We found Ichabod!

As many of you know, Max got a corn snake for his 11th birthday. Well after about a whole month with Ichabod (the snake), "someone" left the lid open and there was a full on melt down one morning after noticing he had escaped! Oh crap! My Mom was coming to visit and she is not fond of any animal (except or dog O'Neal), and my Grandma Terry who is TERRIFIED of snakes, she wont even look at the rubber ones! Anyhow, we made it through my Mom's visit without incident...no snakes in shoes, drawers, sheets etc...Thank goodness but Grandma Terry was still coming and she has a pacemaker to keep her heart going. I thought to myself "Great, it has been almost a month and now the snake is either dead or he might end up slithering across the floor in front of Grandma and she is going to have a heart attack, her pacemaker will not be able to keep up and I'll get blamed for Grandma dying!"
This was until...The night before Grandma arrives we are sitting outside in the jacuzzi and Jack says "I found Max's snake", as he picks the snake off of the ground outside by the pool! He said the snake fell out of his swim shorts! Max it thrilled and he is much more careful to shut the lid all the way! Oh by the way...Grandma is fine;)

Guys Night

The other day I received an email from a friend that simply said "Lakers" in the subject line. When I opened it up it was a very simple email that said "Gabby, would Mike be interested in 4 VIP tickets to the Lakers opening game against Portland? " UH.........Yeah!!! I could not believe it! So Mike took Papa (a.k.a Bill), Mason Waite(my brother), and a friend Mark Thompson. They had such a great time eating in the VIP resturant watching warm-up's and having an entire evening of fabulous Laker basket ball. They did have some celebrity sightings as well. Of course Jack Nicholson was there front and center, Denzel Washington, Anthony Kedis, and Leonardo DiCaprio! How cool! So a special thank you to Janice and Kristopher Williams for a night Mike wont forget!

Mike the Real Estate Agent!

He has joined family friends, Miguel & Gina Pomar, who have been in the business for many years and even helped us purchase our home.

If anyone you know is looking for Real Estate services, please send them Mike's way (he can even handle foreclosures and short sales and in fact is specializing in this area). This is truly a word of mouth business and relies heavily on referral, so any word of mouth would be hugely appreciated!! Give him a call 951-907-5580.
