Only a Matter of Time

2012-01-28T06:37:00.000-08:00

Written by my friend Betty Walls

There are several sitcoms that I love to watch including Modern Family, The Office and Up All Night. Unfortunately, they were all coming on at 8 or 8.30; too early for me to watch uninterrupted now that the kids go to bed at 9. With my phoenix direct tv dvr, though, I can now record my shows and watch them when I want. Another perk to this is I can fast forward through the commercials. 30 minute shows can now be watched in 25 minutes or less! With the time I’m saving and being able to watch whenever I want I have set my dvr to several other shows I’ve wanted to watch but haven’t been able to catch. My dvr is quickly filling up though so I need to get caught up. Fortunately the kids have not realized we have a dvr so for the moment it’s all mine. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before they figure it out and fill it up with their shows!

Close the account...

2012-01-28T06:36:00.000-08:00

Since we don't have wellsfargo bank here in Monte Vista Valley we decided to close the account. We drove to Pagosa Spring last Thursday to pay the overdraft fee and at the same time close the account. It was an hour and a half drive. I get a chance to drive that long because Mike wasn't feel good. I'm glad I did it. It was a nice drive eventhough the road seems scary. Then we had lunch at Subway and drive back home the same day. Hope they will put a new Wells Fargo Bank here in Alamosa :-)

play drum

2012-01-16T12:21:00.001-08:00

So happy to see my kids that they playing really good together. They get along well and they both love to play instruments. Two days ago, my son ask me if I can make him a drum made of an oatmeal jar because he likes to play pretend. As well as my 2 year old daughter also wants the same. I ask them if they like to play piano and guitar since we have a little piano and a guitar toy but they say no, instead they really like to play a drum. Well, I guess we need to start finding a junior drum set. They will be a good musician because my husband family side love to play any types of instruments from drums, guitar and piano. We will surely take Dustin to a piano or a drum lesson, maybe this year or next year but will see...

2012-01-10T14:37:00.000-08:00

this year 2012...

2012-01-03T12:43:00.001-08:00

… I will surely change my habit especially getting up late everyday. I need to listen more and become more responsible and independent with my husband especially now that we just started signing up for my son’s home school. I need not too scared so much when driving in the snow, I will be more courageous and have trust in myself that I can do it. I will spend more time with my kids than being in my computer. Do more things in the house. Try to watch my diet, don’t eat so much at night. There are a lot of things I need to change this year, I can’t just think of them all but I will try my best to be a better mom, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a sister and a better person that has more faith to God and to my self.

Relaxing...

2011-12-28T17:27:00.000-08:00

So far, I'm done unpacking all the boxes inside the house except the one in the garage, but my husband will taking care of it. It was a big relief to finish unloading our stuff from all those boxes. It's a lot of work but its okay. Now, I have a chance to sit down and rest and not thinking about the boxes anymore. My husband just came home from work so I let him sit and relax and have coffee, will have dinner in a few minutes then later on, we can watch the movie title "The Dolphin Tail".

Safety First

2011-12-28T17:18:00.000-08:00

Guest written by our friend Mason Abbott

Safety is very important to me. Nothing is more important than doing what I can to protect my family. In addition to ordering a security system from HomeSecurityFamily.com I am thinking about other ways I can protect my family. After consulting with several professional home security experts, I have made a list of improvements I can make to my home to protect what is most important to me. At the top of my list is new outdoor lighting. I’m planning to install motion activated floodlights at each corner as well as brighter lights by my doors. I’m also going to install landscape lighting. Increased lighting is the number one way to make your home unattractive to would be thieves. I’ve also purchased new stronger locks for our doors. We’ve never given out any keys to our home but we aren’t the first owners so who knows who might have a spare key out there. I believe installing these items will take up most of my vacation week. Any time I have left I will spend with the people I’m doing all of this to protect!

back pain...

2011-12-27T17:26:00.000-08:00

My husband brother got three disc surgery on his back and that’s the most you can have If you don’t want that painful feeling in your back. I bet he feel awful before the surgery but you know what? After that spine surgery, he feel so much better. There are many people out there that are suffering for back pain and maybe some of them got a Spine surgery and some of them not. My husband also have problem in his back, he usually take medication for it and sometimes he go to his doctor for a shot. They give him cortisone for the pain and It seems help a lot. I mentioned it to him about the Spine Surgery Houston and he said, he will think about it. Well, to those people who are in the same condition, why bother the pain if you can try the Spine surgery Houston?

