I decided my freshman year that I wanted to join a sorority. It never really occurred to me how much I would miss my family moving only a few hours away, but I really did miss that family bond. Joining a sorority helped me find that bond again, and I met so many great people […]
My dad was an architect, and growing up, I really admired what he did. He would always bring me into his studio to show me what he was working on, and explain all of his cool visions to me. It was neat to see his visions come to life when he would take me to […]
My mom remarried when I was only ten years old, and it was a huge adjustment for me. I had always been really close with my dad, so it was difficult when I had to move in with her and her new husband. I hated their new house. It just didn’t feel like home like […]
I’ve lived in my neighborhood for many years, and I’ve come to get to know a lot of my neighbors. We usually like to get together every so often to catch up on things that are happening in the neighborhood. It’s not meant to be a gossip hour, but sometimes people just like to talk. […]

My first place had a gorgeous brick fireplace that was installed when it was […]
I’ve lived in the same home for ten years, and I’ve come to learn a lot about homeownership. It’s been a humbling, yet fun experience. I’m glad that I’m able to teach my sons valuable skills that will come in handy when they own a home in the future. They love helping me repair stuff […]
When I was in college, I worked three different jobs to pay for my tuition. I barely slept all week and always smelled like french fry grease, but I walked out of college with zero college debt. Even though I feel like college took time off of my life, I learned so many valuable skills […]

We have even invited some of our neighborhood repairmen one time. I’ve gotten pretty close with our air conditioning technician. He’s great, […]
