Dear Active Rain, I've been blogging my little heart out for the last several weeks thinking that maybe...just maybe...I would get featured again. I haven't been featured in awhile and have started to wonder. When you're dating and the guy stops calling or stops calling you "sweet thang"...you ...

It's been nearly six weeks since we lost our golden retriever, Sarah. She was an incredible dog and the hole that her passing left in our lives seemed as huge as the Grand Canyon at times. The house seemed to echo loneliness. No longer could we hear the jangle of her tags on her collar or hear...

No one, in my 18 years in the real estate industry, said it would be easy... Being the eternal optimist I am...I tossed that notion aside and plunged forward into my career. Granted there were a few hurdles along the way...but overall the journey hasn't been bad. I credit that largely to my p...

We finally made it to the Texas Jump Off at the Texas Hunter's Classic show in San Antonio yesterday. I went expecting to see amazing jumps and top rated dogs flying off the dock. What I saw was just as entertaining...but not exactly the cream of the crop jumpers. I got tickled watching owners...

Let me start off by saying...there are so many reasons to absolutely love social media...but are we taking it too far??? I have loved the fact that I have reunited with my high school and college friends through mediums like Facebook. But, when I look at "my" friends on Facebook and my kids "f...

If you sit at work dreaming and thinking there's gotta me more than concrete sidewalks and this face paced life...then maybe it's time you find yourself again and start living the simplicity of the "rural lifestyle". It doesn't mean you have to give up your job...just give up living 10 feet away from your neighbor or starting your own garden or have that horse you've always dreamed of.
I have been a licensed Realtor for nearly 18 years with experience in new home construction, (both production and custom), log homes, and helping folks live the rural lifestyle. It would be my extreme pleasure to help you realize your dream.
