Did I Ever Tell You About Tiki Barber?

I don't know why I thought of this story, or even why I am compelled to share it, but I woke up in the middle of the night last night and couldn't fall back asleep and this story popped into my head.  And I laughed out loud.  It's one of those stories that I can't tell without bursting into hysterical laughter.  Every time.

I thought it should be properly documented.

Now, let me describe my husband for you... he is one of the least violent {except for maybe video games & movies}, most caring, person I know.  Let's say he's a lover not a fighter. Lol.

Well, one night, before we were even married, in the middle of a deep sleep I was abruptly woken... with a right hook.

I shit you not.

I SHOT up, pushed him back, attempting to wake him from a dead sleep and said, "What the $@#* was THAT?"

"Tiki Barber"

"I'm sorry, WHAT?!?!"

"Tiki Barber, I had stop him."  And with that he was back to a sound sleep.  In his mind, he had justified to me what had happened, if he even knew what had actually occurred, and he was back in good ole' dream land.

I didn't know whether to punch him back, or die of hysterical laughter.  I was in shock, lol, and exhausted, so I went back to sleep, prepared to grill him in the morning.

Fast forward a few hours.

We wake up to our 6am alarm clock and husband-to-be rolls over with his usual morning grin, wanting to be all lovey-dovey with me, when I abruptly stop him.

"DUDE, what the hell was that last night?"

"What do you mean?"

"Umm, you sent a right hook my way, then told me it was Tiki Barber"

I couldn't even finish the sentence without bursting out laughing, both of us did, because it was so insanely absurd.

"Oh, that really happened, huh?"

"Yes.  Yes, it did."

"Omg, I am so sorry.  I was having a dream that I was playing football and Tiki Barber was running down the field and I HAD to stop him."

"OMG."

We've had many laughs about this story, I even giggle just writing it down.  But, I did warn him, if there is ever a next time {which there better not be}... I will retaliate.  Lol.

We have another house project filled day ahead of us... should be fun. But, I am super excited for Breakfast with my Besties tomorrow!  I love when we are all together!!

From my Bachelorette in 2009.

We can be apart for any amount of time, but when we get together it's like no time has passed at all.  And it's always a good time!

Love you girls!
