<p>We plan to have a little party of our own as we watch the game. We have some food for the event as well as some family and friends coming over to watch the game. I am sure we will have a great time.</p>

<p>The Army just told my husband that we will be moving to Fort Stewart in July. For once I am actually excited about our next duty station! Fort Stewart is located in Hinesville, which is less than an hour away from <a href="http://www.inmyarea.com/ga/savannah">Savannah</a>. My husband and I have vacationed there before, and we loved it. It’s a great city with lots of Southern charm. The people seemed nice, and the winters are mild. My plan it to try and live somewhere in between Hinesville and Savannah so that we can spend a lot of time there. It’ll probably also be much easier for me to find a job in Savannah, so I think that living in between the two places is our best bet. I’m so excited to move that I am already looking into homes for sale and <a href="http://www.homesecurityfamily.com/adt-home-security/Georgia/">ADT security georgia</a>. My husband is so happy that I am finally satisfied with one of our assignments. For the last two years we have lived in upstate New York, and it is so cold up here that I am dying to get back down south!</p>

My usual response is that I really don’t care. But it always seems that she picks the wrong thing.</p>
<p>My wife decided on Chinese the other night. While I do like Chinese food, I just wasn’t in the mood for it. I guess I shouldn’t complain though as I had my chance to pick what it was I wanted. This is a case of live and learn.</p>

<p>My husband and I just moved into our first real house. When we first got married, we were renting an apartment and then we were renting a house. Now we own a house or at least have a mortgage on one. We have been trying to cut back on various things to pay for this house and that has led to a lot of discussions. Well, let’s be honest discussions is just a nice way of saying arguments. My husband really wants me to cut back on my shopping, which is fine. I completely understand we need to compromise, however it seems like all the cut backs are with my things. I suggested cutting back on our <a href="http://www.expertsatellite.com/direct-tv/direct-tv-satellite-dish-new-york.html">ExpertSatellite</a> costs and he went crazy. I was just suggesting it and trying to make things fair, but he took offense to it. I don’t understand what the big deal is. We have hundreds of channels we don’t even watch, so I don’t understand why we need to pay for them. To me it seems like an easy decision. I guess it will continue to be in the “discussion” category. I just hope we figure it all out soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Santa made his usual arrival last night and the tree was stacked with presents when we woke up. Everyone opened their presents and we all exchanged comments on the ones we liked the best. Even the stockings over the fireplace were full of chocolates and little surprises that we love.</p>
<p>We now have a fire going and the living room is full of people. We are all relaxing a little before we have to clean up the mess and begin cooking our meal. Turkey is on the menu and I am already starting to get my normal Christmas hunger pains. It has been a good day so far and I am sure that it will only get better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays</p>
<p>Few people will tell you they love their jobs. It is not a common answer. Most people say “It pays the bills” or “It’s a job”, but my husband loves his job. I am very happy he has found something he loves, but it also means he works a lot. His job is sometimes demanding and he will be at the office until the late hours of the night. I finally asked him to look into getting a security system from <a href="http://www.allhomesecurity.com/">all Home Security</a>. It wasn’t that I was mad he didn’t come home at 5 everyday. It was that I needed to feel safe, when he wasn’t home. After a brief discussion, he agreed that it was not a bad idea. While he loves his job, he also loves making sure I feel safe and that I am happy. He has always made that his first priority. He is a great husband and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful guy that loves me and loves his job. I am not sure I could ask for anything more. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I did a friend of mine a favor today. He is out of town for a few days and wanted me take his hotdog cart out to the beach for him. His daughter is 17 and runs the stand, but she needs someone to hook the cart to the truck and bring it to the beach. I must admit that I don’t have a lot of experience pulling a cart, but I got the job done.</p>
<p>The bad part is that I have to go back later and pick the cart up. I don’t look forward to trying to back the cart back into the storage space where I got it from. I’ll do my best though and we’ll see what happens. He owes me one!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many things that are interesting to me in this world. One thing I like is the fact that technology has come so far. Its funny how my computer works or how a tiny device in your home can detect a fire. This was brought to life for me after I talked to my cousin who lives in Arkansas. He had a major mishap in his home but was saved by technology.</p>
<p>My cousin is a smoker. The family has tried numerous times to get him to quit, but to no avail. His habit finally caught up to him when he left for work one day and received a call from his <a href="http://www.homesecurityrussellville.com/">home security russellville</a> company. It turns out that one of his cigarettes started a small fire in his bedroom. The whole house was filled with smoke when the fire department arrived. </p>
<p>The house was saved due to the alarm he had installed. Luckily, no-one was hurt and little damage was done. Needless to say, he is thinking twice about his smoking habits. I was pondering how technology is all around us while I was watching my <a href="http://www.d3q.com/">Direct TV</a> the other day. It sure is nice to live in this day and age where things are complicated and yet simple. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My sister likes the Sobe teas and I have tried a couple, which were tasty. But when I want a bottled tea, I reach for the Arizona teas. Both brands are about the same price, and when put o sale you can get a bottle or a can for about one buck.</p>
<p>I have tried all the different brands, and for some reason, the tea tastes cleaner in the Arizona line. Their newest flavor is an Arnold Palmer endorsed tea that is half tea and half lemonade. That is really good when its hot outside and you are very thirsty.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My sister just finished a two week ordeal with her in-laws visiting their home in Austin. She always has her hands full when they come to visit and all I can say is, before you agree to marry someone, make sure you can deal with that person&#8217;s parents or your life will be much harder in the long run.</p>
<p>My sister and her husband both work and have spent many long hours renovating their home after they moved there in 2002. They bought a small, older house that needed major repairs and they enjoyed working on it together. Four years ago I went out there to help them do some rewiring of the electrical systems and was very impressed with the work they&#8217;ve done and their ambitious remodeling plans.</p>
<p>The main complaint my sister has about the lengthy visits is that they always bring their two miniature poodles with them. The mother-in-law claims they are like her babies and she takes them everywhere she goes. I don&#8217;t think those dogs have ever seen the inside of a kennel. But the little darling manage to pee on the carpet and the furniture when they visit, and that drives my poor sister completely mad.</p>
<p>Now that the in-laws are on their way home, she has had to use the professional cleaning services of <a title="upholstery cleaning" href="http://www.thesteamteam.com/austin-cleaning-services/upholstery.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.thesteamteam.com/austin-cleaning-services/upholstery.shtml</a> to thoroughly clean her antique sofa and other upholstered furniture that the dogs peed on during their visit.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t just wipe off furniture that has been peed on repeatedly. You need a professional to handle <a title="odor removal" href="http://www.thesteamteam.com/austin-carpet-cleaning/pet-odor-treatment.shtml" target="_blank">stain and odor removal Austin</a> and have any chance of your carpets and furniture being odor-free.</p>
