The Neighbors

So whenever Rob gets out of work, we're off to head over to my friend's home to look at it. She lives in a 3 bdr 2.5 bath townhome style apartment with a garage. The floor plan for it online looks amazing. It's 500 more square feet than what we have now. We'd be able to have an office, a play room for Molly, and most importantly, a room for the litter box! Those are just some of the reasons that I want, no, need to move while Rob is gone. The biggest reason being that our neighbors, who we *lovingly* refer to as the "honeymoon suite" are terrible. The couple is constantly fighting with each other, and they've actually physically fought with each other. The kicker is that they have 2 small boys, I'm guessing around the ages of 3 and 18 months. Oh, and the mother yells at the boys all day as well. And not just yell at, but swear at. It's just so sad and depressing, and doesn't exactly make me feel safe living here. Oh, and they have parties with people over and they drink with their 3 yr old running around, and their friends take our parking spots. Granted, the husband will be deploying at the same time as Rob since he's in the same brigade as he is, but I can't stand listening to the woman yelling at her boys all day. And this is every day. All summer the only time the boys would be outside playing was if they were grilling dinner. The.only.time. I had my 3 month old outside more than she did, and Molly couldn't even play. So that's my long vent about them, so I'm sure you can now understand why I need to move. So we're hopeful that we like the place in person. The security deposit is the lowest I've ever seen, and the only reason I can think of that we didn't consider this place before was that the rent was out of our range at that time. Since Rob went up in rank, and pay increases with the new year, we'll be able to afford it. So aside from liking it, the only thing will be is if they have availability when we need it. Which could be difficult since 3rd Brigade got back from deployment last year, and may still be coming back. So wish us luck!
