I Never Knew...


Daniel is an army man. I didn't know much about the army except that it was a really scary thing, that young men join for lots of reasons... Dan went to boot camp right after high school.. well all I can say is that I see the effects of what they did to him. Just a few nights ago, I woke up to hear Dan coughing next to me. I wondered if he was ok, without thinking, I reached out putting my hand gently on his back. To my great surprise, the blankets flew back, Dan seemed to roll off the bed with so much speed, he almost hit the wall. I blinked. He was crouched at the bottom of the bed, staring at me. I stared back, I'm sure my 'stare' showed much more shock than his. When Dan started to breath, he was laughing. My tense muscles melted, and Dan crawled back into bed chuckling to himself. "What?" I asked him. He continued to chuckle as he told me his dream. Spiders everywhere, giant taranchulas climbing toward him and his brother Joel. Joel tried to spray one with insect Zapper, hoping to kill it. The spider started to fume, and die, but more came. Lots of them, then all of the sudden Dan felt one on his back! Woah... Thanks to me, I made his dream more real, and thus he leaped out of bed. I was beginning to think it was because of all of that boot camp training! Good times.

Boys! They are NUTS! During our first couple years together, I was nearly punched several times during some of the more dramatic dreams... a few of them have been sports related. Scoring the winning touchdown in the game... others more intense fighting scenes, one with him riding around on a motorcycle shooting at all the "bad guys"....luckily, B doesn't dream often, or someone might begin to question our domestic bliss!

I am still laughing about that dream! So funny, thanks for sharing it!

That is great! I know I have hit nate a couple of times and vice versa during dreams. The best I can say is that for whatever reason the dreams calm down after the first few years, except when you're pregnant, then they're very vivid. I dreamed last night that Nate got drunk and I was so mad at him that it woke me up! grrrr.....

Not smart...have you not read D&C Pslam 33:348? Specifically the last stanza...
"and when thou hast sealed thine vows before me...thou shalt give a time of penance before sharing thy marital bed. Behold, great woes upon thou whom heeds not mine decree of three spans of the four seasons before thou sharest thine marital bed for a full fortnight"

heehehheheheheh

That was a vivid rendtion...mabye we can make a video memory for you...that would be funny.

check out the "Pslam-ist" below...very cool indeed. Cooler if you quoted PsaLms but I still like it "nonetheless". It sounds to me like good advice. Ryan is the jumper and talker in his sleep in our family too, lots of great stories that play out like scenes from a movie..one time right after Mallory was born, she was sleeping on my chest and Ryan picked us both up, while he was still asleep and told me he needed to move us- he picked us up quite high too! haha..
"great woes upon thou whom heeds not mine decree" was upon me then for we had only been married for 2 years at that point. Wait, thats over 2 weeks. Maybe he accidentally said fortnight and he meant fortyear.
Love the story, the image is ...disgusting..of all the spiders. I feel for Dan with all your spidery touchin' on him and all , uck!

Bloo Ruin said...

Yea...didnt look up definition on fortnight actually..was not sure but it sounded good. I pulled that one out at work...

Considering that it was MY made up scripture that combines D&C and pslams into D&C Pslams....I think it is a moot point to compare reality to fantasy and try to make fantasy match up.

Having said that...I did notice that the real PSALMS is spelled interestingly...dont ask why I noticed it today and not years ago..but look at the word...PS.. ALMS...so wasnt it like "alms for the poor" so maybe someone added these to the end of thier letters like
PS
ALMS ...the wrote in there 'ALM' and when the Bible was put together those writing it just put PS and ALMS on the same line and we now have PSALMS but maybe..just maybe they are really PS....ALMS
LOL
yes...im wierd...and proud..lol...lol hee lol roflmao

ha ha, jon , you are awesome. I liked the story. Pretty cool. We never wake each other up. Some nights, N8 will lightly jerk.

ONe morning i woke up and n8 wasnt in bed. He had said that he wasnt feeling well, so i went into the bathroom to see if he was laying on the floor next to the toilet and was throwing up, but he wasnt there. I searched the house and checked the garage. His truck was still there. I couldnt find him anywhere...i finally checked our guest bedroom and he was sleeping in there. He woke up..i asked him if he was feeling ok...he said that he was fine, he had to sleep in the guest bed because i kept hitting him and he was tired of getting hit. Ha!

When we were first married I would have these horrible dreams and then when I woke up I would be mad at Calvin, not fair, but he was so mean in the dream! I had to get over that.

oh man... I don't Think i've ever hit Dan. I usually just wake up remembering that i'm married, smile and try to cuddle up to him.. Most of the time he continues to sleep without noticing me. Hey Anne, I was thinking about getting sick.. I remember in highschool when I got sick, you would come and help me if I had to throw up and stuff. I didn't mind it.. i liked that you wanted to help. But there was one night that I felt extremely sick.. Daniel said maybe i should go in the bathroom just in case. I did. When I started to throw up, I got really embarrassed, he came to see if I was ok. I didn't want him to see me like that. I wonder why I felt so different with Anne in High school then I felt with Daniel. I guess it's newly wed stuff.


I can't believe Celeste had a baby!

rubberbucketsaysso said...

it is mainly newlywed stuff. Anne and all of us have all seen you sick like that before, and so you can't really be embarrassed that we would see you like that. however, Dan is supposed to think you're cute and pretty ALL the time, and who feels pretty when they're sick?
