Won't You Be Our Neighbor


The house two houses down from our house is for sale, and we've decided we would like one of you - our friends and family to purchase it and live close-by! We've decided to nominate candidates - just in case you needed some encouragement - and provide some rational why this would be a good move for you! : )

Calvin & Sarah Shanks:
• You'll be moving back to Springfield in no time and all - and what better than to live by your favorite people the Greens. With the convenient proximity to James River Expwy. and the Cox campus - it couldn't be better located for a nurse who has just completed his degree!

Andrew & Sarah Baker
• Although there is the slight problem of that new job Andrew just got... This house is the one for you. It has grandparents within a 10 minute drive for free babysitting, meals, etc. The Springfield metro area is a budding urban environment waiting for visionaries such as yourself to take it into the 22nd century! Plus, two wonderful girl cousins would be just one backyard away!

Aaron & Sara Wyssmann
• You'll be moving in March of 2008 anyways...why not just move that up a bit. This house would put you close to James River and 65 for easy trips to either grandparents house. You'd have instant friends for your children, a great neighborhood pool and playground, refrigerator rights at our house, and the list goes on! We know it is a life-long dream to be our neighbors...this would just fulfill that dream!

Josh & Janel Metsker
• Okay, so you don't really want to move and we aren't located out in the country like you like...but how can you bet the selling point of having us less than 50 ft. away. We know you'll need lots of alone time to get reacquainted with one another after Josh returns from Iraq. We'd be willing to throw in 10 nights of free babysitting once the sale is final! : )

Grandma & Grandpa Baker
• This would be a bit of a down grade from your current home, farther from work, etc. ...but closer to those two cute smiling faces you love so much. Just think of all the family bonding time we could have...and we could get all enmeshed and watch each others activities over our back fences and peek in windows...sounds like fun doesn't it!?

If you feel you've been over looked in this nomination process feel free to leave a comment and we will take your request for nomination into consideration!

NO worries I don't feel left out, just enjoying your fabulous sense of humor!
We are close enough anyway.....hey what happened to you moving closer to me? Hmm guess that is out now!

No Way. You don't want me living any closer. Sarah and I curse like sailors, and we never mow our lawn. Not to mention you live in Springfield, its hard to get world-class sushi, organic food, and you can't play futbol year round.

We have some outstanding weather and there is some quality homes in our neighborhood. What the heck, you should think about moving to Austin, TX.

Miriam and Alex, I feel we have been left off the list because we have boys. (And possibly that we have never thought of moving to Misourri) We know our boys can be a bit rowdy, and a bit drooly and loud from time to time, but in a few months, or years rather, we feel they will be fine upstanding men. Your girls may agree with me someday, wanting ready-dates a couple houses down for middle school dances, proms, and the like... think about it... Love, Sherri
