As for me, I like living in my neighborhood where we have neighborhood parties, but not too often and never very extravagant. I'm not saying yours doesn't sound fun...because it does. But I'm enough of an anti-socialite that I might get a little overwhelmed at a party like that. Especially if I was in charge of it!Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914081924660422629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-7133265422588190462008-09-15T21:37:00.000-06:002008-09-15T21:37:00.000-06:00I'm so incredibly happy to hear that the party wen...I'm so incredibly happy to hear that the party went well! You're awesome. And what a great neighborhood. As for me, I don't really need a reason to move to your neighborhood more than the fact that YOU would be there!Mother of the Wild Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09247511282238437472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-49995553211547649982008-09-15T20:56:00.000-06:002008-09-15T20:56:00.000-06:00Congratulations on not only having your big event ...Congratulations on not only having your big event finished, but having such an amazing event!

However, my ward IS like this and we are so grateful to be a part of it. We had a fabulous time this past weekend camping with really wonderful people. I would like to live in YOUR neighborhood even though I have said many a time that I don't know if I want to live in Utah again (and I am FROM SLC and both families are still there). Sound like a blast---way to go on making it happen!!Cardallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892829000971779922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-59484794358827406762008-09-15T11:12:00.000-06:002008-09-15T11:12:00.000-06:00That does sound awesome!I'm glad all your hard wor...That does sound awesome!I'm glad all your hard work paid off and that everyone had so much fun.<BR/><BR/>Our ward is fantastic. We lived in this ward until I was 7, moved away and then we moved into my grandmother's house, in the same ward. Lots of people remind me that they knew me best when I was my boys ages.TaLaisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240900940439634390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-12598788370344483112008-09-15T11:08:00.000-06:002008-09-15T11:08:00.000-06:00Cristy-You should have come!

I would have loved to have lived in Boston; I still would love to live in Boston. The only thing is that I feel conflicted; I adore this place and these people, but I want to live everywhere and see everything and travel the entire world over. Does that make sense? To want to stay put and leave all at the same time? It's hard to describe...<BR/><BR/>Susan-<BR/>Actually, I think you'd be surprised at how well you WOULD fit in here. Despite our location, we have an amazing sense of diversity. Not necessarily according to race, but to personalities. I have a feeling you would fit in quite nicely, and people would welcome you with open arms. And they would never make you feel bad for missing ward activities or going to doom metal concerts. Although, now that I think about it, there aren't many doom metal concerts around here, so maybe THAT could be the disaster you refer to. Not enough venues for metal enthusiasts such as yourself. Hmm. <BR/>I would love to have you around, though. :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218614720786379961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-34174239449110096322008-09-15T10:20:00.000-06:002008-09-15T10:20:00.000-06:00I think Utah would be a disaster for us.

Not many Mormons there, though, and it was great.<BR/><BR/>I live in Orange County now and we so totally don't fit into our ward. It's hard to look around and feel so out of place, sometimes.Susan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624318041766798230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-55272043104276161352008-09-15T09:21:00.000-06:002008-09-15T09:21:00.000-06:00I would love to live in your neighborhood!

Instead, I live in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of big beautiful trees and kind, caring neighbors none of whom are LDS ... or interested in becoming LDS. But, it is a wonderful chance to prepare my 3 boys to be missionaries, because every day we are missionaries here. It is hard, and we certainly miss out on the AWESOME events like you described (although our ward and Stake are great, and when we get together we know how to have a good time - it just isn't that frequent because we are seperated by hours) but we know that this is where we are supposed to be right now - may be someday we will be supposed to be right next door to you! It sounds like that would be pretty great (I'm especially jealous of the great babysitters - that's a rarity out here!)<BR/>Aren't you glad now that you didn't move out here to Boston!!<BR/>RachelRachel and Nathan Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14602418963526133376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-10889460343271795462008-09-15T09:05:00.000-06:002008-09-15T09:05:00.000-06:00Yay!
