Let’s stay on schedule though and cover breakfast first. 😀
After BodyPump this morning, I made myself a yogurt bowl that included a mini box of Cheerios (oh oh oh!) that I snagged from the cruise and a sliced Gala apple.
Yogurt Bowl
On my next trip to the grocery store, I may purchase one of those variety packs of children’s cereals. The small box was the perfect size for mixing into my yogurt and the cereal added texture and volume to my breakfast.
Cheeriosss!
Delicious and nutritious… just the way I like it.
Now onto story time!
How to Freak Out Your Wife
Ryan is typically a pretty good person to share a bed with at night. He doesn’t snore, rarely talks in his sleep and doesn’t hog the covers.
Prior to last night, the oddest thing he had done in his sleep was tap me on the shoulder and say, “Baby! They painted Fagan (our last name) on the greens.” I got a pretty big kick out of that one. 😀
The events from last night, however, did not amuse me quite as much. Truth be told, they had me in a panic.
Let me take you though the crazy scene that occurred in our apartment around midnight.
About an hour after we fell asleep last night, Ryan threw off his covers and stood straight up, turning on the light and looking at me frantically.
“What’s wrong? What’s going on?” I asked him, alarmed.
“There’s someone in our house.”
“What!? Oh my God.”
“Seriously. There’s someone in our house.” His voice was serious and intense.
I immediately went into action, running for the door of our bedroom to lock us inside.
I looked over at Ryan who was calmly putting on his watch. Odd, I thought. He then grabbed his phone, which I assumed meant he was going to call the police.
He stood there, looking at his phone, prompting me to desperately say, “What are you doing? Call the police!”
He then put his phone down and crept over to the door. He opened it and we all walked out, straining to hear any noise from downstairs.
“Wait. I don’t know what’s going on. Maybe I’m wrong,” Ryan said.
With that, Sadie ran downstairs and I threw up a prayer asking God to protect her if there was really a murderer in our living room.
All of this happened in less than two minutes, and Ryan’s last statement seemed way too calm to me. My heart was still racing a mile a minute, but when Ryan started to walk downstairs, I began to think something was up.
“No one’s down here. I’m sorry. I don’t know what’s going on,” he called from downstairs.
Sadie ran back upstairs and Ryan followed shortly after.
“Were you dreaming?” I asked him.
“Maybe. I think so. I don’t know.” He was clearly still out of it and a little disoriented.
I was sweaty, my heart was racing and adrenaline was rushing through my body.
We climbed back into bed.
After asking Ryan a million questions and receiving confused answers, I eventually concluded that he was dreaming. Eventually he started to get with the program and began laughing and apologizing. I started to see the humor in the situation about 30 minutes later when I was no longer completely freaked out.
Ryan was then ready to go back to sleep while I was ready to make a seriously detailed game plan just in case an intruder ever does come into our home.
Plan of Action

This did not sound like something Ryan wanted to do in the middle of the night, so after listening to my “rough draft” action plan, he rolled over, leaving me lying wide awake in bed for the next three hours.
Just in case you were wondering, it’s impossible to get back to sleep after you think you were about to be killed.
It looks like our third week of marriage is shaping up to be an adventurous one! 😀
Crazy Husband and Psycho Wife

Oh my goodness! Sometimes dreams seem so real!
What?! That is the craziest story! You were definitely right to freak out.
i’m surprised i didn’t just pass out!
Oh my gosh, I would have wet the bed haha! I can definitely relate to having dreams that make me wake up and think they were real, though.
Glad ya’ll are safe 😀
i may have peed a little. 😉
hahaa Julie…
I was laughing so hard while reading this!
My fiancee does something along those lines every once in awhile although he’s never as specific as there’s someone in the house, he’ll just randomly jump out of bed and turn the lights on in a panic. It freaks me out but I’ve learned to calm him down and then go back to sleep.
Haha what a crazy middle-of-the-night event! I don’t think I would have been able to sleep after that either. Hopefully Ryan doesn’t have any more scary dreams 🙂
I literally LOL’d when I read the part about putting on his watch! Too funny–though definitely not humorous at all at the time, obviously. My hubby does the craziest stuff in his sleep, but only every once in a while, so I can never just assume he’s sleep walking/talking.
haha that really was the strangest part! i did give him the watch as a wedding-day present, so i just figured he was being sentimental, but what a WEIRD thing to do when there are murderers in the house!
That’s crazy! I love how he was putting on his watch in a time of emergency.
I have thought there were people in my house before when Joe was away, so now he has me sleep with a bat next to the bed when he isn’t home. LOL.
