It’s not a very spring like day, but we have the opportunity to get some things done. We’ll trim back the decorative grasses, put some food down on the lawn, and clean out the hot tub.
We celebrated our anniversary yesterday. It was a pretty simple celebration. We had a little gathering after dinner for my dad’s birthday, then went to Scheel’s to ride the ferris wheel and check out their selection of small outboard motors that might work on our Costco raft. It was simple, but fun just to spend some time together. We set out with the goal to do something nice for someone intentionally, but almost forgot. We decided to give a special shout out to the lady who helped us on the ferris wheel to her supervisor. She was fun and kind.
Yesterday was tough (I’ll get into that in the real estate section) and I was very happy to be able to spend time with Jenn just goofing off. She is my most bestest friend ever. 🙂 There’s probably some psycho-babbel term for it, but I’m not sure I would navigate this world at all well if I didn’t have her.

Work was pretty calm yesterday. I went to the office and got some admin stuff completed, and in the afternoon drove to Fruitland for a listing appointment.
And I bombed. It was so awkward. I won’t go into all the particulars, but the air got sucked out of the room when the topic of sale price came up. I have since came up with all sorts of excuses as to why they are not a good fit for me, but it really comes down to I was not prepared.
Preparation brings confidence, and I did not take the time to really convince myself I had a good handle on it. In the future I will be sure to write out my reasoning for my opinion on a properties value. I will do it as an exercise in being knowlegable and confident, and prepared to converse about it.
