He Just May Be a Giant SlayerFor the last couple of weeks, it's been a whirlwind. I was helping a seller to quickly get her home on the market. Fortunately, all that work paid off and we got the house under contract in one day. My kids came home for the weekend and I got to spend some quality time with them.
