I think we officially have new neighbors.

The house next door to use, the one that was rented out to two very bad renters over the last year was sold about a month and a half ago. We’d heard from one of our other neighbors that talked to the home owners son that the new people would be moving in at the end of May … well the end of May came and went and we didn’t see any sign of the new neighbors, but we just noticed a light on in the house next door so I think they came for a visit.

The realtor lock box is off the front door now too, so I guess it’s official.

We’re just hoping that the new neighbors are nice people. We’ve been through hell with awful neighbors lately. We pretty much lived in fear with our doors and windows locked all the time with the last ones so I think we deserve to have some nice neighbors now.

I don’t care if the new neighbors aren’t really friendly. All I ask is that we don’t have any problems with our shared driveway and that they aren’t noisy or do anything illegal or potentially dangerous while they are living next to us. Yeah, my standards got a lot lower after the last renter neighbors.

We don’t know anything about the new neighbors. In fact they seem to have left the house now so we didn’t even see them. I’ve heard that they are an Asian couple which fits with the guy that I saw a few days before the sold sign went up. I think they got a three hour home inspection done before putting in a bid.

Anyway like I said, I don’t really care who our new neighbors are as long as they’re nice enough and easy enough to get along with. They could be muscle building protein powder drinking health nuts or geeks for all I care, just as long as we don’t have any problems with them.

I just hope that they didn’t buy the house next door only to rent it out again. That’s really our worst fear. Wish us luck!
