Do you feel like you have good neighbors in Colorado? Great neighbors are hard to come by these days. Here is a question. Are you a great neighbor?

For the majority of my adult life, I have mostly kept to myself. However, things have been different since I moved into the home that I currently reside in.

I have a great relationship with my other neighbor. My girlfriend and I have them over at our house; we hang out in our backyards, our dogs play together, and we watch each other's homes when we are away.

They are definitely friends that I trust.
