Jeff and I have always dreamed of buying a home in a resort community. We have lots of dreams. Like adding an addition on our house. We can't even choke up the money to repaint the front hall, but we're going to add an addition. Yea, right.
Anyway, our dream of living in a resort community is coming true! Apparently, we ALREADY live in a resort. Because I met our new neighbors yesterday...and this home is their vacation home!!! They live in Silicon Valley, are private contractors, and usually come back to visit family for about 2 months in the summer. They are sick of staying with family or in hotels, and so decided to buy a place. They actually looked at our house last summer, but weren't quite ready to commit.
Can you imagine? A $425,000 home that you'll just use 8 weeks a year???
The real bummer is how incredibly nice this woman is. She has 2 kids...who instantly clicked with Andrew. Such nice kids. We instantly clicked as well...started chatting easily, feeling very comfortable with each other. I have not found a neighbor like this yet, and have been feeling very down about our neighborhood. It looked so good when we moved in, but we are not in the "in" crowd, and are excluded from most things. Here is a wonderful family with kids just 2 doors down...and they'll be leaving August 21 until next summer.
Arghhhhh! I'll just have to enjoy their company (read: stalk) for as long as I can!

We don't even have neighborhood gatherings around here.......don't feel bad. If they are excluding you, then you probably aren't missing out on much, except high school bs.
