Showin’ the Love
I love my neighborhood. I may have said that before, but I really mean it. We moved to this house almost 3 years ago. We used to live just a 1.5 miles from here. I insisted that we buy a new house before we had another child. (And wouldn’t you know I got pregnant with Drew just 1 month after moving into this house? LOL) So we did.
We had no idea what this neighborhood would be like. I assumed it would be like our old one where nobody really paid much attention to anyone else. We all just did our own thing.
Life here is nothing like it was there! There are kids all over this block. They range in age, but that adds to the charm, if you ask me. One of our neighbors has a daughter 4 days younger than Sophia, and a son that’s 1 month older than Drew. How perfect, eh? And we like the parents. 
Last night, one of our neighbors, who doesn’t even have kids, invited me to dinner with the neighbors I was just talking about. We went to a VERY nice restaurant. I mean, I’m not sure I’ve ever been to such a nice place. It was “friends and family” night, and this particular neighbor’s brother is the dining room manager. So we ate there at 50% off. And seriously, it was just amazing. Great company, great food, great staff. I can’t wait to go back!!
After last night, I find myself thinking how blessed I am to be living in this neighborhood. To have neighbors who are interested in me as a person, and being involved in my life. It’s such an amazing feeling.
Lucky!
I like our neighborhood for the kids, there place is crawling with kids of all ages. But the parents are all a little lacking in personality, but oh well.
