Neighbors

Today after church, at about 5:30 pm, Chet and I were laying in our bed watching an episode of something on Netflix. We have conflicting opinions about what keeping the sabbath day holy means, so we have compromised. One of us thinks that the kids should be able to play outside, but just nothing motorized. One of us thinks that it should be a neighbor free day. The compromise: the neighbors can play at 5. At 5 o'clock the culdesac comes alive. Some days the kids are waiting on our doorstep for it to click 5. As we lay in bed watching, a neighbor (6 yr old boy) comes cruising into our room, into our bathroom. Chet and I just look at each other, like what the heck just happened? He closes the door, uses the restroom and comes cruising back out. We both say hi, he says hi back, and out he walks. I think that we were both in a little bit of shock, but we just laughed and kept watching. The lesson in Relief Society today was about unity. The teacher asked if we loved our neighbors like we love ourselves. I don't know about ALL my neighbors, but I do know that I love them, and their kids. As we feel that we should be moving at this time for some unknown reason, it makes me a little sad. I have always liked new adventures, but I sure do love my neighbors. They are like family. Sometimes they drive me crazy, but I sure cannot imagine life without them!!!
