New Neighbors

We moved our stuff over to our new place on Saturday! Now where to put it....haha. We have briefly met our new neighbors. We have a nice German lady and her son on one side. I'm not exactly sure who lives at the house on the other side but we met a couple people that were there on Saturday. They were even nice enough to offer to help unload our stuff but we just had a few things left so I told them thanks but no thanks. They even invited me over to have a beer...and partake of their keg in the back. Again, thanks but no thanks. I was a little worried about it being a party house but gave it little thought because we were so busy unloading and unpacking. Later that night, we were getting ready for bed and noticed they were still in the backyard partying away. Our bedroom window happens to be right next to their backyard. Well...a few hours later...4:45am...I noticed it was finally quiet and fell asleep. Of course, Ronnie slept through the whole thing. When we were leaving for church the next day, a lady across the street yelled out "Sorry about last night". She said her son was leaving for Afghanistan in a couple weeks and they were throwing him a "good-bye" party and that they are usually quiet. Well, thank goodness because I don't think I'd be a very happy neighbor if I was up that late every night! So that was our first night in our new place. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Anyone have any crazy neighbor stories?

funny stuff. now it will be fun to see if they are what they say they are.

the day after we closed on our condo, i was walking from the car with some boxes and one of my neighbours was on his deck. As i passed him, he said in a really creepy voice "hey beautiful"...great, just what i needed. a 40 year old creepo sharing my wall. the joys of ownership!

no crazy stories here but our neighbors in the summer do like to party. We just call the cops when it gets after 11:00 because we have kids and they are usually quiet when the cops come!! But glad you have your own house now!! That is so exciting! So congrats on the new home!!

I always have a hard time sleeping in a new place with new sounds. Glad you're getting settled though. Don't get me started on crazy stories! Ok maybe I will. :) We live in a condo=shared walls. Our neighbors have hammered on our common wall at 12am or later. They also have a diesel truck which comes and goes at all hours of the night. Someday we'll also have a house of our own. Sigh.

Apartment living was always fun...in one place we moved to (specifically because it was a nice/newer complex), we had neighbors that ALL smoked to the point where it would seep through our walls, making the entire apartment smell like an ashtray. And then the neighbors below us would weekly have music and bass blaring into the wee hours of the morning all while smoking weed(though they had small children). Fun stuff!
