Today my old neighbors Traci and Jeremy were so sweet and had a BBQ get together since I was back in town. All of my old neighbors were there. We had food and fun, a big bonfire in the back yard. It was like old times when I used to live there. I guess you know who your true friends are when you can just pick up right where you left off. I feel like I have been away for so long, but they make it feel like it was yesterday and welcome you right back. That is one of the things that makes Utah so special to me. When I lived here, my neighborhood and family were my life. I spent my extra time with them and we were all so close and such good friends. I have great friends in New Jersey too, but it is somehow different. The friends in Utah are families who always kind of invited me in to a glimpse of their lives. My friends in Jersey are different because they are mostly single and it is not a glimpse into the life, it is more like participation together. Hard to explain if that means anything. I don’t think one is better than the other but I do feel lucky to have had both.
