Our New House

28 Mar 2012 by

Content by Kyle Lowe

My husband and I are moving next week, so things are crazy around here. We are in the middle of packing and making sure our new house is ready for us to move into, while still working our full time jobs. We are finishing up renovations and they have to be done because our lease on our apartment is up. We thought the renovations would take less time, but things kept on going longer and longer. Contractors have a way of getting off schedule, so we’ll probably have to keep on making repairs after we move in. We are excited, but still worried about all that we need to get done. I still haven’t packed all of my things, and we also need to connect our clear wireless internet service in the new house. I can’t wait until this is all over and we are all settled in. It will be so nice to know that we are finally in a house that we own. I am so glad we won’t have to move again for a very long time!

Family Night

27 Feb 2012 by

The article written by Alonso Kramer

Every Sunday night at our house we try to have Family Night. This is the one night of the week that everyone is supposed to be at home to spend time together. These days our lives are so hectic with everyone going different directions we just about have to set aside time that we can all be together. So every Sunday night we all get together and have a big meal that usually includes cooking something out on the grill. Everyone is expected to chip in and help so one person is not having to do all the cooking. Then after we eat, we all go into the great room and watch a movie together. The movie time has been great lately since we got direct tv specials because we have some free movie channels for three months with an enormous selection to choose from. The guys always want to watch some kind of action movie, but the girls want to watch a love story or drama. So we had to compromise and watch an action movie one week and love story or drama the next week. We usually have dessert while we are watching a movie. Sometimes it is something like homemade ice cream, and other times it can be something as simple as s’mores. My family is not hard to please. I hope one day they will enjoy Family Night with their own children and pass it on to the next generation.

Love it!

The article written by Landon Gilbert

Gosh I love cable tv. it’s the only thing that got me through the madness of all this moving and unpacking – I would unpack one room at a time and then reward myself with a few hours of my favorite show. See, I inherited my aunt’s old house a few months back and though it’s wonderful and huge, it’s been a lot of work. It needed (and still needs) a lot of upgrading and there are just so many darn rooms to furnish. I’ve tried to spread out my old stuff where I can but there are still a lot of things left to buy. Anyway, it’s been fun watching House Hunters and Flipping Out and totally commiserating with all the real estate people on the shows. I totally understand now why people put off buying their first house for so long – it’s a lot of work! It’s nice to have the instant equity but at the end of the day if I hadn’t fallen into this place I would have waited.
