting back to normal. Well, normal as it can be considering that just about everything in my life is changing, lol. Anyway, I'll be better at staying in touch as I try to get a grip on my life again.

And as if its not somewhat obvious where and why I'm moving, here's a brief synopsis. Over the last decade or so, my Dad worked his ass off starting and building his own real estate company. Not only does he do sales, but he's gotten into property managment as well.

He came from nothing and made something of himself. In the Real Estate world, he's made a name for himself. The thoughts and well wishes when he got sick were overwhelming. He more than filled his hospital (and nursing home) rooms with cards. It was quite impressive...and comforting.

So, I can't let all his work go to waste. We have to keep the company running. My sister has no interest and its just not my Mom's thing. I, however, am a lot like my father. I'm a social butterfly. I live to schmooze. I am fascinated by the business world and driven by the endless possibilities that it holds. So I stepped up. And over the last few months, I sat at Dad's bedside and studied my ass off. I took the State exam and am now officialy a VA Realtor as well as Property Manager and co-owner of a Real Esate Company in Northern Virginia. Pretty cool, huh? The Real Estate Market in the DC/VA area can be pretty sweet.

Now, wanna hear the irony? Last Christmas, I had a long talk with my Dad. And I made the decision then to do this. And its been our little secret. I was going to surprise Mom and my sister this past July when we went on vacation that I'd be moving back home so that Dad could groom me to take over. Real Estate can give me the $$ and flexible schedule to live life the way I want. You work hard and you play hard. That's what I like.

So now...here we are...almost a year later. And I'm at the company just as Dad wanted. Only, without him by my side. Everytime I hear an agent or someone else my Dad knew say "He was so excited about you coming here" it makes me both sad and happy. It saddens me to know that he never quite made it to see me succeed here or to have me work by his side. But I know that he's looking down and smiling knowing that for the first time in a long time, I'm exactly where I should be...

Oh, man. I'm really happy for you that you've found something that inspires you. That is valuable - it's really priceless. smile

When are you moving? Are you still in town?

Sorry for this being last minute but myself, Grimjack, Aponia, Gadget(?), others(?) are getting together Thursday around 7PM or so for a little drink, some food and some low-key holiday de-stressing. Place as yet to be determined....

Interested? We won't be out late. Now that I'm 30 and old (sshhh!) I'd like to be home by 10 or 11.
