Best Neighbors Ever

Guest post of the week by Brittany Booker:

I am so fortunate to have good neighbors. When I moved into my apartment about a year and a half ago, I figured that living here would be the same as living in my old apartment. I barely saw any of my neighbors. I actually had no idea who lived in any of the apartments around me. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a knock at the door one week after I moved in. It was my neighbor, Jim, Inviting me out to a neighborhood happy hour. Since I moved in he has helped with so many things. He helped me train my puppy, which was so nice. It was a really difficult job, and I needed the help. When I had trouble with my cable company, Jim suggested I go to directstartv.com and get satellite instead, which was great advice. I have also met a bunch of people in the neighborhood through him, which has made my social life so much better. It was definitely the right move to leave my old apartment. I finally found the social scene I am looking for at my new place.

New Girl

Post contributed by Leonard Phelps:

I have been watching that show called New Girl recently on our directv Palm Bay. I heard about the show before it aired and was really happy for it to come out. It has an actress that I really like. Her name is Zoey Deschanel. She was in the movie Elf, too. She can sing really well and is really cute and funny. She reminds me of one of my friends actually. She used to date a member of a band I like too, Death Cab for Cutie. They recently broke up, which is so sad to me! The show is still great though. She moves in with a group of guys and has to learn to get along with them. She is a little socially awkward, to be honest. That is what really makes the show. It seems like a lot of the recent comedies that are successful have an element of awkwardness in them. Sometimes it is hard to watch the shows because the moments are so uncomfortable. I still watch it though and it really makes me laugh a lot. I am glad that Zoey is having success after everything she must be going through.

Brother Getting Married

Thanks for the post from Nora Mccoy:

My brother is finally getting married. It has taken him a long time to find the right girl and to make such a huge commitment, but the day is almost here. He has been so calm and so relaxed regarding the whole thing. I have actually been pleasantly surprised. He recently purchased a new house for him and his bride-to-be. It was such a grown up decision and such a sweet gesture. I thought he would be living in an apartment until the day he died. Yesterday I was at his new place helping him with his Texas high speed satellite internet, when he told me the sweetest thing. We were sitting on the floor and out of the blue he says, “Thank you”. Caught by surprise, I ask him what I did. He goes on to tell me how much of a role model I have been and how much of an inspiration I am. I was crying by the end of the conversation. I guess sometimes you never realize how much you mean to a person, even when it’s your own brother.
