Hello to all. Many blessings your way. I hope that everything is well in you neck of the woods. I started my physical therapy and although it has only been two sessions, I feel like I have achieved so much already... Yeah on my way to recovery. I just can not wait to walk. To be able to do the things around my house. I would like to be able to enjoy all that the Pocono's has to offer. My husband and I have a side business and we clean summer rentals. People come from all over and rent this beautiful homes for their vacation stay. Not to brag but the Poconos truly is a place to visit all year around. It is the reason why I move here. Ever since I was a little girl I always dream that one day I would come here to visit. Watching the commercials to Mount Airy lodge at the time when I was young, I just knew that that is where I wanted to have my honeymoon. However , I never even thought in a million years that I would be able to afford a piece of this pie. My story started in New York. I was a young girl with a child struggling and ended moving to Virginia. Although it was beautiful there, the opportunities financial that I needed was not available to me. Making life there to difficult. By now you can imagine I am married and have three children and not the one I went down there with. So my husband and I decided that we would move back to New York with my parents look for jobs and then get our own place, And just like we plan , we did just that. But..... I have always been an over achiever, always wanted more out of life and never like to settle... I just feel like life has more to offer as long as we are willing to go after it. An ad in the paper caught my attention about buying a co-op apartment. So I applied and never in a million years did we expect to receive a call to talk to the board of directors about getting an apartment. Needless to say it was a great opportunity for us. It was 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. It was perfect. I was in heaven until my eldest daughter started high school and then it all hit the fan...

I had to be a mother and but her needs and the needs of my children first instead of mine. It was just a matter of time that my other children would fall in the same so I started looking at surrounding areas to move to. I look in Yonkers and Long Island and even Westchester but all not affordable. Now I started looking in New Jersey. Some affordable but not areas that the school had good reviews. I started to panic and then my lovely sister was invited to her bestfriend's sister's house out in the Pocono Mountain. So stars were in my eyes. It hit me... I was moving to the Pocono's.. I ask a lot of questions and did a lot of research. Now I just needed to look for a mortgage first. See most people look for a house first and therefore overbuy a house that they can not afford. I wanted to get qualify first and see what I can afford before I started looking. And so I did just that.I also needed to make sure that if I was going to keep my job , I needed to be close to the commuter bus. The rest is history... It has been a sacrifice but now I have 3 children that all graduated from high school and went to college. I can say that if needed to, I will do it all over again...
