Meeting the neighbors

My apartment complex recently had a BBQ and pool party. Boyfriend and I have lived in this complex for almost a year now yet we've only met about a handful of our neighbors. You would think that living in such close proximity with other people would lead to more social interaction not less, but go figure!

The party included an appetizer contest with the chance to win a $75 Visa gift card! I was so amped when I found out about the contest that I immediately started to plan my appetizer. I decided to go with an always popular appetizer, double tomato bruschetta (adapted from Allrecipes).

It was the perfect day for a pool and BBQ party. The weather was gorgeous and people were feeling very sociable!

PS. That's my patio on the right in the picture above :)

I love this picture of all the kids in the apartment complex playing in the pool!

There were so many amazing looking and tasty appetizers! Some looked quite strange but was delicious nonetheless! 

Sadly, I did not win the appetizer contest, but that's ok because it was super fun making the bruschetta and meeting the neighbors! I can't wait for next year's BBQ and pool party! 

Do you know your neighbors???
