Being close to family

My husband and I just moved to Texas in order to be closer to family. They say that moving is one of the most stressful things a family can do, and I can se why. We had lived in Tennessee for ten years, but my whole family lives in Texas. I have been longing to be close to my family. My husband is not as close to his family as I am to mine, so he did not mind being far from his family. It has been pretty stressful unpacking boxes and trying to set up our new life here. My husband started his new job about three weeks ago, and I have been busy unpacking. We set up fixed-rate energy in our home by looking into Shop electricity rates Texas. We also have a pool in the backyard, which we have never had before. Our kids are so excited about trying out the pool when it gets a little warmer. They have both adjusted well to their new school, although they miss their friends back in Tennessee. Moving is always an adjustment, but it is made easier being close to family.

My Own Business

Starting my own business was tough but I’ve never looked back. I have a really hard time being organized but that was a skill I had to learn, and fast. It’s not something you can do without when you’re running your very own store! But anyway, I spend a great deal of time with a small business counselor going over things like bank card processing and taxes and HR rules and regulations and at the end of the day I sort of feel like I got a college education in about 3 weeks. I’m really excited to call myself a small business owner and I’m proud, too, but it’s a lot more work than you would think and it’s been a tough road – the financial instability of doing something for yourself is harder than you would think it’d be and for me it’s a long way from here to distance my personal life from work. I have a really hard time separating myself but you know, I think that’s part of why I’m so effective.

My New House

Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell

I love my new house and my favorite part has got to be the garden. There’s something magical about it back there and it’s just so fragrant and begging for my love and attention. I’ve started growing some of my favorite herbs and though it’s about to get cold I’ve planted some root vegetables that I can’t wait to harvest – I’m going to turn into a real Martha Stewart if you don’t watch out! I’ve made some improvements to the inside of the house, too, like getting allhomesecurity and adding crown molding to all the rooms. But other than that I really just like to spend all my time outside while it’s still nice and the weather’s permitting since I came from a family of gardeners. Growing up in the Southwest meant you couldn’t grow much green without a lot of work but that’s why I’m so good at gardening now that I’m an adult. I’m able to tend to even the most difficult garden and I can’t wait until all my hard work really starts to show!
