It's Finally Ours!

Today, Mel and I finally signed the papers to make the house we are buying in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, ours! It was about time. The closing kept getting delayed again and again. Finally though, it is done!

It being Monday, Mel had to work today, so prior to the closing Emma and I went to the Mall of America where we had lunch and checked out a couple of stores, the Lego and Apple stores. As we were on our way through Nickelodeon Universe, the amusement park in the center of the mall. We passed by character meet and greet area where we saw SpongeBob SquarePants. So, I decided that Emma might like to meet him, so we got in line (it wasn’t very long) and Emma met SpongeBob. She seemed to enjoy standing next to the yellow, rectangular-shaped prism of a cartoon character. She yanked on his tie until I took her picture. We might have to go back some time to see other beloved characters from Nickelodeon programs.
