I believe that Bryan and I will have new neighbors in the upcoming months. Currently the two lots next door to use are empty, but it looks like on of those lots will soon have a house built on it. And Bryan actually knows one of the future owners!
It was quite random how it all happened..
Saturday afternoon Bryan was outside washing his car when a van was driving by. Well, the stop at the lot next to us and Bryan realizes he recognizes the woman. Her name is Tina, and they went to college at Northwood together. Even more random then Bryan knowing her, Tina won the house at a Pistons game in March! She had the correct key to open a door.. How crazy is that! So her and her husband and their 16 month old now have a house. They're going to start building in the next few weeks.
I am excited to have more neighbors, especially another young family. Tom and Sarah, who live on the other side of this empty lot, also have a 16 month old baby. I think their kids are two days apart. It's nice to have lots of starting families. Plus more homes helps our property value..
How lucky they are to have won a house though - not a bad deal!
