Ahh! New house!!

Guest written by our friend Mason Abbott

We finally closed on our new house last week! It’s so exciting! The house is so cute and it took us forever to find it (because we are awfully particular). The first thing we did was get an alarm system installed. The neighborhood is actually quite nice; we talked to some of the neighbors before we made an offer to discreetly ask about the crime rate in the area and the general consensus was that it was pretty low but I’m so paranoid, I insisted we get one and said we couldn’t move in until it was installed. In our usual sharing-the-load fashion, I did all the research at homesecurityfamily.com and made my husband do all the communication. We’re a really good team like that. It was installed a few days ago (we used the in-between time to work on painting and some minor repairs) so at last we are ready to start moving in! I usually have a hard time sleeping in new places - weird noises and things like that, you know - but I bet that security system is going to help me sleep like a dream. Thank goodness for technology, because honestly, my dogs are wusses and would probably be hiding under the bed with me instead of scaring off intruders.
