Digital Camera Reviews

I found a website for digital camera reviews. I think that this is a great tool when you are looking to buy a camera. You can see what other people have to say about the camera you are wanting to buy before you buy.

Great idea!

I still have information about the camera I already have. I am still learning how to use it. But when I get better, I know what I will be buying.

Shopping Online

I like to window shop online. I like it because I can see the deals that different stores have. When I find a good deal I then look for online coupons to get even a better deal.

I shop at Target, Walmart and other supercenters for decorating ideas. I have been looking at patio benches. We don’t have trees in the back yet but that is something we are looking to get here soon.

The builder put 2 oak trees in the front that I am sure will be nice and big once they get older and maybe I’ll buy a swing to hang from one of the trees so the kids can play on.

I Love My House

I am so happy with the house that we bought. D.R Horton Homes are the best. You get quality homes and good incentives. I remember being at the apartment, and even though it was nice it was not my HOME.

Even El Monte did not feel like home once we decided we were moving to Texas. I remember looking for Moving Companies and being so exited because I knew I was going to move to my new home very soon.

Happy because we moved when we did.

I am so satisfied with our house, the neighborhood and our City. Things could not be better!

Laminate Floors

I have a friend that has Laminate Floors in the Lobby of his church. He is a Pastor, a friend of ours in California. To my surprise, it looked really good. I could not tell it was laminate at first. The look was that of stone. In doing research for The Masters House, I came across this website that sells it. This is definitely a more inexpensive way to get the look you want for your floors.

This will be something to consider when the kids get older and we want to redo our floors.

Home Security Systems

Dan and I have been debating wether or not we should get a Home Security System. Our new house is wired for it which helps us out if we decide to get it but we are not sure. We keep going back and forth. In El Monte (Cali.) we never used our system. Which is a blessing. We never had a problem even if the area where we lived was not the safest.

Here in Round Rock, well things are a lot better. You don’t see a lot of crime and so forth. I just don’t think we need it at the moment. Maybe in the future. Is not like we don’t have the alarm, we just don’t have the service. If someone brakes in, the alarm will sound but don’t have the service that contacts the police automatically for us.

I figure the alarm is ok for the time being. I guess we have to see what the future brings.

Home Improvement Ideas

I found this website for Home Improvement Ideas in the Internet that looks cool. It’s a blog just like we have about what we do. Ideas and projects for homeowners like us. This will be a good place to check out on a regular basis to see if they have tips on things that we are doing at the time.

I found this cool picture of an Oil Lamp. They have cool ideas and to my surprise things that I have either bought recently or had all ready.

Dish Network TV

I see a lot of advertising for Dish Network and even some DirecTV but to be honest, Time Warner is ok for us. We used to have DirecTV (very expensive) in El Monte and Grandpa MP used to have Dish Network and he liked them but I just don’t know if they would work here in Texas. With the electric storms that we have here, they may not be the best for us.

I have seen them adversite really good deals on TV but I don’t know if they can beat the deal we have with Time Warner Cable.

My Mom, loves the DVR and I like being able to record Mikey’s favorite TV shows. The TV shows that will keep him tamed at times. I use this recording for when I can’t find anything on TV that he enjoys. One of those shows is Teletubbies.

Anyways, back to Dish Network. I think I am going to stick with my cable company for the time being.

Happy Birthday to My Wife and I!

That’s right!

It is my wife’s and my birthday on the same day.

Unbelievable isn’t it? Yeah, I did not believe it at first either.

It is cool though because I will never forget he B-day and get myself in trouble.

As you remember I got my drill press in this post – My Birthday Present to Me – A New Drill Press. Elsy got a 1 year membership to the local massage place for a monthly massage.

Happy Anniversary to My Wife!

I just wanted to say Happy Anniversary to my lovely wife.

It was 7 years ago today that we committed our lives to each other.

The last 7 years have been an adventure but one that I have enjoyed immensely.

I look forward to the next 70 years with you babe!
