Mouse in the House

There I was, relaxing and enjoying my evening when I heard Joshua yell "Amanda, there's a mouse in our house!" He almost sounded frightened and I was kind of surprised that he would be afraid of a mouse. I was actually kind of excited to see a mouse! He kept telling me to hurry and come and look. It was apparently behind our bed and poking out.
Now, I didn't have my glasses or contacts on and the room was dark except for light coming through the window so it was hard to see. He told me the mouse was poking it's head over the top of the bed between our pillows. It had a weird whitish color and did not look like any mouse I had ever seen and I couldn't make out the head or anything when I finally realized… It was a computer mouse that Josh had placed on our bed… And of course there he stood laughing at his own little joke.

April Fools

This year on April 1st Joshua and I had the opportunity to sleep in and go to work later because we had our first prenatal appointment at 9:30am. We would wake up here and there (6am, 7am) but we kept rolling back over and enjoying our nice relaxing morning. Next thing I know Josh looks at his watch and shouts 'Amanda it's 9:15am, we have to go!' My heart started beating like crazy because I just KNEW there was no way we would make it in time. The drive itself is about 25 minutes. I jump out of bed and start getting dressed and I was so frustrated saying 'How in the world did that happen?' As I was stumbling into my clothes I looked at my phone and it looked like the display had frozen at 7:30am. So I told Josh that something was wrong with my phone. He looked at me with the slyest grin, said 'April Fools!' and proceeded to laugh his pants off.

Needless to say… I hit him and laid back down to get my heart rate at a relaxed state again before we actually began getting ready.
