So Sunday night after small group I went home prepared to enjoy my last night (so I thought then) to myself before Blake got back from his trip. I was into a good book and stayed up late reading it
('The Valley of the Horses' by Jean Auel. I rate this book a 2.5 out of 5 because the author got way into explaining how the neanderthals make their tools and I'd rather hear about the horses). I was tucked into bed in my jammies with my lamp on. All of a sudden at 11:30pm my doorbell rings. Twice. Tell me, does your blood pressure skyrocket in those situations? I jump out of bed and reach for my cell phone. I dial "911" and hover next to my bed waiting for any other sound to prompt me to hit "dial!" I skirt around the lit living room and looked out of Blake's office windows in time to see a big black suburban pulling away from being parked outside my house. How freaky!! I was thanking God that I'd set the house alarm before I went to bed so it would sound if the door was opened.
So, heart pounding I kept looking out the windows making sure no one else was there. Then I went and got the biggest kitchen knife I could find and went back to bed. I don't know how I went back to sleep but I did. I guess nothing really happened but man I was scared!
Oh man my heart would be racing too!! Thank God you did set the alarm and that you put 911 in your phone and you did what I would have done; grabbed the biggest kitchen knife or one of Davin's swords..I don't think I would have went back to sleep..or sleep with one eye open LOL!
ReplyDeleteoooo yeah that is totally freaky...I have def. had a few times like that when Cody is gone...in fact one time I knew that I wouldnt be able to fall back asleep and even if I did I wouldn't have slept well so I just up and drove over the summers and slept there :) If you ever need a place to sleep our doors are always open. I am so glad you are ok!
