New Neighbors

As of this weekend, we officially have new next-door neighbors. Heidi and Patrick have technically owned their house for longer than we've owned ours, but they've been lovingly gutting and renovating it until last week. It looks completely amazing, and the most amazing thing is that Patrick did the bulk of the work himself. (Jason is secretly excited to have such a handy person living feet away!)

And now, finally, we're thrilled to look over and see them on the porch, say a daily "hi" to Jonathan, and just know they're there. We're sure there will be years and years of great neighbor memories to be made, plus we've pre-arranged the marriage of Jonathan and Jemma. It's an auspicious time for them to move in; it was this exact date last year that we offically took possession of this house! Can't believe it's been an entire year . . . and still, we couldn't be happier to be right on this little piece of land, surrounded by great people.

I remember meeting Heidi last summer--what a nice girl. I'll be sure to swing by with the boys on our next walk and welcome her!
Very exciting...must be so strange to know a full year's gone by..and so fast, I'm sure.
We're coming up on our year mark soon, too!
Congrats on the new neighbors!
