Kevin and I bought our first home!!! We are beyond thrilled to be new homeowners. We have lived in my small 700 square foot condo (The Ballard) for the past 2.5 years. Obviously, we were comfortable but our hearts were never planted there.  But I knew that God had a plan for us and so we waited patiently until the time was right. A few months ago (Aug. 27th to be exact) a beautiful 1929 English Tudor in a fantastic neighborhood became available so we jumped. I sent Kevin an email (heading “My Dream Home”) the day it came onto the market, and that afternoon we made arrangements with our Agent (Carol Ard) to check it out. The next day we went for a visit. I walked in to the beautiful jewel and immediately had that good feeling (which I believe goes a long way in home buying!) and 3 days later we made the offer.

We refinished the floors, gutted and remodeled the kitchen and 1st floor bath, painted, added insulation, all new plumbing and updated the knob and tube electrical.  Most everything so we had a clean slate to move in. There’s a LOT more to do- the old house needs work! We’ll keep you up to date…Y’all will probably want us to shut-up about my little jewel box by the end of it.