I had to jump in here and add that my bf does this ALL THE TIME! He suffers from night terrors/dream logic, and about once every two weeks he wakes up in a panic thinking someone is trying to climb in through the window/something is in our apartment! Once he even grabbed me and pulled me down to the floor next to our bed to protect me! We looked into it and it’s a more common and normal thing than you may think. We have sort of solved the problem by using a code word–I’ll say our code to him when he’s in his freak-out state, and that’s how he knows it’s just a dream.
I feel for you! I did not know what to do the first time this happened to me.
PS Love your blog! 🙂
so scary, right!? i’m glad you guys learned how to cope with it. i’m just hoping it doesn’t happen again!
I literally just got chills after reading that. That’s insane. Does Ryan sleep walk? I would probably have done the exact same thing, only difference I would have kicked the poop out of him for scaring the day lights out of me haha. I’m glad no one was in your apartment and you, Ryan, and Sadie are all SAFE!! Phew! and great evacuation plan!! I must admit, I’m about to do the same thing God forbid something like that happens with me and Greg!!
Hahaha…Oh no!
Something simiilar happened to us last week but it was after we saw Paranormal Activity 2 so I was really freaked! The door slammed shut out of nowhere and woke us both up and I was freaking out and the hubby was all calm. Eeeep.
hahahhaha omg that’s hilarious (since it didn’t happen to me!)! i have some funny hubby moments from him talking in his sleep 🙂
Wow, yikes! A couple times I’ve woken up and thought I was late for work and didn’t hear my alarm. I jumped in the shower and started getting ready for work, only to notice later that it was actually still the middle of the night! Your story is way more freaky though! Hope you have more well rested nights and that it doesn’t become a habit for him!
Scary!!! But there have been times when I dream so vividly and when I wake up I believe it really happened!
The thought of someone coming into my house scares me so much! I’m glad everything was ok.
Wow! That’s crazy!!! I would be terrified!
By the way… pretty sure I saw that Cheerios are a buy one get one at Publix last night!
Omg Julie that is terrifying!! Seriously, I was creeped out just reading your recount. A few weeks ago, I got a call on my boss’s cell phone at 1am. I thought it must have been a mistake so I ignored it. But then it rang again and when I picked up, someone who was not my boss answered and said, “I’m downstairs.” I was like, WTF!!!! I was SO freaked out, I called my boyfriend and talked to him until I calmed down. The next day I learned that my boss had left his phone in a cab and the driver was calling the most recent number called, trying to get in touch with the phone’s owner.
So, long story short, I know what it’s like to be freaked out in the middle of the night. Not fun.
Hope you were able to get a little rest.
this story just gave me chills. i would have been seriously terrified!
Oh, my! That is so scary! My boyfriend talks in his sleep and it scares me all the time! He will be sleeping and all of a sudden he will sit up, turn to me and start rambling on but I can never cleary make out what he says and then he goes right back to sleep! It’s so strange! Haha.
That is hysterical!!! What a crazy night!
O.M.G. I would not have been able to fall back asleep either. Crazy boy! One time my younger brother went throughout our whole house claiming there was a fire…. in his sleep.
Nice game plan!
That is so crazy, I would have been terrified! When my daughter was about 5 years old she started to sleepwalk. I never really thought too much about it, I would just turn her around and put her back to bed. One night I woke up and heard her crying, I ran to her bedroom and found her lying on the floor. She had been dreaming she was a bird and jumped off her bed to try and fly. When she fell, she broke her collarbone :(. That is a night I will never forget!
Oh no! I would have freaked out! If I’m home by myself sometimes I get scared and search the whole house before I go to sleep. Not so bad now that I’m used to being in our house.
Wow, scary! I think the scariest bit is when you said Sadie ran downstairs! I would have totally freaked out just like you did in case my dog got hurt!
Haha I used to sleepwalk, and that always freaked people out! 😛 And that’s a great game plan! 😀
OMG that is a RIOT!! I would totally be sweating, ready to throw up, you name it, that would be me. I highly doubt I would’ve fallen back to sleep after that either. Good grief! And for the record, I’d totally be building an action plan in my head the rest of the night after that too. Holy cow. LOL.
Oh my gosh, how scary! One night as we were in bed, our alarm system went off and I was SO freaked out. Nathan was pretty calm and went downstairs to check it out while I got a call from our alarm company. Turns out, he didn’t shut the garage door all the way so after turning the alarm on, the door opened on it’s own and set the alarm off. Freakiest moment ever, thinking someone broke into your house. My heart was thumping into my chest for the longest time.
Fagan (not just his last name… y’alls last name ) 😀
ah, true! though i still have to get mine changed. i’ve heard it’s a huge pain!
The most my husband has done is start talking to me about weird things. Thankfully he goes to sleep before I do and gets it all out before I’m actually sleeping. And he never sits up or opens his eyes when he’s doing it, so I always know what’s going on.
