Good morning! It's still a winter wonderland here in Seattle and it appears we'll have a White Christmas this year. I just wanted to extend my best wishes to all of you this time of year. It's hard for me to believe another year is almost up. It wasn't an easy one at all. In fact, it was probably the most challenging year yet. I'm hopeful 2009 will bring us some relief. I believe it will.
Even though it was a challenging year for most of us in real estate, I still feel very blessed. I have the privilege of being associated with the very best people, both personally and professionally. And I love the business I'm in and am excited about a change after the first of the year. I'll keep you posted!
So I hope you're enjoying the Holiday season. It truly is magical and reminds me of why and what we are here on earth to do. Take care and have a wonderful day tomorrow and every day!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I am looking forward to a Prosperous 2009.
i feel we have already hit the turning point here in Orlando and that 2009 will be a better year.
Steve: That's great to hear. I know Florida was hit harder and first. We'll probably continue to see some slowing in 2009 but I can't imagine a more challenging year than 2008! Thanks for your comments.
Carol: Thank you. The same to you! I know 2009 will be welcome. I think we're all ready! Take care.
Merry Christmas Paul, any hints about your change?

Paul, I was amazed at some of the comments I've read about our weather in the NW on AR. They don't seem to understand that this is the most snow we've received in the past 5 years combined. I hope you had a Merry one...
Thanks, Paul. Yes, I think we got hit. I hope you had a Merry Christmas as well!
