One of my Favorites

Will & I have had a lot of funny adventures over the years, but this one is definitely my favorite...

About a year after we got married, we moved to Madison into an apartment. It was a really nice upstairs apartment with its own separate stairway. Our bedroom was the one in the front (bigger closet ha ha) with our window opposite the porch leading to the front door. We had been living there about 2 months when one night Will heard someone breaking in.

It was about 3am in the morning when Will leaped out of bed and into the window. You wouldn't have believed it unless you saw it. With one jump, he was out of the bed and tearing into the blinds banging on the window. Sure enough, a strange man ran from our door back down the stairs. If you want to know how I responded when Will yelled someone is breaking in, I started screaming. Just sitting on the bed screaming my guts out! Of course we saw the intruder run away, so the danger was over but it took several hours to calm down enough to go back to bed. We debated calling the police but since he didn't get in and it could possibly been someone mistaking our apartment for someone else's, we decided against it.

After a few more hours of sleep, I couldn't wait to call my family and tell them about our crazy night. Will and I got ready for work and was leaving when Will opened the door. He started talking to himself and then I saw something hanging from our front door? Will remembered in that moment that he had ordered the Huntsville Times and apparently it started this morning! That's right our intruder was just the newspaper delivery guy! Huntsville Times guarantees delivery by 5am!!

Can you imagine the poor guy probably half asleep out delivering papers when this crazed lunatic jumps out at him screaming and tearing out the blinds!!! I wonder how long he sat in his car trying to get his heart rate back down. I believe if we had owned a gun Will could have possibly shot and killed him and then the prosecution would have called it premeditated b/c Will ordered the paper and then killed the delivery man. ha ha I considered making him cookies and leaving them outside with a little note saying Sorry we scared you but you scared us!! But from that next day on, our paper was thrown up the stairs. We could hear it thump, thump, thump onto our doorstep. ha ha Do you Blame Him? I wouldn't set foot on that doorstep again!!

This is only one of our funny tales! There is another one about us thinking someone was breaking in but I don't think Will won't let me blog it. Maybe? We'll see! Have a great day!
