Kids running in the yard, smiling, giggling, and loving life. Sitting on the front porch swing, admiring life and nature.
At least that is what I picture when I think of, "the American dream".

...Some of my perspectives have already begun to change now that I am a home owner. Most revolving around self-sufficiency, money management and self establishment. I feel that modern day young adults, (and I am not referring to "teenage young adults" rather adults with less life experience), live such transient lives that beg for stability. Whether serving in the military, traveling abroad, offering service locally or even going abroad on a mission for Christ - your life is constantly moving to new areas. You meet new people that come into and just as easily leave your life. I have found myself saying, "It'll be nice to unpack my bags and know I don't have to repack them in X amount of time."

As most of you know we bought a house, So I wanted to blog about my feelings/experiences with moving! First: Excitement: Finally finding a house that you can afford is always a great thing, especially if the house is 3 times bigger than your previous place!

I look in every possible store I can think of, but I can’t find them. That’s how it was for me when finding gray clogs. Well one day, I  had...

Time and tasks are a very curious subject to talk about. I originally set out to write about how busy my life currently is. However in doing so I realize that I am procrastinating in getting things done; this has brought me to the question; "Working Hard or Hardly Working?"

A friend of mine has referred me to Dean Koontz many times, telling me I should read this book, and that. I typically read at least the synopsis of the book when a recommendation finds its way to me; which I have always done with his suggestions about Koontz. Well, most recently he swore...
