read moreIn 1989 I went as a four year old to Disney Land with my family, and Space Mountain had just opened – it was a ride from what felt like the future (ask my siblings… because I honestly can’t recall it). Chicago, Phil Collins, and Madonna were all that played on the radio. Ghostbusters 2, The Little Mermaid, Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Back to the Future 2 were the Blockbusters of the year. It was during this time of my life that I learned a great lesson – if I picked up all of the loose change from the ground, I could become...

read moreKudos to my home town! Logan Utah is officially the most underrated college town in the country, according to nextgenjournal.com. Big deal? Yes. When you take a look at some of the other heavyweights that rounded out the top 10, you realize that this was legitimate. Here’s the irony. I hate that I’m blogging about this, because the very thing that keeps Logan such a great place is the fact that there aren’t many people who know about this fantastic city. Logan is a gem of a city that’s off the beaten tracks of...
read moreAccording to Inman.com, Sandicor (the MLS for Southern California, San Diego) requires that the listing agent contact information is placed on websites. In an effort to give listing agents and listing brokers better exposure on third-party real estate websites, San Diego-area multiple listing service Sandicor Inc. has added a new data field where they can enter contact details.

read moreAfter we purchased our new condo we quickly decided the old oven needed to go and it needed to be replaced by a new oven. When we pulled the old oven out, the only replacement option was to go with an all gas range – there was no electrical output to power a stove. When our new range arrived we hooked it up, turned on the stove and wa-la things worked great. Well it worked great until we turned on the oven portion.
