OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!

NOVEMBER 10, 2010 WAS A RED LETTER DAY!!!!

A day that I believe every couple dreams about, and one that Mickey and I have worked hard for during the 52 years, 1 month and 6 days of our marriage -

WE PAID OFF OUR HOUSE!!!!!

We were within 10 months of having it paid off and this morning we just decided to take the money out of savings and pay it off and we did.

I cannot tell you what a joy and wonderful feeling it is to know that we own your little 1/3 acre tract of land and stone home FREE and CLEAR.


Mickey, holding up our amoritazation schedule showing our balance as we prepare to enter our Credit Union.


Me, holding up the receipt of payment that shows a balance of $-0- as we exit and prepare to leave.

During the 52 years of our marriage we have been blessed to live in in 8 different houses we were in the process of purchasing at the time. We only rented for 3 very short periods of time. Once in 1961 when Mickey was first transferred to Denver and we rented for a house for a short time before purchasing a home there. Once in 1964. when we first moved to Tulsa. we rented a house 3 blocks from the first Tulsa house we bought. The last time was in 1985 when we moved back to Albuquerque, due to my mothers health, even though we still owned our home here in Tulsa.

Thanks for letting me share our good news!!!! Believe me, it is a milestone in our lives.

Our other GOOD NEWS ----- Suzette has had 7 good days since getting the fluid drained off her lung last Wednesday. We went out and spent yesterday afternoon visiting with her. We took her a beautiful musical background CD on HEALING with over 42 healing scriptures that one of my wonderful friends had bought for her. The three of us listened to it together. We also stopped and bought her a Chocolate malt. Of course I had to get me one, too!!! It was a nice, peaceful, blessed time. Her second Chemo treatment will be a week from tomorrow on the 18th.

Thank you to all of you who have left her a message on her Caring Bridge site. It means a lot to her to know that so very many are praying for her. She said again yesterday, "I am going to be a miracle."

That has to be the best feeling to have that paid off!!! And Praise the best healer of all for the good days suzette is having....

CONGRATULATIONS! That has to be an awesome feeling. I remember when I paid off my car early. It was great. I'm whittling away on the house note and I'd love to be taking that same picture you did. I'm so happy for you both.
So glad Suzette is feeling good and keeping her strength up. I know she will be a miracle too.
Praying in agreement,
♥ Joy

Praise the Lord for the good days for Suzette! I'm happy you were able to go out and enjoy being together.

Wish you had a sticky note on the top of your blog with the caring bridge link. I had it and now cannot find it.
