It's been two and a half years...long working hard working years. A toddler,  three flips and countless clients later..it's time. I've been putting it off for so long just to get that one last transaction in. But the end is near. Today is my last day. I'm not sad, I"m exhilarated! I'M FINALLY GOI...
