The beginning of the community has been great. We had an amazing pot luck where well over 70 people came to share our community with us, from friends and families from out to state, to neighbors and a local band, Agape Alive, we had a great showing with a positive and uplifting energy the entire night.
Then came Halloween and it was great having 7 people sitting on the front porch interacting with the neighborhood kids and giving them candy. Although some may claim this is a preposterous holiday, giving simple sugars to kids dressed as ghouls and goblins, we felt is a positive experience to share community. Unfortunately, there was not much community to go around as we had only 2 groups of teenagers and then 3 small families come by all night. (Pictures will be posted soon!) Although though there were few people, there was a lot of great energy!
And just when the house thought we could not have any more fun, just yesterday, November 1st, it was Ben's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN!!!) And what is better than a communal taco night shared amongst friends? - The answer: The dancing that followed the meal!!
Until next time!
