I had this same problem on Thursday night when a house behind my building decided to throw a party and let it last until 5 am. I know for a fact that it was very close, because I could see the people dancing inside, but when I woke up at 4:45 am to the loud start of yet another song, I wished for a moment that my source for ventilation was an air conditioner and not an open window.
In related news, this morning was the first morning since living in my apartment that I have not woken up with the sunrise at 5:15! This was my eventual goal when I decided to train my body to sleep with open windows and open curtains. Since I don't have AC, or even a fan (which is my fault,) I have to leave the windows open all night to keep me from dying of heat exhaustion. However, due to the early sunrise, my window is equipped with very nice blackout curtains. But, if I pull the curtains all the way across the window, that defeats the purpose of leaving them open for ventilation, and if I choose open window over blackout curtains, that defeats the purpose of having blackout curtains. So, I compromise. I open my window halfway and pull the curtain over the half that is still closed. I'm pretty sure it does absolutely nothing for keeping the sunshine out, but hey, I don't mind waking up to sunshine. I'll take that over an alarm any day!
A few pictures from the weekend, which I'll tell you about later this week:

Kris, the time has really flown by way too fast since I last read your blog. I have had two babies, both now in great homes, and working fervishly for World Mission Workshop (yes, your dad is a slave driver! ha!). So needless to say, I have not kept up with my portion of winning the battle of more Oklahoma posts. Will try to do better!
You are thought of so often. I am proud of you and look forward to being a part of your mission effort in prayer.
Have a wonderful and marvelous day! Oh, and I would love to see that beach you showed in this blog!
Deborah
