I appreciate the guest post, Brendon Francis! ^_^

I love watching TV, probably more than most people do and even my husband is getting in on the game. He got us Direct TV for the house and we’ve been spending weeks and weeks watching sports and football and that’s been a lot of fun. It’s a level we get to bond on that a lot of my other married friends don’t really have which is cool. I love during the colder months making a big pot of soup or chili or something and inviting all our friends over and it’s just been great – we save money left and right spending our weekends this way and you know, I think there’s something to be said for taking some time to be alone but we live in such a fun city with so many other young people it just seems natural for us to constantly have people in and out of our house. I love that we’re the social headquarters for everyone and that we’ve got somewhere to call home for the two of us!
