Do you like your neighbors?

Sad news: our beloved neighbors, Kari and James, have moved!

Even Brewster is sad (picture of her as a pup, since she basically introduced Zac and I to Kari and James, and then our dogs became besties).

This is the best example of not knowing how good you've got it till it's gone, because Zac and I absolutely adore K & J. They got married the day before us, are dog lovers, and are all around genuinely good people. We're super happy for them to be moving on to better things, but they will be dearly missed from our little apartment complex.

Today I realized that this whole 'love thy neighbor thing' is pretty rare, no? At least it seems like it is in L.A. given that we're in a big city. Maybe this is another reason that L.A. isn't as bad as stereotypes make it out to be. We live in a super dog friendly neighborhood, and that makes it way easier to get to know people on our block. It's nice to see friendly faces and feel like we know our "community" even if we're just small fish in this huge city.

So how 'bout you? Do you like your neighbors? Do you even know your neighbors?? If not, is it on purpose? Do you have any crazy neighbors? I know those are out there too!
