Peer Pressure Works
My constant barrage of “fun facts” about Michigan seems to be paying off. Shawn is starting to be into the idea of a move back to my beloved home state. He started off by saying that he was “considering” it, then he said he was “seriously considering” it, now he says he’s “very seriously considering” it. Hooray! My lists, diagrams, and constant nagging have been a success. He even asked about the logistics of having my parents help us with the move back in the Spring.
It was fun out here for a while, but I’m so ready to go home. I love the idea of having Noah and Lima Bean grow up near their cousins, Uncle and Aunt, and Grandma and Grandpa. And I miss my friends back home. HOWEVER, I’m sure that I will spend the winters trapped inside saying, “What in the HELL was I thinking!!!” Oh well. There’s always fireplaces and cocoa and trips out to California to visit Shawn’s family.
I hope that he continues to get on board with this idea, because my heart is set on moving now and I’ll be really sad if it doesn’t work out….And Shawn will never know peace again

You know you want more 2 Live Crew deck dance parties! AND… we’ll be at the lake soon enough. LAKE 2 Live Crew dance parties! What’s better than that?!

But you have to move back to the A2 area…because all my peeps are moving away and I need friends! I will babysit! I promise! By the time I get around to having kids all my eggs will have withered away and fallen out of my body, so I need to live vicariously through your baby-making!
Ann Arbor…Gallup Park…Aut Bar brunch…Kerrytown…Banditos…me…

Who is the maker of these lyrics???
Deck Dance Party was awesome!!! And I know Shawn loved it, so that may actually be enough to lure him back. Absinthe and 2 Live Crew – ahhhh yeah!

I would LOVE to move back to A2! And I can’t wait to hang out with you WHEN we get back. You just have to promise not to move to DC or somewhere in the meantime.
Btw you’re still a youngster! There’s plenty of time for baby-making. I didn’t get started until just last year and now I’m a baby-making machine.

Oh you would make you Mom sooooooooooooo happy if you moved back. I can hardly let myself believe you will. ( Layers is the trick for winter.)

I hope that Shawn will get on board. I’d love to be back there and see the family!

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU NEED TO LIVE…. (MWAH HAHAHAHA)….
Why, near me, of course!
Besdies, I second what Birgit said, “I will babysit! I promise! By the time I get around to having kids all my eggs will have withered away and fallen out of my body, so I need to live vicariously through your baby-makin”
I’m in the same boat. *sigh*

Kelly – You girls are so silly! You both have plenty o’ eggs left! But I would be happy to move close to any of you fine people! And I promise to share my babies with you guys. It will be great to finally introduce them to their “aunts.”

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAACHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! (Or Grand Rapids…. That is super close to me, too!)

Why do I get the impression that some sort of “Which Town for the P’s” Showdown could ensue!
Oh, that would be awesome! Winner takes all!
July 29th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Haha, shucks, you guys are making us feel so wanted!!!!
P.S. I edited out our last name to maintain our sense of mystery

Melissa, If you do move back…we will really miss you but we would be happy for you. You can always come out and stay at the beach house as long as we have it for the winter. Kisses, Deb

Phew… Then should some war o’ Melissa be waged, I’m safe!!! And DUH of course y’all are wanted!!! P POPULARITY something or other (I was going for some sort of alliterational thing, but my brain is fried

Deb – Thanks! That would be the best of both worlds!
