On Sunday, February 7, 2026 my husband and I happened to drive by an adoption event at Petco in Englewood. We've never looked at dogs together, we've always joked about getting my husband dog Roxy a puppy since she is almost 14 years old. So this day for some reason it felt right to go in. And our lives changed.
Three years ago I bought my first house. If you have been here for some time, you know where I've come from and how I could never believe this to be true! Let's start from the beginning.
11 years ago I was living in San Diego, I was married and I had a part time job. No savings, no retirement fund. But I was happy, or so I thought.
Today, I am living in Denver, with my new husband and a full time career path with a promotion in my sights. Savings, retirement fund and best buddy Simon (my cat) and husband's dog Roxy.
A far journey from wanting to be a stay at home mom. But I could not be any happier where I am at and the accomplishments I've done on my own for myself.
I cannot believe that in July of 2022 I was able to buy a house on my own. When I was married before, we never talked of BUYING a house and when I left, I certainly didn't think it was something I could do on my own. It was a very emotional process and I had a little help from my parents but now 3 years in, I've paid them back after the first year and I own my very own home.
I cannot wait to give you a tour!
I was able to snag Friday (7/24/26) tickets for myself & my husband (HIS 1ST TIME!!) to San Diego Comic Con 2026! I cannot wait to introduce him to the world & see you all again! Counting the days...
xx Meg aka The Nerdy Girlie ❤️
