Prior to Robby and I’s move to Arizona, we considered moving to Texas. I had it in my mind that I would like to move to Austin, but unfortunately the job Robby had would have placed him in the Dallas area, which is were we had started looking at houses, especially ones that had pools and anything relating to pool fence dallas. Unfortunately, that didn’t pan out but I can’t help but wonder how different everything would have been if we had moved to Texas.
Where and who would we be? Would Jenn and I have crossed paths without knowing it? Sometimes I wish I had the ability to look at every possibile future but then I realize it’s probably best that I can’t– but still, how different would it all be now if we had ended up in Texas?

One of our numbers has a really nice RV home. Like I’m talking Class A license to drive. It’s absolutely beautiful and they have it parked on our street on occasion and I admit, I’m envious but then I think about the cost if it ever broke down. I’ve never known anyone who’s had one but could you imagine the cost of motorhome repair? I think in this case I’m fortunate.
I don’t know– maybe one day when I’m rich. =P

I have always been a dreamer. Even when I was younger I would come up with these elaborate fantasies of faraway distance places. For instance I had this fascination with Canada because of all the beautiful pictures and I often wondered about apartments for rent in Calgary and what life would be like living there. Obviously this was just dreams and ambitions that would never be realized but it was still something that I enjoyed thinking about.
The same is true of living in a different country; perhaps not something across the world but even a place like Canada. Far enough but not too far; perfection.
I can’t say that this is something that would ever happen but it is something I like to think about; so much to the point that I often look at foreign places which include Vancouver and several other places in Canada just to see what’s out there.
Who knows—maybe one day it is a dream that will be realized. Time will tell, I suppose.

Growing up, I never had the chance to experience the type of parents who taught me about how the world works. More specifically, I didn’t have parents who explained to me the importance of good credit or even what a credit score is. In fact, I knew nothing about credit really until I turned 18 and I heard the older folks where I worked toss the phrase around.
It’s really quite disheartening to think I was at such a disadvantage because my parents just didn’t bother to think perhaps we should talk to our kids about how important credit really is.
I made a lot of mistakes when I was younger concerning my credit. I ignored the collectors calling and just thought that if I didn’t admit to the problem it didn’t exist. I know better now.
I try and make a point to pull my credit score by using free credit score programs offered by several different organizations on a yearly basis. I review my report to ensure its accurate and dispute what I know is not. And when I have kids, I swear that I will teach them the importance of credit so they can start off at and advantage. Credit is important; I just wish I knew then what I do now.

One of the biggest complaints Robby has about Arizona is how hard their water is. Sometimes I wonder about him because I don’t really notice it. Water is water is water, you know?
Regardless, I can’t really claim that he’s delusion because if that was the case, things like a water softeners wouldn’t exist but still it kind of makes you wonder just how sensitive other people are to this.
So in the area you live in, do you have hard water? Can you tell or is it something you just don’t think about?
