1am Wake Up Call

The other night I was abruptly woken up by my security alarm going off. It was definitely not a good sound to wake up to. I was freaked out for a minute, but then I got up the guts (with Scout by my side) to check things out. Because as scary as that is to wake up to, it is also blaringly loud and obnoxious. Apparently I wasn't quite awake enough to think to grab Nick's handgun out of the bedside table (and, of course, didn't think about it until afterwards).

But thankfully, I didn't need it! Apparently, I didn't fully shut the door from the house to the garage earlier that evening. I thought it was funny that it took like 4 hours to creak back open & set off the alarm though. Good times. Needless to say, I didn't sleep quite as well the rest of the night. It wouldn't be a deployment without a little excitement, I guess. Even at the end.
