That was interesting....

It seems like the night before Preston has school something weird happens. Last semester the night before every one of Preston's finals were the nights Graham decided it was a good idea not to sleep. Last night was no different except add in the fact that I wasn't able to sleep despite the fact that I was super tired. 

Fast forward a couple hours and I hear this loud bang noise. I have no idea where it's coming from but it's loud enough and close enough for me to wake up Preston. He goes and checks the house out and looks outside and can't find anything. So we all try and go to sleep again but Graham and I still can't sleep so I get up and we go in Graham's room so we don't disturb Preston. While I am in Graham's room I see a bright flash light coming through his window and hear some talking... I get up and go get Preston again (poor guy has to get up in 3 hours). As I'm getting Preston there is a knock at the door so he quickly goes to answer it and it is a policeman. He asks us if we heard a shotgun go off a little bit ago. I tell him I heard something really loud but wasn't sure what it was. Anyways... Apparently our neighbors were intoxicated and let off their shotgun and it went in to the side of our house... Right where Graham's room is. Wow that makes me feel super comfortable and safe. What if it went through somehow? He doesn't sleep in there right now thankfully. But now I don't no if he ever will.

Our house. 

Well that is my rant for the day. 

Preston: I hope you have a really great first day of school! We can't wait to see you when you get home :)

UPDATE: Preston and my dad went to talk to them and they felt really bad. Don't think we will have anymore problems

Omg! That is so scary! Are the neighbors paying for the damage and being reprimanded?! I hope they know they shot through a baby's bedroom! - Andrea

Hopefully they will pay for it. Preston and my dad are going to talk to them when he gets home from school but a police report was made and they are investigating they say. Nothing like not feeling safe in your own home :/
