Which most of you know is a HUGE deal for me. It is the LAST huge step of what I want in my life (aside from a relationship) that is left on my list. All other things have been

That is AWESOME. I would like to do the same at some point. I have owned before but went back to renting to get into the city. Congratulations - what a great accomplishment. I think once you start the hunting it wont be as scary for you. Good luck!!

Yay Cat!!! Congratulations!


So does that mean you've figured out where you want to stay now? I remember you having some discussion before about not knowing where you wanted to live. (if I don't have you mixed up with someone else). I guess TX is out of the choices, huh?!?


Have fun house-hunting! My next big purchase will be a new car... but not for awhile yet, as I'm still saving up (I have a big CD brewing just for a car purchase) and the ol' mommy-van is still running well. But that doesn't mean I don't still DREAM

This is a really huge deal, Cat. Can't wait to hear your stories!! And it seems this is a good time to look - there is a lot of inventory and interest rates are dropping. Congrats girl! You have worked hard for this and good things are yet to come!!

Well as Shrimpy figured, yes, I think I'm staying very clear from Texas. I am actually considering moving us to Wilmington (for those that are unfamiliar, its where I go surfing every weekend and it's 3 hours away from Charlotte) again, because I can now live anywhere now.


I have been looking here too and it's fun to do this with the girls now. :)


Edited to add: I think I'm mostly excited because EVERYTHING I ever accomplished, bought, dreamed of and succeeded at was because alone, without a man. So this is the last accomplishment. I've been able to make myself a 100% successful but when I was married, I wasn't allowed to. :( But in the last 7 years and prior to my marriage I seemed only to succeed when I was alone without the jealousy issues that a man had.

w000t myprecious! HUGE step that symbolizes one's independence, self sufficiency, and overall a measure how far you have come.

Don't forget to invite us to your housewarming party!

The girls and I love Wilmington. It is the only place they really still consider home, so that is why it's up in the air.
