won't you be my neighbor

A few weeks ago, I met a woman at the park.  Kaylea wanted to see her dog, so we walked over.  The woman asked me where I lived and when I told her, she said that our neighbors (Clayton & Ashley) bought a new house and were moving.  She mentioned that they were going to rent the house, but thought the renters would be in by March.  I really didn't think anything of it.  A few weeks passed and while driving home last time, I asked Jordy if he thought I should try to get in touch with the Richards to see if they were interested in renting their house to my mom.  So, I did what anyone nowadays would do - I searched them out on Facebook and sent a message.  He got back with me the next day and gave me his dad's number.  I figured they would want more than my mom was willing to spend, but thought it was worth calling about.  When I called, I confirmed that they wanted more than my mom wanted to pay.  I was disappointed to call back the next day to say she would have to pass.  However, when I called back, they generously lowered the price $300, right into my mom's price range.  It really was only a little bit more than she would have paid for a 2 bedroom apartment and she is not only going to have more room in this house, but she will also have a garage and us as her neighbors:)  They have been nothing but accommodating.  They are not going to make my mom move in until July (which is when her lease is up in Sellersburg).  They told me they were just happy to have someone they knew instead of random people renting.  So, it is set…mymom is going to be our neighbor in July.  I hope this all works out as well as I am expecting.  Hopefully, she and Jordy don't kill each other before her year lease is over!
