Joe continues to work at Clear Channel Outdoor here in Phoenix. The commute is getting to him lately as the city is improving the freeway between home and work. It makes the ride treacherous! The work is "supposed" to be completed by this time next year... we'll see! Anyway, he is thankful for his job and the company that has been so good to him over the years. He still enjoys woodworking and has taken some bowl turning classes. He made the nativity scene pictured in front of our home a couple years ago. To tell the truth, he made about 85 of them (with the help of our small group) as people placed orders faster than we could say, "No more orders, please!" Our small group decided to take the project on as a service to others so no money was made, just fun memories!
I have had a great year personally. After a little over three years in the real estate business, Joe and I decided that it just took too much time away from the family on the evenings and weekends. During the first couple of years, when my business was a lot slower, it wasn't so taxing on the family but that third year really picked up for me and the result was several evenings and Saturdays with clients. Realizing that we don't have too many years left before the kids start going to college or moving out, we made the decision to bring me back home full time. I am loving it! I realize now that I had taken being home for granted and now I am really appreciating this time more than ever!
