When I got sober I lived in an aluminum shed that was made up into a one bedroom cottage. I lived there over 3 years. Then I moved into a 2 bedroom apt. that was a step up but I hated it. My boss let me rent a 2 bedroom house that I am living in now. Yesterday I closed on a double lotted 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house with an inground POOL in Fort Lauderdale. I've been trying to buy this house since April and if it wasn't for my wonderful boss I would have given up ages ago. Sobriety has been so good to me and I am so grateful for my life (today) I have no words. Life is good. I never thought I would be a homeowner again. Miracles happen if we stay sober.
KAT AWESOME FOR YOU !!!!!!
LIKE THEY SAY ...."YOUVE COME ALONG WAY BABY"

Excuse me but what about your wonderful BFF who has had to listen to you and has had the faith when you lacked it? <beg>
You know how proud I am of you and watching you do the footwork, work the program, give it to God and let him handle the results shows me how this works and how hard you work at your recovery. You are the best and I am so grateful that I have my own bedroom at your new house, I mean I am so grateful that you get to enjoy the promises and I cannot wait to sit poolside and drink iced coffee's....
Congrats to Mike too....poor guy is probably estatic that you finally closed...
Now when are you moving in?? You packed?
Smooches
Move? Heck, we just applied for the permit for the roof and the pool is still cloudy. Ew.
I'm happy for you Kat, that's amazing. I can't wait to know what it feels like to be a home owner... one day.... sigh. lol
Good for you! I wanna see some pictures... and you'll have your very own yard???? I'm jealous. ;)

Congrats Kat, I know you having been waiting and praying for this day to come for awhile. Couldn't have happened to a better person. I am so jealous I love Ft. Lauderdale. Hoping to visit there next year for our 20th wedding anniversary. Shantel
Once we move in you are all invited to a winter pool party! OMG I can't imagine being able to swim in my own pool in December! I'm hoping to have a party for the holidays if we can afford it. I have so many new friends that I owe my sobriety to I can't wait to show them what can happen if we stay sober.
