I have a friend that wanted to go back to school. She is thinking of going online since she have a small kid that she don't want to leave in a day care. I asked her what program she plan of taking. She said that she is still undecided but wanted to get something that will not take that long to finish and she can work later in her own place or even start a small business with.
Actually there are lots of programs and online schools that she can choose from. If she can want something that she can start to have her own business later on, she can do massage therapy program online. This will let her have her own business later when she finished. I will give her a call tomorrow since she asked my opinion on her future endeavor. I am also going to school online and per experience, it is really convenient. I can still watch my kids while doing my school stuff. I know she can do it too like I do.
The bad part of our move was the unpacking part. I know it wasn't that bad but it was definitely very tiring. How I wish somebody can do it for me. After the unpacking was the arranging and organizing stuff. I would say we did good with it but until now I am still doing changes and cannot decide what decor to go. While we unpack I just realized that we still have stuff from our previous move that we were not able to take out from the boxes. Most of them are my husbands military stuffs. I even uncovered some military coins that he were able to accumulate since he join the Army. His awards and other stuffs that needed to be hung on the wall as well as certificates that I am planning of putting in a frame. I know I still have years to do all the decorating here but I am hoping I can make up something soon to make our new home cozy to live in with.
Once I am done with our first floor living space, then I can work on the upstairs. I will do it one at a time. I am glad my husband is also a big help. He did most of the unpacking and me with the arranging.
I know this is kind of late but I just had the chance to upload all our pictures from my camera. We had a little get together on July 4th. It was our first holiday celebration being here in our own place. I invited few of my friends and we just had a little get together. Hubby bought a water play center for the kids to play with at the backyard. The weather was very nice so they were having a blast playing with the water. It was really fun and we enjoyed it. Below are the kids' picture having a blast playing with the water.
When the gas price went up my husband wished we live near post so he can use bicycle or a motorcycle to go to work. It will be less gas usage and very easy to go through traffic because of its scale. I think there are pros and cons of having a motorcycle and I would still prefer to have a car when driving to work. It will be safe when it is raining or in cold weather.
My friend's husband owned a motorcycle and it is a fully loaded one complete with motorcycle navigator, but they are going to sell it. Her husband uses it to work but considering the weather here in the pacific northwest where it is always raining, her husband decided to have a car. They have another vehicle now and waiting for a buyer for their motorcycle. Back in the Philippines I was thinking of learning to drive a motorcycle but now here, I thought it is very difficult and looked dangerous to drive it especially on interstate.
As the saying goes that diamonds are the girl's bestfriend and diamonds are forever. Indeed, who will not feel like a princess if your loved one give you a diamond; may it be a ring, necklace, earrings, or other accessories that has diamonds in it. The first time I owned a diamond jewelry was when my husband gave me the engagement ring. I really treasured that ring until now. I only wear it on special occasion. For my daily wear, I only have our wedding ring in my finger.Every May I celebrate two occasions, my birthday and also mother's day. I always tell my husband not to give me anything but he still likes giving me stuff. I am thankful every time whatever he will give me. I did not know that he was checking some diamonds online and also some techie stuffs. He told me that he was debating then what to give me on my birthday this past May. I told him beforehand not to get expensive ones and if he'll get a gift make it one for the two occasions. So what won over the debate was the ebook that I was also eying. I loved it and even if it is not diamond I am still happy with it. It is still like a diamond since it is my bestfriend now. I am bringing it wherever I go.
Before we found our first place we always watch HGTV channel especially the shows about house hunting, property virgins, and the likes. It is really a good thing that you have knowledge on how real estate works. Having to know what you want and how the process works helps in understanding once you embark on the real thing. Now that we moved in our own place I thought I will watch it less but then the decorating ideas that this channel is giving to its audience cannot be passed. I wanted to learn how to decorate for less and somehow get ideas to apply to our own. There are so many ideas I wanted to copy to our place but I need to wait. I will make it one project at a time. I know that whatever good things we added to the house will add to the equity and it will be a good investment. Speaking of investment, I am thinking of embarking into investing such as stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, or even buy silver dollars. This will be my next target of getting more information and knowledge. I have basic knowledge on it but I need to dig deep into it so I will know how it really works. I know that having your own property/house is a way of investing for the future but having a diverse investment is better.
One of the stores I love to go and shop with is Kohls. In fact I need to go there tomorrow because I have Kohls coupons that will expire on Sunday. I need to get couple of things for the house. I am looking at the bathroom set for the master bath and maybe a comforter set and window treatment. I like going to Kohls too when they start the end of the season sale because I can really score some great deals. Last summer when Kohls have their end of the season sale I was able to stock up on my kids clothing that I got for a really inexpensive price. I am sucker for bargain and I did love what I was able to spent. This time I am not only looking at stocking up on kids' clothing but also decor that I can use for our home. It is different now that we have our own place, you constantly think of something to make your house comfortable and cozy to live in. So I am hoping I will be able to score some good things at Kohls.
