We Both Travel

Guest post from: Constance Rodgers

My wife and I both travel a lot for work, so most of the time our house is either unattended or only one of us is home. We didn’t mean for things to turn out this way, but we were both given promotions at work at the same time, and both positions happened to require travel. Neither one of us wanted to give up the opportunity for advancement, so we decided to postpone having kids instead. For now, we are both happy in our jobs, but we have one problem. We feel like we need to set up some home security monitoring since we are never home, but we can’t decide how far we want to take it. We don’t have a lot of valuables in our home, but we also would hate to think of anything bad happening. We have thought about setting up a camera so that if anyone does get in, we will know exactly what happened. My wife thinks that would be extreme. She thinks we should just get a normal alarm that will notify police and sound if someone tries to break in.
