Having Neighbors

I didn't grow up with neighbors in the traditional sense. I always wanted to live in a real neighborhood but this evaded me until adulthood. How ironic that we purchased our current home not in a real neighborhood. We have a bit of land, which is very convenient for my husband but no real neighbors. This past summer 2 homes were built in the open lot behind our house and as of Christmas, we have neighbors. I couldn't be more excited! They have kids the same ages as ours and seem to be such nice people. We had an impromptu dinner with one of the families last night (they are brother/sister neighbors, having built on their dad's land). It was what I dreamt about as a child. Now my kids have neighborhood kids to play with. I am so happy with this! Their oldest daughter is the same age as L and they play so well together. I envision many happy memories with these girls as they grow up together! Thanks again Neighbor for the Mexican food to satisfy my cravings!!!!
