I am so proud of him. He had a very hard life, some of it brought on by himself and part due to his upbringing. There was a lot of discrimination in his childhood w/his extended family. There are 4 boys and 2 girls. All 4 boys have gotten themselves in trouble with the law and each has spent time in jail.
When I met SO, he was struggling with getting full custody of his daughter. He spent 4 years fighting it and finally got it! Courts here will side with the mom, no matter if she is able to support herself, let alone a child. It was an uphill fight that he won.
We have been together 5 years. We have lived together for the last 2 years. He made the decision that he wanted to buy a house and HE DID IT!! I can't be prouder of where he is today and where he was just a short 7 years ago. His family is so very proud of him. He has gotten over so many obstacles in his life and he has matured into the man I love today.  (and the 5 years previous to today!)
Yesterday after closing we went to the house and started cleaning. It was great! Can't wait to get all settled into our new home.

Thank you! I am looking forward to color on the walls and not having to go up stairs anymore! (we live in an upstairs apartment right now)
