If you are wondering where I have been - the overcommitted one has been in a blur of activity. I finished and published the first edition of the Keller Center Research Report . We have had excellent feedback from our readers and I am so pleased. All you Realtors out there, this is a must read report! New research that will help you market most efficiently!

Coming soon, We are working on a cross-disciplinary study about the state and future of the housing market! Should be good stuff! Be watching for more info...

My sister-in-law, Alison Indergard, married her sweetie, Brad Allen, on July 5th in Dallas. It was a gorgeous wedding and a good time was had by all. And I had a sitter with me because I was matron of honor and Mike was a groomsman. If you have children and are in a wedding party, I HIGHLY recommend having a sitter with you. Allowed all of us to have fun! Plus our sitter, Nicki, was such a dear. It was nice to have her around!

Alison and Brad went to Bora Bora for their honeymoon. Brad surprised Ali with a limo to take them to the airport, but the bigger surprise was when the limo drove the wrong direction and only barely go them to the airport on time. Not so good news for the luggage though. It had to take the next flight. It all worked out though since they were staying overnight in Los Angeles anyway. On the way back, they left their passports and money in the hotel safe and had to really think fast to get it in time. It all worked out as the native Bora Borans (can that be right?) all worked together to get them their belongings and get them on the flight. Was it the bottle of Tahitian rum Ali had given the ferry driver? We may never know...

On the tropical island note, Mike and I went to a Tiki party at Merryl and Will's house last Saturday night. Fun group and nice tropical cocktails! We all went swimming - which I now recall is a lot of fun without the kids - and came home dripping wet at 1 am. Completely out of the norm for me! It was a great time and I was exhausted! A couple of our friends announced their engagement! Congrats Lee and Leandra!

Back to the grindstone...
