    Talking Its official. I am a home owner!!

    Finally after many delays, I closed on my house this past Thursday the 15th!! We have been living here since last Friday the 9th though, I paid some rent to live here until the closing. I am almost all unpacked. Of course, I have a leak in my shower and need to call a plumber. My boyfriend and ex-dh tried to fix the leak but the stem is rusted and worn and won't come out with a seat wrench. So, I am not taking any chances to fix this on our own! I cannot believe how much room we have here! I went from a 800-something sq. ft mobile home to a 1450 sq ft house with a huge garage and shed. I have a lot of extra room. The kids love having their own rooms. We are all just glad the closing finally happened. It seemed like it would never happen!

    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start,
    anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
