stonebridge ranch: Cupid's Couples Run 5K - McKinney TX | Double the Spandex! Double the FUN! - 02/01/11 10:32 AM
Each year as Valentine's Day approaches, I always think about 2 things: #1. The end of the Gluttonfest that runs from Halloween thru Valentine's Day. Inevitably, every year, I gain the L-B's slow and steady from Halloween (mini Snickers and Candy Corn get me every time), to Thanksgiving (hello, pumpkin pie & pumpkin lattes) on to Christmas (mmm...cookie!) and then quickly ahead to New Years Eve (give me an "A" for cheesy, fatty Appetizers galore!) and then my birthday (always a special dinner!) until V-Day (last hurrah). which always leads me to think about... #2. The serious POUNDS I need to … (1 comments)

stonebridge ranch: A Closer Look at the Stonebridge Ranch Race Series | Running Events in McKinney TX - 01/12/11 01:35 PM
About 18 months ago I started "running". I use the necessary quotations because if you were to look at my pace, it technically qualifies somewhere just above walking. Jogging might be a better word for what I do.
Some of you reading this might know exactly what I mean. Those of you reading will fall into one of three groups: a) "real" runners who kind of smile and give an "awww...isn't that cute...that girl thinks she's running" as you blow past me to place in your age group, b.) you're a turtle just like me and you're PROUD of it, or … (2 comments)

stonebridge ranch: McKinney Builder Report - David Weekley Homes in Aspendale at Stonebridge Ranch - 03/10/08 02:29 PM
Today I had the pleasure of helping one of my clients purchase a home in one of my favorite new Stonebridge Ranch communities - Aspendale. Aspendale features homes from the $240's on up, between 2100-3200 square feet. Amy Brownlee, the sales person for David Weekley, was an absolute professional and so wonderful to work with. She's been with David Weekley for over 8 years and knows her stuff. It really makes a difference when you have such an experienced sales person to deal with (fellow REALTORS, you can back me on that!).
One of the reasons David Weekley has such a great … (0 comments)

stonebridge ranch: Adriatica - A Real Croatian Village in McKinney (Stonebridge Ranch) Texas! Part 1 - 07/23/07 08:21 AM
Adriatica at Stonebridge Ranch is one of the newest and most innovative concepts in living that Texas has ever seen. As a resident, and as a Realtor in McKinney, I admit that the completion of this area is one of the things I am really looking forward to. 
So what exactly is Adriatica? Many who drive by refer to it as the "Croatian Village" or "that area where all the buildings are made of stones". Here are some photos from the Adriatica website that serve as the inspiration behind Adriatica and what we might expect it to look like upon completion.

stonebridge ranch: McKinney is the Nation's 2nd Fastest Growing City! - 07/09/07 04:36 PM
The U.S. Census estimates revealed that McKinney is ranked the second-fastest growing city in the nation with over 100,000 residents. Only North Las Vegas leads McKinney. There was an 11.1% increase in growth over the 12 months between July 2005 - July 2006.
What does this mean? To me it means that McKinney must be doing something right! As a resident I can appreciate the superior schools, shopping, entertainment, affordability and great community feel. It's difficult to describe, but when I have out-of-town clients I find that the city speaks for itself. Drive through any of the streets along the Crape Myrtle Trails, … (0 comments)
