User talk:911 New York Ave owner

On September 11, 2001 our lives changed whether we were there at the twin towers in all the cloudy muck or watching from a distance. This day became a sadden day where our lives were threaten by those a far. We then became the vunuerable, the weak, and the lost but only for a day in history. This day surely became a day where "We" as a whole joined hearts all across this country and we greived, together. We fastly showed the world that we were of the strong and could stand together to make our country strong again. This day in our lives in some way changed our lives. If we weren't grieving a loss of our own then we were greiving together for those whom did. Some how through our underlying strength found a way to pick up the shattered pieces and move forward. Since 9/11, my family has suffered many losses and have grieved through some of the most difficult times in our lives to finally have some peace and good fortune. As I look at the past 5 years of my life, I can't believe some times how we were able to make it to where we our now.

My husband and I were married on October 21, 2006 and would've been married soonier if it hadn't been for Hurricane Rita that devastated the gulf coast. We hadn't lived in our new home 4 weeks when Rita made her way through our home. Our home wasn't the only loss but then to make it worse my husband lost his job due to the devestation of his territory. Within 7 weeks after my parents evacuated, we find that my dad was ill with leukimia. I not only lost my dad but then lost my grandmother three months later. We moved three times before settleing here in Dallas in June 2007. We've had to work ourselves to death to establish ourselves financially and rebuild our lives. Everthing in our life over the last three years has been a constant struggle until 30 days ago. Some how we've found peace and good fortune that is only a grace from god above.

Here we are and I never would've imagined that my husband and I would be purchasing a new home with great significanace. I can't even believe we actually got financing through this economic crisis muchless working on aquiring a new home with the address 911 New York Ave within a growing subdivision in a town just 25 miles outside of Dallas, Texas. What makes this subdivision so unique is that the builders drafted the names of the streets from everyone's favorite board game of Monopoly and is laid out the same. I'm so estatic to own this address as a homestead. I have such great plans! I intend on not only putting a replica of the board card "New York Ave" in my yard, but intend on placing a memorial and the statue of liberty in my yard in rememberance of 9/11. I guess the only question that I keep asking myself is "am I the only person in america that owns this address?" My relator called this morning and stated that there are people actually offering to buy me out of my contract. I've searched the internet but can't find another 911 New York Ave anywhere. As odd as it may sound, I believe that of all the homes that are on the market, we feel in love with this home not even realizing the significance until now. I'm all chalking it up as a sign from god that this only proves that we can find happiness in all things even through the pain we sometime suffer. I'm just curious what everyone's thoughts are and certainly eager to find out if there is another 911 New York Ave out there. Even if there is, I'm thrilled anyway and think that it's totally cool.

911 New York Ave.
