Our Neighbors

It's pretty sad we have lived in our apartment for 9 months and are just getting to know our neighbors. There are two girls who live above us. They seem like sweet girls, but they are obviously college students. It wasn't until two months ago they started playing Rock Band at 2 in the morning that we finally got to meet them. Mike had to ask them not to please not play past 11. What an old man! They were cool with it, and actually invited us to come play with them anytime we wanted. But Mike doesn't want to go public with his amazing voice yet (ha ha).

This afternoon we were just relaxing after spending the day at the beach with some friends. I was pretty tired and had no idea what to make for dinner and I need to go grocery shopping. SO Frustrating!!! Anyway, we had a knock on the door. Turns out it was our neighbor two stories up. He was wondering if we had any plans for the evening and if we were interested in joining them for dinner.
YES!!! I got out of making dinner tonight, very exciting. Mike had met Josh a couple of times before, just in passing, and once at the school. But I had never met him or his wife Meghan before. We always talked about how we need to meet them, bring them cookies or something, but just continued to procrastinate (so unlike us).

So, we made the trek up 3 flights of stairs to their place. It was such an amazing time of fellowship. They had just met Jesus about a year ago and are very excited about him. They had an awesome testimony they shared with us, and an obvious passion for God. It was so good to be reminded how exciting our relationship with God is. Especially for people who are in the beginning of it. But it should be like that all the time. It is easy to get so lazy and comfortable in our relationship with him. It makes me sad that I've been like that before and that there are so many in the church that are way too comfortable and not living in the excitement everyday in hearing God's voice.

Anyways, they haven't been enjoying the church they've been attending, so they are joining us tomorrow. They said that they have been meaning to meet us for a while as well and that today he was praying about it, and felt like they should have us over. It is great because I have recently been bummed out that most of the friends we've made here are moving come June. Then there is another couple who is always too busy to hang out, and it makes me sad.
Today made me much more excited about being in Corvallis over the summer and next fall.
YAY!!!!
