I own my very first house!!!

I am happier now than I ever thought I would be!!! The only thing that would make this time in my life better would be if TJ wasn't so far away and could be here to enjoy it with me. I miss her terribly and if it weren't for all her help and support for the last few years I never would have been able to do this. I also have to say that having MT in my life now has made this move less stressful and more enjoyable than any other move in my life! Having him to share in my life has been a wonderful surprise, never thought I'd feel like this again! DT is happy here and being a big help. MJ isn't as happy yet, but I'm still hoping that this is going to be the change he needs in his life to get back on track.



As far as details, I got the keys to the most wonderful house in the world on Dec 18th and have been moving things when possible since then. With MT, MJ, and DT's help it has gone very well, although with the holidays it has taken quite awhile. All that's needed now, is to go clean up the rooms at AA's and get the last few things out there. MT and his family are wonderful, I couldn't have done this without them. The time that we get to spend out there with his family is so much fun that it almost feels as good as when I'm with my own family.



Need to get out and find out what services that offer for DT here this week. MJ needs to get out and find a job. I need to go apply with a couple places this week myself because now that I have a house...I've been furloughed and I don't know how long it will last. Just my luck, but I'll figure out how to manage until they do call me back. I need to get in touch with my friend that blogs, but don't know how to reach her...sooooo KV Call me! *S*

Awesome ! ! !
I have still never owned a house although DG and I were buying the one on Brookdale... from March to December 1982. DG and I lived in a couple of houses that we were buying in theory...remodeling rent to own places which we never lived in finished...
You are amazing! I am very happy for you and am very anxious to see pictures... how big? what color? how many bedrooms? how many guest rooms/ ;-Þ what sort of kitchen? garage? pool? my dad's second wife had one, he sez they are more trouble than they are worth.
My brother Eddie and his wife had their first baby 6 January 2009. 8lb 14oz 20in Maizey sp? Elaine. They have been married 7 or 8 years and never had any "luck" so were surprised when they actually hit pregnant ;-}
Your name sake got married yesterday, 13 Jan 2009, to an army boy... sound familiar? Sincerely hope things go better (smoother,happier,longer) for Mr and Mrs Demott, eh? My grandson is due end of April, beginning of May. Opps, hope you were sitting down. I will find my old cell phone with your phone # and meanwhile I will email you my #. I love you! xoxoxox
