Le Chateau Singleton has become a reality. Weeeeeee!

While most of the country is boo-hooing the current housing market, we first time homebuyers are yelling WOOT! I lucked into a cute two-story house on the east side of Nashville for a song (no pun intended). While the home-building experience had it's ups and downs, it is finally over and I own a little piece of grass on this big, blue ball!

Actually, I'm still waiting for it all to sink in. I don't FEEL like a homeowner. People tell me that comes with the first mortgage payment (yee haw). But I am slowly getting settled in and I hope the place is presentable in the near future. Decorating is the worst.....it takes me months to figure out where to put things on the walls. And now that they are MY walls, it's even harder! Puncturing holes in your own place is a little harder than an apartment. And I now know why people buy all new furniture when they move....my stuff just looks so drab and boring! I need to be on one of those HGTV shows.....make them come in and make my place look fab!

But I'm totally happy with my purchase. While I never expected to buy a house all by myself, it was a definite learning experience (and it will be kinda nice to do stuff to it that I don't have to run by someone else )

Let's see......last September I took my first trip to Europe.....this September I bought my first house.....what will I do for an encore NEXT September???
