Companions. Neighbors. Friends.

I love seeing old friends. I laugh. "Old" being 6 months ago we were neighbors... now we don't live in the same state anymore. haha Erika, Jason & Ethan Allred were our neighbors in the duplex we were living in just before this. I don't think I've ever shared that story... 

I went and knocked on the door to talk to our soon-to-be neighbors about moving in and such. Derek was in the parked car with Jocelyn in front of the house. I ran to the door. Jason answered and we talked for 10 seconds before Derek burst out of the car, yelling from the street, 

"ELDER ALLRED?!?"

 Yup. Low and behold Derek & Jason were MTC companions and served in the same mission. How CRAZY is that?

So while we were neighbors we spent a lot of Sunday nights playing games! It was great! 

The baby monitors could reach since it was a duplex. GAME ON.

 So the Allred's have one more semester at University of Idaho! And they were in town and we had a nice lunch followed, of course, by a game. So good to see you guys! LOVE YA!
