welcome to the neighborhood
well, we are now living in the new house and getting adjusted to living about thirty minutes away from all our friends. i would say that being farther from friends is the only negative i can find to living here. our neighborhood is awesome and has some quirks. one being that the city does not pick up our trash because we do not pay city taxes so we had to hire an independent trash pick up service. "he's an independent communications consultant. which means he's unemployed." (what movie?) anyway- our trash can got delivered the other day and i went out to look at it and on top it said No Hot Ashes in huge letters. But I thought it said No Hot Asses. Which I thought was hysterical and laughed at for about ten minutes. Yesterday we also received our first issue of "The Cambridge," which is the neighborhood newsletter. It's basically two sheets of white computer paper that asks if anyone wants to be in the neighborhood watch program or rent the clubhouse out for a birthday party. It does however, offer advertising. A full page for $50. One of the two full page ads in the "newsletter" was for Aflac insurance, purchased by our next door neighbor Joe Gussman, who is very northern and also very nice. Sidenote: the other full page ad was for an Allen Tate agent who listed all the homes in Cambridge that are for sale right now. So if anyone is interested in moving...let me know. So anyway, Mark and I are reading the newsletter together last night and he's like, "Awesome! Business card ads are only $7.50. I should put one in." And i was like, for what?? And then I realized that he has about thirty businesses he needs to advertise. Golf ball sales, GypsyBug.com, used laptop purchasing, and the list goes on.

Whoo-hoo GYPSY BUG!! My favorite business of Mark's! :)
Father of the Bride... classic reference
my favorite business was probably the golf ball business - just because it was so stinkin' hilarious that Mark would drive up to car salesmen and pop the trunk. the firewood business would be good too, but staci was right, it would take about 400 years. think of it as an investment for the future...
