Two years ago today...

Exactly two years ago today I purchased my home here in Congress Heights. It was an accumulation of a long dream to purchase my first home and I am happy that it was realized in Congress Heights. I still feel the same way I did two years ago - that Congress Heights was a great investment and a great housing option. I am sure that there are fellow Ward 8 and Congress Heights homeowners (especailly first time homeowners such as myself) who are just as happy with their decision. Contrary to the popular misconception Ward 8 is definetly a GREAT housing option, you see it in HUGE influx of new residents - especailly young, single professionals (black and white) who now call Ward 8 home.

Old or new, black or white, rich or poor, white collar or blue collar we are all WARD 8 RESIDENTS and as residents we need to remember that we are all in this together. No one forced us to live here - we CHOSE to live here and as such we all have a voice and a say and we should look for ways to unite us - not set us apart.

Anyhoo -enough of all the sappy talk. Now where is that cupcake?!!! :)
