10 Reasons Owning a New Home Can Bring You Freedom
In the spirit of my favorite holiday, Independence Day, I have decided to give you the top ten reasons owning your own new home can bring YOU Independence!
10. You can paint the walls any color your heart desires without worrying what the landlord will say!
9. When you build your own home you get to choose what kind of design features you want to have in your house to really reflect your style. Like cut burber carpet? Its yours! What about those beautiful granite countertops? Yep that’s an option too!
8. You have your very own backyard available to throw a perfect Independence Day BBQ. No small apartment decks. No asking your parents if you can use their place. Nope! It’s just you, a couple of your favorite people, a grill and YOUR back yard to enjoy!
7. When you rent a place your rent seems to climb and climb every year, not so with a fixed rate mortgage. You know what your payment is, not to mention you get tax benefits for owning a home. All this equals more reliability, more equity and financial FREEDOM!
6. You remember that cute little cuddly puppy in the window? You know the one with the waggly tail. Well you don’t have to worry about asking your landlord if you can have one. No pet deposit either. So I sure hope that puppies for sale!
5. Hang those pictures to your heart’s content. No longer do you need to worry about loosing your deposit because it’s your house and you can put pictures up if you want to!
4. With the new tax credits there has never been a better time to own a home! When else will someone give you $8000 to buy a home? With $8000 you have the FREEDOM to go on vacation!
3. When you buy a NEW home you usually get a home warranty, meaning if anything goes wrong, you are covered. You are now free to breath easy. ;)
2. Speaking of breathing easy… Many new homes use the newest technology and the best and “greenest” building materials. In fact Campbell Homes is a 100% Energy Star tested builder! Now you can feel comfortable knowing you are living green, not to mention saving a little green on your utility bills!
1. When you own a home its all about freedom. Freedom to decorate and design your home as you please. Freedom to have your own yard to play in and plant whatever flowers you want. Freedom to put big welcome mats out, BBQ on YOUR patio, throw parties without upsetting the people who live downstairs and to all around own a piece of the American Dream… I just love freedom!
Happy Independence Day everyone!

Moving to Colorado Springs and don't know what to do for fun?
So you are thinking of moving to Colorado Springs and you don't know where to play?
I have lived in Colorado Springs, CO for over 12 years. I am a Colorado native and I am here to give you a couple tips about Colorado Springs, CO.
There is so much to do in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas but here are a few of my personal favorites (in no particular order)
1. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo: The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo offers an experience like no other zoo I have been to. Enjoy breathtaking views of Colorado Springs while feeding the Giraffes. Enjoy a ride on the sky lift or get some serious exercise hiking up the mountain all the while checking out the cool animals and even cooler views. This is a family friendly place but be sure to bring your walking shoes!
2. The Sky Sox: During baseball season there is no better way to spend a warm summer evening then at the security services field watching the local AAA baseball team and eating a yummy hot dog. Tuesday’s are the best time to go for us frugal spenders as everyone gets in for only $2. Sometimes if you are really lucky a Rockies player will be send down to play when they are recovering from an injury and they will sign autographs. Last year I got Matt Holiday and Tulo’s autographs!
3. First Thursdays at the Fine Arts Center: Every first Thursday of the month the Fine Arts Center downtown holds a wine tasting. Come enjoy wine, snacks, art and music at this event. I believe it is $25 each time but its always a great way to rub elbows with the Colorado Springs elite all the while enjoying a little culture.
4. Cave of the Winds: Every July in Colorado Springs temperatures start to peak and it can get steamy out! There is just no better place to be on one of those hot July days then exploring the caves at the Cave of the Winds.
5. Pikes Peak: I think it would be uncoloradian of me to not suggest a day trip to the top of Pikes Peak. There are 3 ways to get there: You can hike it up, you can drive up, or you can ride the cog railway up. I have only ever driven up because I like to stop and take pictures on the way. No matter how you go be sure to pack plenty of water (you WILL get sick if you don’t) and layers of clothes as it does get very chilly at the top. Oh and don’t forget the camera because you can see all that Colorado has to offer from the top and it’s a beautiful sight to see!
6. Territory Days in Old Colorado City: The Old Colorado City Merchant Association presents Territory Days 2009 to commemorate Old Colorado City as the first capitol of the Colorado Territory in 1861. Historic Old Colorado City has been celebrating “Territory Days” for 34 years. The very first event, in August 1975, was called “Rampart Range Sertoma Territory Days Parade and Buffalo Barbeque”. Territory Days has grown from a small neighborhood craft fair, parade and barbeque into a three-day street festival which now hosts over 180 craft, commercial and food booths. Between 80,000 and 140,000 guests, (depending on the weather), enjoy this event every Memorial weekend.
7. Garden of the Gods: camera? Check! Comfortable shoes? Check! Picnic packed? Check! Now that you are ready to go, head on over to see the Garden of the Gods. A fantastic place to walk around, picnic, sight see, and take phenomenal photos.
So those are just a few of my favorite local Colorado Springs play spots. Let me know if you have any questions and please feel free to leave your own Colorado Springs play ideas in the comments.
Also if you are thinking about moving to Colorado Springs and need a place to live check out Campbell Homes, a local Colorado Springs homebuilder since 1965 at www.campbellhomes.com.

Spring time in the Rockies
Did anyone have to deal with the snow this morning? On my way to work this morning I couldn’t help but feel grateful for having a garage to keep my car in. The worst is when you have to stand out in the freezing wet air scrapping your windows trying NOT to be late to work! Well that’s spring time in the Rockies and nothing helps remedy this problem more then a nice cozy garage to put your car and all your toys in. Well Campbell Homes not only offers every home we sell with a standard (at least) 2 car garage but several of our homes have standard 3 car garages AND we offer homes with a RV garage and 4 car garage options! Visit us online at www.campbellhomes.com today to find out more, and get your car out of the cold.
