Things are getting back to normal!
Finally things are getting back to normal around here. We recently moved into a new house and it has taken longer than we expected to get back up and running full force. We decided it was time to get out of our small apartment, which just seemed to get smaller on a daily basis and move into something that would accommodate us a little better. So we moved a few miles from our apartment, which were roughly 1,200 square-feet to a 3-year-old house in a small neighborhood that is roughly 3,000 square-feet. Oddly enough, our costs didn’t go up they pretty much stayed the same.
We’re happy however, things are coming together in the new house and we’re very excited about it. We’ve decided to allow some family to move in with us to help offset some of the costs and to fill it up a little more. Now it doesn’t feel so lonely here. It seems to be working out great and everyone is happy to be around each other. Co-Living is a new trend these days and we’re happy we decided to give it a try. We’re actually in talks of finishing out the basement, which would free up a couple rooms upstairs being used as offices and having some friends move in as well.
Co-Living isn’t for everyone, so I wouldn’t suggest it for the type of person that loves his or her privacy. I’ve had a lot to deal with since we all moved into together. But over time it gets easier and you learn to coup and work out your problems. It’s best to move in with others that are easy to get along with and aren’t afraid to make compromises, you should be the same way as well. If you’re not this type of person, stay clear of this it will just end up causing problems and you’ll be miserable.
On the business front, things seem to be moving right a long. We’ve landed a couple of jobs since moving into the new house. We’re currently working on a custom application that will run on all three of the major operating systems, Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. I can’t divulge any information about the project of course, but I will post here once it has launched. Since I’ll legally be able to talk about it then. If all goes well we’ll be getting a contract with these companies, which will be very nice since we’ll have guaranteed full time work.
Went to Sun Valley Beach last Thursday with my in-laws. Seems it’s my birthday present. I’ll happily accept, I could use a day in the sun and get away from all the hustle and bustle of working for myself. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love working for myself and will most likely never go back to a 9-5 job if can I help it. I’ve been working for myself now for around 3 years and have loved every minute of it. My wife and son seem to enjoy it as well, I think they like being able to come see me anytime they’d like to.
Any ways, keep any eye out. I’ll be posting more now that everything has settled down and I’ve got more time to get things completed.