The next morning when I tell him about the funny things we talked about he’s always like “don’t talk to sleeping Aubrey!” lol
HAHAHA. I loooove that story. You’d be amazed at what some people do in their sleep.
On more than one occasion, my college roommate would be sitting up in bed cross-legged looking at me hours after she had fallen asleep. My favorite story is when she woke up, rummaged in her closet for 5 minutes, and then showed me the place she had chosen in the hallway to pee on. Oh, gosh…
my college roommate peed in her drawer! in her defense she was drunk… but it was hysterical! i hope she doesn’t read this… 😉
OMG hahah I was linked over here from your post about the doorbell. Just had to add… I know a guy who pees in his garbage can in his room every time he’s drunk.
I am cryingggggggggg because this post is hilarious!!! I’m so sorry you were scared but it made for a great story!!
Wow!!! That is super freaky. I would have started crying if I were you! My boyfriend occasionally talks in his sleep and one time he just woke up and started speaking gibberish to me and was freaking me out so badly, I thought 2 things: he’s possessed and I need to perform an exorcism or the couple beer he had with dinner before sleeping has scrambled his brain so badly that I need to take him to the hospital. Both completely irrational, and incorrect! I hope your heart rate has come down a bit!
OMG–I would never be able to fall back asleep! He owe you big time 🙂
That sounds like something my boyfriend would do…sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night and his arm has fall asleep, he will immediately wake up and start jumping around on the bed and shaking his arm…looks like he has ants in his pants! So funny. He’s a strange sleeper.
OMG! To funny! Ive done some weird stuff while half a sleep.. One time i woke my boyfriend up cause i thought i saw green spots all over his face.. Then another time i woke him up in a panic saying there was a red tricycle on the ceiling.. Iiiiiiinteresting… LOL!
GREAT POST. While I’m seriously glad you were not hurt, I was laughing hysterically the whole time. [;
That’s a really cute pic. 😉
I would have killed him! Glad you two are OK. 🙂
I would be freaking too! My husband will tell me random things while he is sleeping, so occasionally I don’t know if he’s awake or talking in his sleep!
Omg I wouldn’t have been able to go back to sleep either!! My heart was pounding just reading the story! Good game plan 😉
Julie, I do what Ryan did ALL THE TIME. my husband knew what he was getting into though before the wedding hehe. I’ve woken up thinking there were snakes in the bed, and I wouldn’t get in until he turned on the lights and proved it. I’ve also thought that there was someone in the house. And my personal fav, I got up once, turned on all the lights, took the covers off the bed, and told my hubby it was time for work… It was 2 am. The best thing to do is to just tell him everything is ok and help him go back to sleep. It is really upsetting! Good luck!
Oh my gosh I can’t imagine what I would do! If someone woke me up saying that I don’t know that I would EVER fall back asleep…my roommate here always wakes up saying random things (Like…”You know it’s like that thing in that game” this morning?) but never any life threatening situations!
Omg that sso scary, but so funny all at the same time~!
My husband always talks in his sleep. Sometimes it’s annoying but I couldn’t stop laughing at him the other night. I can’t remember what he said b/c I was half asleep, but I do remember giggling at him for a good five minutes.
Holy Crap, Julie! I would have flipped out. I just watched The Exorcist for the first time last night, so if that had been me, I’d have run out that door for sure…haha. Ahhh!!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!! I also would have FREAKED OUT! I prob would have jumped right out of the window! haha
that has to be the funniest yet scary story ever! i would’ve been so scared! hahaha.
my best friend sleepwalks/talks…she normally talks in korean but when it is in english, she says the craziest things!
This is so crazy but funny too!
LOL. That is crazy. I love that during a moment of crisis, Ryan puts on his watch.
Hahaha! I’m sorry that you were so scared…but that’s funny! My hubby talks in his sleep a lot but has never done something like this. However, one time at Girl Scout camp a friend of mine jumped out of bed screamed and then jumped on me…she was sleepwalking/dreaming. 🙂
Oh my gosh Julie! Shawn (my fiance’) totally did the same thing when we first moved in together!!! He sat up, shook me awake, and very seriously said “there’s someone in the house”. Then he just laid back down. I, like you, sprung into action & locked our bedroom door, then pressed my ear up to the door. Clearly there was no one in the house, and the only way he could convince me to calm down was to point out that our dog was still sound asleep, which would neverrrr happen during a break-in!
What is wrong with these boys?!?!
insane! clearly we love come crazy guys!
That is so scary…and a little bit funny as I was reading it (knowing he was dreaming of course!) 😉
I’m glad it ended up just being a dream! On the first day of classes my senior year at college, my bf and I actually did have someone break in and open our bedroom door while we were in bed! We looked up (I couldn’t see a thing without my glasses) and he took off. We were so confused and disoriented from being asleep that by the time we called the police he was long gone. Weirdest morning ever!
