You're listening to the Girl Next Door Podcast. I'm Kelsey and I'm Erica. We're two former

next door neighbors and good friends who love a good chat and a good laugh. We're inviting you to

come on in, have a drink, and stay a while. Hey friend. Hey friend. Today we are greeting 2023 with open

arms and sharing our intentions and hopes for the new

year. And this is our first time recording together in the new year. So cheers to that friend.

We kind of forgot how to do it for a minute. Yes, I think we've got, I think we've got it all.

All right. Before we get into talking about intentions, what's been happening around your neighborhood

Oh, I love that.

Okay.

So mostly thanks to some friends that live on the corner. They have a bunch of kiddos,

and the one is like the mayor of our neighborhood. Like when they moved in, she was like,

moving. No. I i know the mayor is leaving

and so i feel sad about that because i feel like after covid and everything we were finally in a good

groove where they could take off to the park with all their little friends and now shoot i'm so sorry

they have met some other kids through them in the neighborhood and you know we'll do stuff with them too

so it'll be good still but
