The other night Jayson and I got the scare of a lifetime and I mean a scare of a lifetime. We went to bed about 9:30pm. At approximately 10:20pm our security alarm went off. I haven't heard a noise like that in a really long time, especially joined with red flashing lights. Within seconds Jayson and I were out of bed. I had no clue what to do, so I waited for Jayson and Magnum before I went down the hallway to go and get Gwen. Jayson got out of bed, grabbed the gun from the closet, and was off downstairs in his underwear with Magnum close behind him. I went into Gwen's room until Jayson said it was okay to come out. After checking all the windows and doors Jayson came back to bed. Both of us we shaking within. I think we both slept with one eye open the entire night. Every little noise would wake us up.
After the fact we've been having a good laugh about it. Now you may be wondering why we've been laughing? As we reflected back on the event Jayson was pretty hysterical. When the alarm went off he threw the sheets off the bed while saying a few words I won't repeat. As he got to the side of the bed I looked over towards him and noticed him in a football stance yelling at the top of his lungs some other words I won't repeat. He then proceeded to get his gun from the closet. While Jayson was doing all of this, I was standing there looking like a fool. I had now clue what to do. I completely forgot to take my cell phone and the land line with me when I went to go and get Gwen.
Even though this was the biggest scare of our lives it was a blessing in disguise. Jayson and I sat in bed after the whole event and talk about exactly what it was that each of us were suppose to do and what we are going to do when the alarm goes off again.
We have no clue as to why the alarm went off. If it was someone, the alarm must have scared the crud out of them that they ran off, but we think it was the wind that blew the french door in just enough to set the alarm off. Hmmm... can I say I hate the desert, not fond of Las Vegas, and truly hate the wind that comes with living here!!! Thank goodness Jayson was home and not deployed. I don't know what I would've done by myself. I think scream, cry, and pee my pants!
