Oh my! So, last night about 10 pm Ryan goes to take some garbage out. I am downstairs on the computer, minding my own business, when he comes blasting back in the house and runs up the stairs. Of course my immediate thought is...No, don't wake Olivia! Then he comes flying downstairs, hollering...come with me! I go up to him and he's carrying the shotgun, looking frantically for a flashlight. He says,"somethings making a weird noise out there, that I have never heard before; come with me to check it out". Yes, like that is what I want to do at 10 at night!
So, of course, being the wonderful wife that I am, I follow him outside...he says stay right behind me....I was more like 20 feet behind. You should have heard that thing screeching! I thought it was a rabid, dying, pig. So, Ryan finds the eyes and shoots it...good thing I have a husband with good aim!
He heads over to the tree line to check it out, finds the creature (I'm still picturing a pig), and discovers it was a fox! That thing sounded horrible! So, I venture over to check it out too...I'm walking, walking, walking...WHAM. I fall in a hole up to my waist. Oops, Ryan says, forgot to tell you about that big hole. Yes, you sure did! Of course when I fall in, I'm picturing a fox hole or something with a creature in it, so I'm scrambling to get out! But no, just a hole that Ryan dug himself when he needed some dirt....just forgot to tell me about it!
Oh what a night!

LOL, good thing you didn't get hurt falling into the hole, or I would have had to have a heart to heart with Ry.
Love

ha ha!! That is a crazy night!! I am so amazed that you went out with him??? Are you NOT the same girl who puked up 3 green beans from who knows when (probably just storing them up for such an occasion) b/c you're what -- afraid of my house -- or a cat meowing who sounds like a child desperatly crying for help... hmmm... He must inspire great confidence in himself, and YOU!! :) And I can just picture the big finale with the hole... That's the best... Did you guys get a good laugh out of it?
This reminds me of something we would have done in high school on one of our crazy girls vs. boys night out kind of thing! Just laughing picturing you in the pitch black stuck in a hole!
That was Erin By the way! I need to set up an account so I don't have to be anonymous!
lol, oh E...I'm totally laughing with you...right? I'm just picturing the scramble to get out of the scary hole...love it.
I love reading your blogs.
