Welcome home!

So for those of you that do not already know, I have purchased my first home. It was a fluke really. I didn't plan on this for several more years, but with rising rental costs, it was the practical thing to do. After one foreclosure and one nightmare "almost" purchase, I settled on my third finding and am thrilled with my choice.

I began searching in September, and feel like after all the effort and stress, I truly found a great house. I pay Richardson taxes (plus) and yet my district can attend Plano schools (best of both worlds). my foundation is intact (which is unheard of in Texas) and I hope it stays that way. I closed on Thursday and then flew out Saturday to meet my new nephew Ryan, but can't wait to get back and begin work on the place. I have decided to awaken my dusty blog and revamp it with updates from my house. I plan on going room by room, and will include before and after photos. This will be no easy task, but I am so excited to get moved in and start the renovations.
