Family comes to visit and An UNWANTED Vistor comes to visit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last week I was home doing some work before I had to leave for a Home Visit. I was siting on my couch when I hear someone on my back porch moving our chairs around. I thought it was Ryan since sometimes he comes in from the back when he puts his tools and ladders away. Except after this man gets the chair he places it in the corner by our french doors and sits down!

My heart starts to beat and I go to the front to see if Ryan's truck is outside. His truck is NOT outside!!!! I then go to the window where the previous renters had broke and pear out and see a man sitting in my chair with tattoos all up his arm, wearing a wife beater and dickie shorts. He is crouched really close to the wall on the chair. My hearts begins to beat so fast! THERE IS A MAN ON MY BACK PORCH AND I AM HOME ALONE! My first reaction was to call the police. I called 911 and the lady was so sweet she told me to stay calm and that police were on their way. She asked me what he looks like and I told her. She then asked if he had a WEAPON!!! I walked so quietly over to the window and said I couldnt see and if I looked any harder he would see me. She told me to not worry about it and then asked me to wait for the police to come. I then look outside my window and there are Marshals coming down my street with huge guns in their handsthey get the call on the radio and the next thing I see is three men go around one side of my house and then three go on the other and they jump my fence and I hear " GET DOWN GET DOWN GET DOWN, HANDS UP!!! I dont know why but I went to the kitchen and watched them arrest this man. The police then start jumping my back fence to catch another guy who was hiding in my next door neighbors pool!!! The Marshal comes to my front door and asks me to either open my side gate or let them walk the man through my house!!! I called Ryan and got the key so they could go out the gate!!! About an hour later I still hear the GHETTO BIRD above the house! I go outside and talk with my neighbors. I guess the Marshals busted a Meth house in North Mesa and chased these three guys and a girl all the way down to our place and they ditched the car and took off running in our neighborhood and lucky me I got one of them in my BACKYARD!!!! The GHETTO BIRD was still around since they couldnt find the girl. Not to long after they found the girl hiding out in a house a few doors down and she broke in and was pretending it was her kitchen and cooking!!!! So after all the adrenaline I thought: Man, I loved watching COPS as a kid and this was seriously like that!!!

Later that night after Ryan and I said our prayers and thanked Heavenly Father for keeping me safe I truly realized that he did keep me safe! That man could have done so much more than just take my chair,place it by the doors and sit in it. He could have broken in and held me hostage and your imagination can run wild from there! We wont go there since I have had bad dreams from going there. Needless to say, I feel so blessed and so watched over that I was ok and that these people were chased into our neighborhood and not just hanging around!

Oh my goodness Karm! That is a crazy story!! I bet you are all over buying a good alarm system and a gun now, huh?! That is so scary! I am ALWAYS scared something like that is going to happen to me. I always hear weird noises and call Court or my Mom or something and have them stay on the phone w/ me for a while.

I do have a gun for this very reason! Anyway... I'm glad you are safe!!

WOWZERS!! That is scary. So glad you are safe. I would have been watching out my window too!!

Holy crap Karm, how scary is that!!!! I seriously would have been bawling my eyes out and it sounds like you totally held your cool. So random that he would just come sit in your back yard and that is crazy about the chick pretending to cook in someone else's house. I hate meth labs, meth addicts and everything to do with them. I saw way to much working for child protective services and it's so sad to see what it does to these people.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that and I can only imagine your heart just about jumping out of your chest. I'm so glad you're safe and it's for sure that Heavenly Father was protecting you.
I love you girl and I'm glad all is well! Just a reminder to keep our doors locked right? :)
Thanks for your sweet comment.

Geez Karmann!! How scary, it sounds like you handled it well...a lot better that I think I would have. I am glad you are okay!

Thank you for the sweet words. I love those girls more than I could ever express. It blows my mind to think we have had them almost 3 years. To see how far they have come, they have become such beautiful little girls with the sweetest spirits. Melly had to give a talk in Primary last week and it was on Heavenly Father sending her to her family. I bawled everytime we worked on it and when she gave it on Sunday. If she only knew how he sent her to her family...someday!

Is the conference question a trick one?!! I should say watching conference although it is hard with the girls. They do good for a little bit so I Tivo it and watch it later. SOOOOOO if you are going to be around there is nothing I would rather do. Email or call me and we can talk about it.

Karmann, that was definitely a scary day on our street and I'm sad it happened to you . . . but I think you saved our little street from anything further. I would have panicked and have been frozen . . . I must say I'm impressed your phone worked well enough to call 911 too!! Our darn cell phones LOL!!! I always see Ryan out talking on his phone while I'm talking on mine outside. Please feel free to come over and chat anytime. You are darling.
Drake Family said…
So I have to tell ya...I read this the day you posted it and went to comment and my computer froze up. So...sorry I am just now getting around to commenting on your crazy story.
Holy crap!! I would have freaked out so bad! Good thing you thought to call 911 when you saw the guy outside. That is so totally crazy!! So glad the lady didn't decide to come inside your house and start cooking and glad that you were safe.
Julie said…
Wow, that is crazy!! I'm so glad you are ok and unharmed! I'm also impressed that you kept your cool and were able to call for help. You really were watched over and I'm grateful that you were kept safe! Love you lots!

Karm ~ You are like a regular superwomen...busting the bad guys and all. I would have probably fainted until the whole thing was over. I can't believe that happened, I am so glad you are safe! We love you!
