One of the many reasons that I wanted to move was to live in a neighborhood where people were outside. Kids playing, grown ups talking. We didn't have that on our old street. Sure we knew a few of our neighbors really well but on our whole block I think I knew 5 families. We really only ever spent time with Kris and Steve. I wanted my kids to grow up in a neighborhood with kids and lots of them. I also wouldn't mind if Brian and I made a few new friends in the process too.
Tonight we went over to Jake and Elyse's house where we also met Paul, Amy and their son Ethan.
Jake and Elyse have a house like ours but because our houses are 'custom built' they are all different on the inside. Based upon the changes or differences that each of us made. They have a HUGE island with a beverage cooler and shelves built into the side. They went with white trim and a white kitchen. It is beautiful!
Everyone we have met so far is so nice and we hear that there are tons of kids on the block.
YES! I can't wait!
