Well.. the day is finally here. I started moving items from the rental house into my home last night. Tomorrow I will be moving the rest of my stuff into my new home and will be spending the first night there.I can not believe that the day as finally come.... I am now the proud owner of my second home.. but my FIRST BRAND NEW HOME... It's still feels like a dream to me some days.. but now that I have been slowly moving things in it's starting to feel like home... I can't even begin to explain the emotions that have been circling the last few days.... but the main one.. PRIDE... yes I might be doing a little bragging here.. but indulge me ok? I did it on my own.. I did it!!!!! I did it... what started out almost 2 years ago has become a reality with hard work and perseverance I own my own home.. alone! lol My own mother tried to talk me out of it.. which I know is her way of trying to protect me from more bills etc.. but a part of me wonders if she truly thought I couldn't do this on my own? Does she really feel that women shouldn't be so independent??? Man I hope not.. but ya know even that doesn't stop me from the joy I have knowing that I can do on my own... In the 5 years, almost 6, I have been on my own, it still kind of amazes me how much I can do on my own. My ex-husband was a good husband... but he wasn't home a lot.. and I was left to do just about everything I do now! lol BUT he was always telling me how to do things or how not to do things.. who to get to help etc... or actually telling me to wait until he got home and he'd do it. But that never happened. So many things got left undone because he never got to them. Always dictating, for loss of a better term, what should be done while he was away.. but never there to help... I know that I resented him for not being around much but now I realize that I resented him for treating me like I couldn't handle things on my own more... and now that I've worked through that resentment..I thank him .. not for leaving but thank him for giving me the opportunity to do it on my own. I thank him for the support he has given me while working on the new house and I thank him for being the best ex-husband and friend a person could ever wish for. I would also like to thank my friends here at MD who have supported and encouraged me.. you are all wonderful and I love you all very much... And last but not least.. Lotion Boy for all of the help he has given me the past few days moving.. even with a broken elbow...
