During this last year Ann and Bill have been extremely blessed by our Friends, Family, Clients and Customers. We were able to help over 95 families achieve their buying and selling goals. Reflecting on the year, a lot has happened and we could not be happier.
Our daughter LeAnne is now a senior at Midlothian High School. She is heavily involved in the Music Department and sings in several choirs including the Show Choir – Almost Broadway. LeAnne has had a GREAT year. This year, she did something different – she took part of her summer and went to Japan on a Mission Trip with Super Summer Global. Many people in our church donated money so that LeAnne could attend and LeAnne did several things to raise money. Ann and I were quite proud of our daughter for wanting to go on this trip and we have seen her grow significantly in all areas of her life since coming back from the trip. Other highlights of her year was the decision to attend University of North Texas for college, making the Show Choir, singing in numerous concerts throughout Midlothian and even one at UTA. We are truly blessed and are very proud parents.
Personally, we have continued to grow our Adult Bible Fellowship at FBC Midlothian where we attend church. We have a GREAT group of folks who make up our class. Ann grew one of the biggest gardens in the State of Texas and then canned literally hundreds of jars of vegetables. By the way, if you want some of the best pickles in the world simply let us know and we'll send you a jar – they are very, very good. Bill still managed to get in several rounds of golf and has actually had time to work on improving his game. He'll never make it on the professional tour, but he does enjoy chasing that ball around.
Business wise, Ann has continued to excel in her Real Estate career. Early in the year she was recognized on stage at the CENTURY 21 International Convention in Orlando, Florida for being one of the Top Agents in the CENTURY 21 System for her customer service. Shortly after, she earned all Top Producer and Agent awards for her office performance in 2007 and because of her performance, she also earned an All-Expense paid trip through CENTURY 21 Judge Fite. We were able to take that trip with over 50 other agents from our company in April. A week long cruise that was absolutely wonderful (they are much nicer when you don't have to pay for them.)
April saw many changes in our life. For years, Bill has been managing offices for CENTURY 21 Judge Fite and for the last five years had managed their largest office and the Number 21 Office in the World for Closed Unit Production in the CENTURY 21 System. While that was challenging and exciting, we always wanted to sell together again. So, in April Bill resigned his position and joined Ann again in sales as The Bill & Ann Team. We have had a ton of fun selling together again. Yes, some people might question our wisdom at going back into sales during the worse real estate market in years. However, we simply stayed focused and have had a great year.
No one knows for sure what 2009 will bring, but our goal is to build relationships with our friends and customers and continue to help 100s of families achieve their real estate goals.
In closing, Ann, Bill and LeAnne wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year.
God Bless.
