Bike Riding – A New Hobby

Posted by Kyle Reilly on August 23, 2010 at 8:47 pm

It’s been years since we’ve experienced the adventures that bicycling offers, but Mike and I decided to try out a new hobby, so we purchased 2 bicycles. Since moving into our new home, we’ve began nightly walks around the neighborhood.  We never did that at our town-home, simply because the neighborhood wasn’t the greatest.  With [...]

Serenity and Relaxation

Posted by Kyle Reilly on June 26, 2010 at 2:17 pm

Every day since last weekend when I setup our new porch swing, we have enjoyed some time in the evenings hours sitting outside on the porch and talking about our days.  Mike and I really enjoy going to the beach and watching the sunset every few weeks, and now having a porch swing on our [...]

Planting Crops, Flowers, and More

Posted by Kyle Reilly on June 11, 2010 at 9:00 am

I’ve never been into flowers,  vegetables, fruits, nor gardening. After purchasing our home, we decided to start planting a few items, and I have to say, I like exploring new things, because I really enjoy it.  Watching something grow from nothing to something, or small to large, is truly remarkable.  What’s next????

This video from “The Big D Podcast” sums up why I love Disney so much.  Whether it be the sights, the sounds, imagery, characters, fireworks, or just the many fun memories I’ve had over the years, Disney truly is a magical place for me to be.  It’s where I can leave all my stressors behind, [...]

It’s been about a week since I last updated, and I have to say its been an adventurous one at that. We officially closed escrow on the 4th of May, and we are homeowners. It’s an exciting time, but we didn’t have much time to enjoy that feeling because we are now focusing on getting [...]

2 Days until COE

Posted by Kyle Reilly on May 2, 2010 at 9:54 pm

Only 2 more days until the close of escrow.  It’s been a wild couple of months, we’ve placed offers on several homes, went through many tours and walk-throughs, and went through the entire short sale process.  We had to get our offer accepted by the seller, then the bank that held the first loan had [...]

Front Point Security- Alarm System

Posted by Kyle Reilly on May 1, 2010 at 10:16 am

As I eagerly wait the close of escrow, I completed my purchase of a home alarm system.  As with any major purchase, I have done my share of homework and have researched alarm systems fully.  I’ve checked the major alarm companies, the smaller “small business” ones, and a few online providers.  After comparing everything, I [...]
