New House

Guest post written by my buddy Bernardo Graham

My husband and I recently took advantage of this incredible housing market to buy our dream home. It’s big enough for us to grow into, it has an ideal backyard for our dog, and we now have plenty of room to each have our own spaces. I’m fairly certain this is the key to maintaining a happy marriage—separate spaces to retreat to when one of us needs a little time to decompress. There are two downsides to this house: we have to buy some new furniture to fill it up, and it has turned out to be very expensive as far as utilities are concerned. Moving from a small apartment to our new five bedroom house has been quite an eye opener. We’ve started to save money wherever we can to start furnishing our house, not to mention keep it heated and cooled! One thing we’ve done is contact shopelectricityratestexas to change our natural gas provider. The call took us about five minutes and we were able to make a switch with practically no work on our part. We’re going to use our savings to start filling this house up with awesome furniture.
