I was awakened this morning at 4:14 to the sound of gunshots...I thought. I sat up and tried to figure out if I was dreaming or if it was real. I realized that Craig was not in bed; he had gone running. Then next thing I knew, my door opened and Tara was standing there asking if I had heard the noise. We sat there for a minute staring at each other, then I decided to call 911. After reporting what we had heard, I started worrying about Craig. The funny thing is, I don't worry much about him when he's at work. I know he's careful and always on guard. But my mind started picturing him all alone, running, with no protection...and I panicked. Tara tried to call him on his cell phone, but it started buzzing on the bathroom counter, so I knew he didn't have it with him. I finally sent Tara back to bed and I sat on the edge of the bed for the next 45 minutes hoping and praying that Craig would come home. When the front door opened at about 5:00, I burst into tears and thanked my Heavenly Father for bringing him home safely. Craig was sorry he worried me, but he had to laugh as he told me that he was running right by the
TRUCK that had
BACKFIRED! It scared him so bad that he ran into a light pole and tripped. We were both relieved that it was just a truck, but I told him he better take his phone from now on! I learned from this experience that I need to trust in the Holy Ghost more. The whole time, I didn't get the feeling that things were really bad, but I let my imagination get the best of me. Funny how we are taught the lessons we need to learn.

I do that all the time, I tend to think of the worst possible situation. I had to laugh though, I love your guys sense of humor! I can just picture Craig running into a light pole! :) I am glad that he is okay and YES he needs to take his phone with him. Wade has been given that lecture quite a few times! I panic when I can't get a hold of him!!! So it is snowing today...maybe we should hop on a plane and come visit our family in warmer weather!? :)
Don't you just love when you absolutely have to get ahold of your spouse, so you call their cell, and then you hear it ringing because they left it home? This happens to me too. I wonder, "Why are we even paying for this thing!" It seems like the only time you need them to have the phone is the one time they don't take it.
I am glad that it was just a truck! Thank goodness your hubby got home safe!
I am so sorry for you being scared. I HATE IT WHEN MIKE DOESN'T HAVE HIS PHONE! I don't know how anyone ever could stand it without one. I'm glad everything worked out ok for you guys. Your story made me a little scared.
the other day a car i was driving behind backfired and i screamed at the top of my lungs! it does sound like a gunshot!!! i wish i could've been there to see uncle craig run into the lightpole!
I can't even tell you how many times I have let my imagination get the best of me when I can't reach Garrett on his cell. I think it's just in our nature as mothers and wives or something. I'm glad it wasn't gunshots though.
Wow Mac and I were laughing so hard we were almost crying picturing Bishop running into a light pole. I am so glad everyone was safe.
