Cul de sac-oh how I'll miss you!

Just in case you didn't know, at our apartment in Milwaukee we had the coolest neighbors ever. There were 4 buildings in our cul de sac with a total of 18 apartments. Over the 4 years the numbers fluxed depending on who moved in and out, but the definite majority of the tenants were young, LDS families just like us. We had residents, med students, law students, nursing students, anyway you get the point. We LOVED our cul de sac!!! We made so many great friends there! Everyone would congregate out on the front yards and just hang out and talk. We had BBQ's and game nights, girls nights, and birthdays. We were a regular party zone! One of our traditions that formed was Sunday night dessert night! We would all meet out front and eat some yummy treats and play some crochet or ladder golf. Here are some pictures from our last :''( tears) dessert night back on May 10th. Notice how is should be spring time and warm outside, but it wasn't everyone was all bundled up because it was pretty chilly!Here are the girls!

Katie, Anna, Jenny, Marshall (Cougar), Nolan, Tim, Lynn, Nikki, Amy, Shandra, Zehren

    Holly-first of all, way to document every single person in each picture, very impressive! I hope our wonderful cul-de-sac lives on. Only one couple is moving in and Regina has lowered rent to try and fill this place, but I think it is too late. :( It will be interesting to see what becomes of our cute and safe little place! Anyway, hope you guys are doing well and enjoying Kalamazoo!
