New Start

It's hard to believe how time has flown, but it's been three years since I've written in this blog. The last few years have been full of both fun and heartache, struggle and success, but for better or worse, I didn't feel the need or desire to write about them. Now, my husband Nate and I are officially starting a new chapter in our lives, and I'm excited to begin writing again.

Without further ado, I'm thrilled to announce that a few days ago we closed on the purchase of our first home!

Here we are on closing day with our realtor, Sandy, who gave us this gorgeous welcome mat for our new home.

Friends and those who have been following our story for many years will know this is a big milestone for us. We've never been shy to share about our journey towards Financial Peace because we know our transparency can help inspire others in the same way we were inspired when we first started. After 5 years of dedication and hard work while following Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps, we are so excited that the time has finally come!

I know everyone is super curious to see pictures of the house. I can assure you they are coming, but for now, maybe these details will help appease you:

The Piatt Family's New House

• 1960s brick ranch
• 3 beds | 2 baths | 1,513 sqft
• 2-car garage
• Large fenced backyard (essential for our 2 pups)

We had a great experience with our realtor, Sandy, and would definitely recommend her to anyone in the DFW area who might be looking for a house. Several people have asked about the doormat she got for us, which we absolutely LOVE. The quality is really stunning in person. Links will be at the end of this post for anyone who is interested.

I'm so excited to begin sharing about our lives again, and not surprisingly, the focus will mostly be on the house and moving in, especially for the next few months. We have the entire month of May to transition out of our apartment and into our new home. Nate and I are so grateful we aren't going to be rushing moving and can go at our own pace! The next several weeks will be filled with getting new carpet, painting, and of course, SO.MUCH.PACKING and UNPACKING. We hope you will enjoy following along with us as we get settled and reveal pictures along the way!
