Moving On

There are some changes going on in the neighborhood. Our next door neighbor came over to get our realtor's number today . Her husband is very ill with cancer...not too many more months to live. She is going to sell their house after he dies. They are nice people...older than us, but most our neighbors are. Our neighbor, on the other side, was out power washing his house today. He's talked about moving in the next year or so, too. Our neighbor directly across the street...his house was condemed(junk house). It's rumored he sold his house. I bet it will be torn down and at least 2 houses built in it's place. There have also been 4 new neighbors that have moved into other houses the last year. If we come back even a year later, I'm sure we will not recognize the people living here. A good time to go.

Looking forward to moving into the new neighborhood. We drove through it today on the way back from dropping off the truck. It is a typical subdivision. All the houses are newish. It will be a switch from our big lakeview lot. There are tons of kids...riding bikes and playing in yards. I hope the girls can make some friends in the neighborhood. The next door neighbor has a toddler so maybe Brianna can do some babysitting. I hope Shawn and I meet some couples that we can be friends with. I feel almost as nervous about this as the girls do about going to new schools. We will be so much closer to our neighbor with the smaller yard. I hope we can get along with our neighbors there at least as well as we do now.