Unpacking...

2011-12-27T17:24:00.000-08:00

This is our new home, I was unpacking all our stuff in the kitchen. So far I finish unpacking the stuff in Dustin and Dana's bedroom, bathroom and living room. The rest of the boxes in the garage, I think my husband will taking care of it and I'll do most of it inside the house. It's a lot of work to unpack the things, that's why moving is not really fun at all. The fun thing is, we moved into a bigger house, we got lot of space in the house as well as the garage and the backyard. I bet the kids will have so much fun this spring or summer. This time of the year is not that fun because it was way too cold outside. It drops down to 0 and negative at night. But even though how cold it is, my husband and I will try our best to make the kids happy and give them the best adventure of their life. I still love our new place ;-)

keep yourself warm and cozy!

2011-12-27T17:02:00.001-08:00

In a day like these where the temperature drop down to zero especially at night. We really need to take out our electric blankets and use it either in the living room or in the bedroom. It’s nice to keep warm at night, I am just thankful that the heater working really good and it doesn’t get really cold inside the house. I am kind a worried about the kids because they doesn’t like to be cold that’s why when we sit down together as a family in the living room, we have the electric blankets to keep our body and feet warm. So if you want to keep yourself warm and cozy this winter, you can check out electric blankets at cozywinters.com!

2011-12-13T18:41:00.001-08:00

I didn’t make any more blogger templates designs this couple months. Maybe I just got lazy to do it. Well, I still don’t have any customers or anyone that wanted to do blog makeover.

Thanks to Jonathon Woods

We recently learned that my husband had gotten a new job that he applied for and that we were going to be moving to the City of Brotherly Love, Philly. I don’t know anything about the city, I actually had never been, only seen it on the movie with Tom Hanks. So we when found out, we went apartment hunting. We found a great quiet apartment close to his office and also close to all of the attractions. It is really an old and beautiful city. We are moving next week and I am getting everything lined up and finalized. I am going up early to meet the installers from direct tv Phila and also to meet with the painters and have the home painted to our taste before the movers show up next Saturday. My family is sad that we are leaving, but I really think that we are going to enjoy living there. Moving to a new city is always an adventure! This is certainly going to be one!

The finish room

2011-11-15T12:30:00.000-08:00

I like the color in our kitchen now, its more brighter and adds so much color in it. When I tell my husband that we will paint an orange cream and he's thinking "naahhh" orange is too light and ugly color but when we try it on, he started to like it. The additional room in the kitchen is also done, we use the same tile as the one in the dining room and they put a border that makes it looks really nice. Hope we can find a renter to this house as soon as possible and hopefully we can find a nice house also in San Luis Valley.

titanium watch bracelet

2011-10-29T12:48:00.001-07:00

Have you noticed the difference when you wear a titanium bracelet? Some says that titanium bracelet can relieves pain by neutralizing it and is thought to attract oxygen. I’m not sure if this is true since I never had a titanium bracelet before. I saw some nice titanium bracelets online at teno.com, they have pretty nice titanium bracelets collection. One of my favorite is the Boccia titanium watch bracelet. This is pretty simple and nice, I think my brother would like this kind of bracelet. It’s pretty expensive but its worth it.

bin compost tumbler

2011-10-18T15:44:00.001-07:00

Thank God we mow the lawn last weekend. I got a chance to do it since my husband is the one who trim the flower and plants in the front yard. We help each other to get the work done and the kids are having fun riding their bicycles. We had a lot of garbage to put outside because Tuesday morning is the garbage pick up. Good thing we get rid of those junk in our backyard that way we don’t need to put it all in the front yard, it will be an additional payment I guess for all those junk. Anyhow, when I get home my friend showed me this spin bin compost tumbler video. You better take a look at it, this bin compost tumbler is made of 100 percent recycled plastic and it holds up to 60 gallons of materials. Its very durable and its easy to use. We need to start using this kind of product, it’s environmentally friendly and like what they said, go clean and go green!
