Home

I have been through so many journey's in my life. I have girlfriends that without a doubt when I am going through something they are the 1st call I make. I have had these friends since elementary school. The 3 of them have been there and seen me at my worst and best! We grew up in small town Lubbock, Texas and all went to a small Christian School where everyone knows everyone or really that is just Lubbock in general. When I graduated High School all I wanted to do was get out of Lubbock. My mom use to always tell me that there will be a day when I miss it and want to come home, which I thought "Ya Right...She's Nuts!" I have had those days a lot in the past year where I just want to go home and not worry about anything and to have a little bit of home brought to me lately is just God whispering in my ear that everything will be okay.

To have so many people from my home town come look at the property I manage is just bazaar to me! As of September I have been in the apartment industry for 5 years and 4 out of the those 5 years has been at The Marquis at Silver Oaks in Grapevine, Texas. I have been through so much at this property. Words can not describe the emotions I have felt over the 4 years I have worked there. It was my
1st job, 1st failure, where I met my husband, and 1st promotion.....and so so so much more! Not to mention I watched a 9,000 square foot clubhouse that I spend hours and hours at burn to the ground 2 days before Christmas in 2006!

In the past 3 months there has been so many people from Lubbock come in and actually lease and move in. This is has never happened in 5 years....not only are they from Lubbock they went to my school. I only had 63 in my graduating class so my school was small!

Since February 8th I was given the honor to actually manage The Marquis at Silver Oaks and it has been trying and difficult to say the least. There has been days that I had no idea how I was going to get through it......but hey...isn't that called a career! To have so many people from Home become residents or even just looking at my property is a sign from the good man upstairs that I am in the right place which makes it all worth it. Both my husband and I have questioned it so many times in the past 6 months due to my high stress level but without a doubt I know I am where I am suppose to be.

I still have so much to learn and achieve but just getting a little taste of "Home" on stressful days make it better.
