Welcome to Loving Home. This blog is a coming of age type blog. Coming of age in my 50’s that is. You see, about a year and a half ago, I got remarried. It has been wonderful in every way. About seven months into our new life together, my husband left his place of employment. I must add that it was probably the best move of his life. Don’t get me wrong, it was quite nerve wracking to make that type of leap of faith. Rewind to almost exactly two years earlier. We had done some ground work to open a new business. It really never got off the ground because we were waiting for the perfect timing. When the leap of faith transpired, we decided to kick the business into gear. Ron has had his own contracting business before. It was in the 80’s. Life seemed much simpler then. When we jumped in it was 2018, things are a bit different. Needless to say, business has changed since the advent of computers, internet and online everything. Well, we did it! It took a couple months of setup work, but we were soon doing business. In November, I made my leap of faith into our new business. I had done clerical work for a construction business previous. With his talent and my business knowledge, we now are running a small handyman business named Home Entry Solutions. We do just about everything home. Right now, everyone wants new floors, so, it seems to be flooring season. It is busy but very fulfilling work. (Home #! and loving it)
Before we got married we decided to look for a house for the two of us to live in after the wedding to start our lives together. We look at homes in our price range. All the homes that we saw were going to need some work, a lot of work to make them what we were looking for. After much thought, we decided to add onto my (now our) home. It was a 20′ x 28′ addition, One floor living because we are not getting any younger,. It has a new 20′ x 20′ bedroom, laundry area on the first floor, large mud room with lots of storage. We did a lot of the work. We also gutted and remodeled the bathroom, took down a bearing wall and spruced up the living and dining rooms. Needless to say, we got what we wanted in our house. It was wonderful working with someone that knew how to do all these things. Now, we are happy in our home. (Home #2 and loving it)
There are many aspects of loving home that I have not touched on today, like our eight grown children between the two of us. How we are simplifying our previous chaotic lives (chaos still exists sometimes), remodeling styles, food (there is ALWAYS food). These will have to wait until a later date when we check in again.
Love your life today, your home, your family, and whatever makes you tick… Loving Home Jeannie
