I'm a homeowner!

After contemplating for awhile, I bought my first house and closed November 20, 2008. I had movers get the bulk of my stuff the next day, but had until December 8th to get completely out of my apartment, which gave me time to clean it up a bit. Even though I'm the third owner, the house is hardly 3 years old and in great shape. It's one and a half stories with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs and an extra game room and half bathroom upstairs.

It's in Murphy, which is just east of Plano and north of the Garland/Richardson area. It's actually right down the road from South Fork Ranch (from the TV Show "Dallas" and across the street from where my mom grew up). It's also in the neighborhood of R'achel's school, which makes it convenient for her to come see me. I'm still getting used to the size, and slowly trying to make it my own with more furniture and things. I also have to drive about 15 min. further to work, but it's worth it to be in a nice neighborhood.
