If you’re planning on looking for an apartment, hopefully some things I say here will aid you in your search. Also, you could probably just call me [...]
Well, 2011 has come to a close. This year has definitely been a lot of fun. I don’t really have too many ways to sum up everything that has gone on. I really don’t feel like doing yet another bulleted list of accolades and escapades. So here’s a still frame of my life since Monday, [...]
Amanda’s real estate website and her staging website have been combined. Both amandaholder.com and holderstaging.com will serve up the same site with much of the same content rolled into one blog.

I had an interesting conversation with our landlord the other night. It has sparked a lot of drama and a bit of inner anxiety. In the middle of our lease, our rent is going up. When he first told me that we needed to start sending more money starting in January I didn’t really have [...]
A little over two weeks ago Amanda and I helped out with a project at City of Refuge. It wasn’t anything too important, but it was big. We dismantled and moved a playground. The story we heard was that it collapsed while a bunch of kids were playing on it. The whole thing didn’t collapse, [...]

Apologies for the lack of activity lately. The hustle and bustle of my weekly routine took the life right out of my blog. It’s a little ironic that I stopped blogging because I felt busy and had no material but now have more thoughts swirling around than ever. One major blog related update is the [...]
