My Life as a Realtor – Day 145

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 145:

Yesterday, after Christmas shopping ALL DAY… I came home and wrapped gifts for about 4 hours! What kept me going, was watching – It’s a Wonderful Life – Oh how I LOVE this movie.

Today, no appointments, so I did some work – then my mom and I went to Wal-Mart in Danbury, CT. Found a few more gifts for my grab bags, an X-Box video game for Jonathan and took advantage of Wal-Marts great prices for some needed everyday items.

To appreciate all that you have in these difficult times, my suggestion to you is to watch – It’s a Wonderful Life…

If you have never watched this touching movie, please do not view this next video – it is of the end, my favorite part and I wouldn’t want to spoil the ending for you…

As I get older, the meaning of life grows deeper and every year, watching the end of “It’s a Wonderful Life”, makes me cry my eyes out more and more! I hope you have a tissue box nearby.

My Life as a Realtor – Day 144

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 144:

It’s Saturday and my mom, sister and I are going Christmas shopping! My sister drove – she is my favorite sister… well, she’s my only sister! Anyhow, she not only drove, but she treated us to lunch and patiently kept us out shopping until we could no longer feel our feet! Thankfully, I was glad to be able to communicate with clients through my cell phone so I had no worries that someone sent me an e-mail and I wouldn’t be able to see it until getting home.

We hit a few stores in Danbury, CT. Our first was Marshalls – where I did most of my shopping. Then, after lunch, I ran into Staples to drop off my empty ink cartridges. Then to Homegoods for… more shopping! A quick stop at the liquor store for wine for dinner and then to TJ Maxx. And our last stop was at Target.

Picking out a few movies at Target

We had a long – fun – feet aching – loads of shopping – Holi-Day!

GETTING TO KNOW ME

As a full time REALTOR in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in NEW YORK – and Fairfield and parts of Litchfield counties in CONNECTICUT , I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share my passions on REAL ESTATE, FAMILY, PETS, anything and everything in and around a HOME – including COOKING, MOVIES, MUSIC and more!

I have been married for 25+ years to my wonderful husband Joe. We have 5 children – Melissa, David, Amanda, Sara and Jonathan. After waiting anxiously – for almost 17 years, being home with my kids for 10 and a Nursery school teacher for 7 years – I FINALLY became a Licensed Realtor – first in Connecticut – where my family and I live – and then in New York – where my office, Century 21 V.J.F. Realty is located.

I was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, New York. My parents, who came to the US from Portugal, were extremely hard working – with even stronger ethics on being good to everyone – everywhere – period! “Faz bem, nao olhes a quem.” This has been instilled in me all my life, which has made me the mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and the REALTOR I am today. Thank You Ma and Papa.
