Neighbors & BBQs

I can't express how much we are enjoying our neighborhood. Compared to our last house with creepy neighbors peeking in windows, calling the police several times and crappy landlords that are worthless make this place a dreamland! Owning our first home has been an overwhelming and enjoyable adventure and we love the lake community and neighborhood. We sure traded up when it comes to neighbors too, the only peeking in windows is when the 5yr old is looking in to see if Jenna has got her shoes on yet to play outside:) I love having a family next door that we get along with and can enjoy good times with! We all BBQ'd last night enjoying the perfect weather. The older girls ran all over and were going strong until we had to pry them apart at midnight. It was so much fun to sit around as families and watch the kids play and have the adult conversation too! Now we just need to get Eric to work less so he can enjoy more! We plan to start doing it more often and the boys have already made plans for Saturday night fight watching, so now it is up to us girls to see what trouble we can get into:)

On a side note I am moving forward with my photography business and I am so excited. I have been getting lots of great tips from some that have their businesses in motion and have made some local contacts, there is a group of us that are going to start meeting. I will be meeting with the SBA for a consultation. My goal is to be up and running and have my portfolio complete in time for Christmas pictures!

awwww I am SOOOOO jelous... I would love to be able to live in that kind of community where you can just organise BBQs and have friend's next door etc!
We are actually blessed with lovely n eighbours who adore Georgie and often look after her (or just have her over for half hour/hour because they love her) and don't ask for anythign in return.... we help them when we can (they are fairly old and the guy's health is not great) but we live in a flat so a BBQ is out of the question lol!
So glad you have a great place with great neighbours to enjoy!
