Caring Neighbors, who knew?


Last night was a bit freaky. My boy friend stayed over late last night after a friends birthday party. He had my apartment keys so he could get in and not wake me up. Soo He got home around 12:30ish was super quite I only heard him open my bedroom door which is saying alot because usually you can hear the front door open and close. Soo I was happy to see him and we got in bed. Around 1:15 am the door bell rang. My initial instinct is that it is a couple of doorbell ditchers and I will just let it be because really who knocks at 1am!? But then I saw lights flashing under my bedroom door and I was scared that someone came in. I didn't hear doors open or anything but the lights were bright and intermittent. So my boy friend and I walk out of my bed room and hear, "Salt Lake Police Department" Instantly I was ?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!? freaked out. They were in the door way staring into my apartment. So I walked over and was like, can I help you with something and they told me that our door was wide open with the lights off for the last hour or so and that the neighbors called the cops to come check it out. So here I was standing in my pj's totally bewildered with a flashlight shinning on my face. Having all these thoughts running through my head about what could have been taken from my place and who walked by when the door was open. I told the police men that the door can pop open some times if it isn't pulled shut properly. I looked at my boy friend and asked him if he closed it all the way when he got home. He didn't know that the door kind of pops out of the latch when you close it. He said he thought he closed it but instantly I knew he didn't double check it. Soo everything was fine. The police men didn't harass us to find out if we really lived in my apartment. Which I am very grateful for. My boy friend felt bad. He was glad nothing happened but was worried about if it could have.


So I am very thankful we have wonderful neighbors, although I am not sure which ones, that called to make sure everything was ok.


The kicker, all the while this is happening, my roommate slept. Didn't hear the door bell, didn't get out of bed. Nothing. Some times being a light sleeper is a blessing and a curse.
