I recently went to my boyfriend’s house to meet his parents who were hosting a neighborhood gathering at their house. His parents were great as I had expected but what I didn’t expect was to love his entire neighborhood. I never really knew what I had been missing out on, being a girl from the middle of nowhere with my closest neighbors a quarter-mile away. I noticed how much these people liked each other and I was simply amazed. Who would have known that Four Lakes in Blanchard, Okla. could have such a cool atmosphere? I mean this place is straight from an ABC sitcom. The people in the neighborhood are so loving; I immediately felt like part of the group. I later found out that they have these parties all the time--so adorable. I never had anything like that growing up. I had a few friends that lived down the street when I was younger and lived in town but it was nothing like what Four Lakes is like. This community is something that I had only dreamed about. Even the people there know how special this place is. One of the families that had lived there before came back to visit and they hope to move back again (I told you this neighborhood was cool). Their visit was why the whole party was initiated. The stories that the people who live here have with each other are hilarious. They may have had their rough patches, but they all eventually come back together as a family. Needless to say, my visit to Four Lakes made me see what I have been missing out on my whole life.
