Everyone wants a storybook ending, their own happily ever after per se.  In most storybooks that includes the prince (or princess), the castle, and maybe even a little bit of magic in between.  Your Houston professional movers want to bring your once fantasy fairytale ending to reality.  They can’t promise you the prince (or princess) or even the magic, but they can promise you the castle; if you choose to buy it that is.  The Moroccan Palace, an 8,900,000 million dollar palace located in Houston, Texas, appears to be the palace directly from the fairytale Aladdin.  Joining the Moroccan Palace is the Haines Shoe House, the Spadena Witch House, and the Searles Castle; all “storybook” homes which are for sale.  Who says fairytales don’t exist?

Nearly all of the streets in West University Place, a small city on the outskirts of Houston, Texas, are named after colleges, authors and poets. This is quite fitting considering that 85 percent of adults in West University Place hold bachelor’s degrees, the highest percentage in any Southern community. As of 2000, West University Place is the 8th wealthiest location in Texas by per capita income. It is no surprise that this strong education background is a vital reason why West University Place continues to develop as one of the most desirable and prosperous parts of the Houston area. Should you choose West University Place as your home to be, your Houston moving professionals are committed to providing you with a positive and stress free experience.

Tech enthusiasts in Houston will have a treat on the 16th and 17th of this month! A recent film entitled, “Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview,” will be shown in Houston at the River Oaks Theatre on W. Gray Street. An unedited interview will be played in its entirety, as the film’s title suggests, and this interview has only been viewed by most in small excerpts; your Houston area mover here expects that there will be quite a turnout for the Houston showings of ‘The Lost Interview.’ A VHS copy of the 1995 Jobs interview was located in London recently, and was restored in order to be featured in the seventy-minute-long film. Your relocation specialists in Houston here are among the millions worldwide who are fascinated by Steve Jobs’ legacy which he left behind early last month. Though he has passed on, Jobs’ life’s work will live on forever and will, as he said, “[be] spread around to everybody so that everybody grows up with better things.”

Your Houston mover here just came across a rather heart-warming story which should have the same effect on anybody who may learn of it. Two-year-old Lia Vega has just recently been labeled a hero after saving her mommy’s life last Thursday. Larissa Taylor, Lia’s mother, was at her mother-in-law’s home with Lia and her baby sister, Lexi, when she fell unconscious and collapsed on the floor. Upon seeing her mom in danger, little Lia leapt to action and called her grandmother on mommy’s cell phone. Your Houston area movers are super impressed by Lia’s superhero-like instincts that saved her mother’s life. Way to go, Lia!

If you have just moved to the Houston area and you’re a mom, your Houston movers here have an idea for how to spend your day tomorrow. The Children’s Museum of Houston is calling all moms to come to tomorrow’s Mommy Mingle. With school back in session, what better way to meet new people in Houston who all have one thing in common: being a mom! Free coffee and breakfast will be provided to all attendees and you can even bring your little ones who are still a little young for school to play in the Tot*Spot alcove! There will be a chance to enter in the Mommy Mingle Snapshot Facebook Contest as well, each Wednesday a new winner will be announced and will win a special prize! For moms who have recently completed a move to Houston, tomorrow’s events at the Children’s Museum of Houston sound like a blast!

For job opportunity, there is virtually no better place to be in this country than right here in Houston. Within the last year, Houston has introduced more than 65,000 new jobs to the market; and that is pretty impressive considering this figure doesn’t even reflect new farm jobs. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics show that out of 100 Houston area industries, 77 saw an increase of positions since last year around this same time.

The moving industry is one of many here in Houston which happily welcomed the creation of new local-area jobs. Additions which make perfect sense when you consider the large number of people moving to Houston due to the spike in job openings.

This weekend in Houston a computer will play a minister role and join Miguel Hanson and Diana Wesley in holy matrimony! That’s right, a computer! Nicknamed “Rev. Bit” the computer program written by the groom-to-be will complete the geek-themed wedding of the self-professed nerd couple. The wedding cake will even feature Nerds candy instead of icing. Being married by a robot minister… What next? Robotic relocation services? Your professional movers in Houston here certainly hope not! Though Miguel did surprise us all by creating Rev. Bit. Perhaps he has other plans up his sleeve!

Did you know that Houston is the number one city for new millionaires? There are nearly 100,000 millionaires in the Houston area. Within the last couple of years, the rapid increase of millionaires moving to Houston caused the number of millionaires to swell by roughly ten percent. The growth in local millionaires is directly connected to the fossil fuel presence in Houston. It is good to see that somebody is benefiting from the seemingly constant rise in gas prices! Your Houston movers have definitely taken notice of both the increase in people moving to Houston AND the rise in fuel cost. Not too pleased with the latter!

The winner of Survivor: Redemption Island has been announced after yesterday’s two hour special. For those who have yet to see the season finale, your Houston mover won’t spoil the surprise for you. If you would like to find out who the winner was, watch the episode or research! Even if you haven’t seen it, there is no question that each of the eight contestants who were still remaining share one thing in common: they can’t wait to move back to civilization! Moving is a physically demanding job, there’s no doubt about that! However; even with the constant lifting of heavy items and hustling back and forth between the moving truck and your homes, our movers at least get to enjoy a good meal and comfortable night’s sleep at the end of each day! That is more than what can be said about the day-to-day life of Survivor castaways! Hats off to each of the contestants, the comfortable beds they are soon to lay their heads on surely have never felt quite so good!

The power failure which began late on Monday night is, for the most part, restored to normal in Houston. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries –minor or serious– which is excellent news considering a similar incident back in 2005. That year a BP unit lost power causing a deadly explosion which claimed the lives of fifteen people. Serious power loss occurring twice in one decade is too often if you consider that lives may be at risk. Your pro Houston movers are happy to handle your relocation needs, especially if it is for the benefit of your health and peace-of-mind! Safety concerns surrounding the power failure this week may be at bay for now… But for how long?
