I am hoping that someone will buy my moms home soon so that she can get up here and in a new home as well. There is nothing worse than waiting to be settled. Once you've made the decision to move it's hard to wait for your new adventure.
We waited a long time to move from Utah and were so happy to find our new home here. We love our house and it is just the right size for our family. So imagine our shock when we were asked to attend a meeting at city hall to discuss the possibility of developing our block. We have lived here two months and are not thrilled with the idea of moving. This is part of a huge downtown renewal that has apparently been going on for awhile. I attended the meeting last week with Hans dressed as Zelda, sword included and Olive dressed as Spongebob. I brought as much candy as I could fit in my purse and prayed for the best. Besides brandishing a sword to the Mayors neck they were pretty good.
The block has decided to let the city file a request for qualifications for developers and I guess we'll see what happens from there. It is an all or nothing deal so I feel pretty good about that. Our neighbor was advised that she should expect a minimum offer of $400,000. for her property so as you can imagine the entire block is ready to go and waiting on what we feel. I feel a little like the Brady's if you've ever seen the Brady Bunch movie.
Anyway, this is our new hangout. The mayor gave us chocolate after the meeting and as the City Hall is two blocks away every time we pass Hans wants to head in for some more. I think after all this developing business that's the least they can offer. Otherwise, they may be seeing more of Zelda's sword.
P.S. Did you see Hans' bitchin' new haircut? I did that! It's not a buzz but a real little boy haircut. It's no Aunt Kim cut but a huge step up for me. Oscar got one also, if I can get a photo of him I'll show you tommorrow.
