So I apartment hopped a lot when DD was little and ALWAYS wanted to provide her with a house and a big backyard for her to play in. Then along came DS and we hopped a few more times. I never was able to buy anything because I didn't have a large enough down payment so I didn't think it was an option. Anyway, XH and I bought this house in 2008 so I was finally a homeowner, with the help from XH.
Anyway, I just signed all of the paperwork (after months of jumping through financial hoops) so my house is officially MINE!! I'm beyond thrilled to know that I'm finally the sole owner of my house and that tie with XH is now severed!!
