I'm NOT changing my name to rbli. But I AM buying a house... [View All]

...on Long Island.

I grew up in apartment buildings. I've almost always lived in an apartment. (Sometimes in a tent or a car...)

I remember when I was little, I used to go up on the roof of our apartment building and look at all the houses in the surrounding neighborhood. I used to wish I lived in one. I used to dream about what it must be like to have a yard and a family room and a driveway. The thing I wanted most in the whole world was to grow up in a house.

My son is 2 and 1/2. I can't believe we were able to do it. But we're moving to our first house, our first HOME, in 2 months. My son will have a room big enough for all his toys, and a yard with a swing and a sandbox. Every parent wants to be able to give their child more than they had when they were growing up. I'm so thankful that my son is going to grow up in a house. I'm so LUCKY!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I hope I can get close to becoming worthy of this fantastic fortune. I never in my whole life thought that this could happen to me.
