Happy 4th everyone!

I am leaving to go down south to my parents tomorrow. I can't wait to see my sweet pea. I miss her so much. I'll be back on Friday.

Have a wonderful 4th of July. Eat lots of BBQ. And be safe.

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent.

My current facial expression ----> (Translation: "Uhhhhh....") Now I had only been looking at brand new furniture. I came across a website, Apartment Therapy , that I found very resourceful and pretty neat. I was inspired and started searching Craigs List
