Neighbors....

Ugh! It really hit me just now, at this exact moment that my fantastic neighbors will no longer be my neighbors as of Saturday.

When I first moved into my house, I was weary about neighbors all around because our houses pretty much sit on top of one another.

I remember moving into my house and seeing the neighbors on the right having a little girls birthday party. My mom and I watched them forever. All of them dressed up, running around just being little girls.

At that moment, I had no idea that my life would become so involved with them!

They have 2 little girls.....Hannah who just turned 7 and Olivia who is going to be 3 in the fall. These two have stolen my heart over the past few years and I couldn't ask for a better family to share time with.

When Olivia was born, the family decided to baptise her.....my neighbor says...."hey what are you doing on such and such of a date".....I said..."nothing, do you need me to babysit". Which of course made the mother laugh because I usually did babysit, she said "no we want to know if you will be the god mother to Olivia". WHAT???!!!! OMG hell ya I will!!

This was the best thing that someone had ever asked me! I have been asked to be in weddings which is cool, but that is just one special day.....this is being a close part of a child's life for the rest of their life. (sigh......)

Both of us are moving, my neighbors and myself included.

We won't be in each others yards anymore

I won't be able to watch the girls out the widow playing in the yards

I won't be able to hear their giggles as they play

I won't be able to just hop on over for dinner or to help watch the girls

I won't be able to literally watch them grow in real time without so much time passing

There are so many things I won't be able to do......

BUT

I will still be able to see them since we will be about 15 min away

I will still be able to celebrate birthdays and holidays and special moments when I can

I will still be able to be there for the family if they need me, just need more than a 5 min notice lol

This is how life goes......adjusting and mofiying things so you CAN make things doable...we want more I will still be able.....not won't be able :) FInd the silver lining in everything you do. It may not always be perfect but it is always better than nothing!

I'm gonna miss ya Bubs
