How Much Can We Take????

Okay, so our move has finally come to an end I think........We finally rented a truck and got the last of our things from the old house. This move has really confused poor little Aaron who when we first started staying at the new house, and we would be out and say lets go home, and he would see the new house he would tell us, "no this not our home, this is the new house". So we have started calling the old house, just that the old house.

Anyways, we recruited Rob's dad, and his brothers this weekend to make some final trips with the last of the things. So after we picked up the truck, I get a phone call from Rob asking me when the last time I had been at the old house, because someone took it upon themselves to mulch our flowerbeds and mow the front and back lawns. Well when they did that thats fine, if they want to spend the money on the house, but they destroyed some of our property! We quickly figured out that is was the lovely homeowners association. Well they destroyed our bird flight, which to some probably does not seem like a big deal, but it will cost them a pretty penny to replace! So we filed a police report, and I am heading down to the courthouse tomorrow morning to file an official civil suit. SO bottom line, we are suing the homeowners association for replacement! Wish us luck through this although it is pretty cut and dry, people came on to our property unauthorized and stole from us. I think we can all see who is at fault here! Oh and the kicker is, they claim to have sent a letter to us asking us to take care of things. The police even asked them if they sent this letter ceritfied, and they admitted no. Now considering that the president of the assoication is a para-legal, I think he should know that they have no leg to stand on for proof of notifying us of anything. I will keep everyone posted on how things are going!

But on a positive note, we have everything at the new house and it is really starting to feel like home!

Oh and we have the sweetest little old man that lives across the street from us. Today he brought over 2 vases of peonys flowers for us, and told us to cut as many as we would like from his 6 bushes as often as we would like! Thats what I call a friendly neighbor!!!!
