I Am Packing for Mexico

I basically knew almost nothing about this, my girlfriend told me that we were going to Mexico about a month ago. I was confused, but she told me that her uncle was a real estate developer and that among a number of other things he owned a luxury villa rentals for Cabo San Lucas and that every year she went down there with about five of her girlfriends. Of course I did not think that would end well, because I know her friends.These girls are really wild and I can just imagine what might happen if you get them away from home and down in the lands of Tequila. She laughed at me when I asked what her friends were like when they left the country. I am not really too sure that they need to be in another country where the law enforcement is not noted for it’s integrity. Continue reading

This is Better Than I Imagined

I am a very easy going person who is not that particular about many things in life. One thing that I am adamant about though is the quality of the place where I live. I have only lived in apartments since graduating from college, and I have found out that they are not all equal. The first two places I had could be classified as dumps, so I took my time when I began looking at Northlake apartments in Atlanta GA. I would rather spend days looking for the right apartment than find one quickly and be stuck in a six month lease or longer.

I thought it would take me a while to find a nice apartment that felt right to me since Atlanta is so big, but it took less than an hour of looking online. The majority of that time was spent looking at the website for the Green Park apartments. There was a lot on the site between photos of the apartments and grounds as well as floor plans for each unit and a listing of all the amenities that are available for residents. Continue reading

The House That We Now Call Home

When my husband told me to find a reputable real estate agent in Denver, I got so excited. I knew that there was a chance we would end up staying in Denver, but it was not a sure deal until he told me that. I did not waste any time either. We had been living in an apartment for nearly six months before we found out that we were staying there for the long haul, and I honestly missed having my own house. The apartment was nice, but it just could not compare to having my own yard, bigger rooms and more privacy.

It took me just a few minutes before I found the real estate agent that I wanted to use. I looked at his website and was impressed with the properties that he had listed there. I also liked how everything was laid out, so I started looking at properties even before I contacted him. Continue reading

Finding a Place That is Inexpensive is Not Hard

After my ex-husband I were divorced, I found myself feeling panic set in when it came to thinking about how I would be able to afford to live each month on the salary that I made. He and I were already struggling financially together, so I had no idea what might be in store for me on my own. The place we had together was somewhat nice, and I felt it would be best if I looked for cheap apartments in Raleigh NC so that I would not get myself into too much financially. But I wondered if I would be able to find a really nice place or not.

In my mind, whatever place that I could find that would be inexpensive might not be in a good neighborhood or would be rundown. Continue reading

I Just Moved Up to the Mountains

A couple of weeks ago I got a call from a guy I knew a few years ago when I was living down in the Sand Hills of North Carolina. He was up in the mountains and he had become the principle of a high school in Ashe county. He wanted to know if I was interested in becoming the wrestling coach up there. In fact he told me that they had a couple of guys who might make the state tournament. At any rate now I am looking for apartments in Asheville NC and getting started on my work up there. Obviously I am going to be doing a lot more than coaching. Continue reading
