Creepy...

Greg had a late night study group tonight so that makes me all alone in the house. Usually I am fine and have no visitors but then came a knock at my door!

I walk to the door just thinking it is Greg getting home early and forgot to tell me he was on his way home. But as I am walking I get this feeling that nope, this isn't Greg!

I open it anyways and there is a man standing there. He looks pleasent enough so I just think it is someone from the ward.

He explains his car just broke down right in front of my house and needs a jump.

I try to explain I don't have jumper cables.

He says well I have them and they are already hooked up and everything.

Okay...

So I say let me get my coat and I will be right out.

The man tries several times to start his car. Doesn't start.

I try asking him if he lives around here or if he has friends around here that he is visiting.

He just says "ya" to the visiting friends part and says he lives "south/west jordan."

Okay...

This man just pulled onto my street across from my house and has no friends or cell phone.

I am scared. Greg isn't coming home for another half hour and this guy's car isn't starting.

He gives up and states he will just wait a few minutes and see if his car will start without my help.

I say "okay, if you need anything I am just across the street." (with my doors bolted, my husband on the phone, and any kind of weapon close by).

That happened about a half hour ago. Greg has now banned me from opening the door by myself at night. I refuse to check if the man is still there.

Hope you had a great night!!

Oh my gosh! I can't believe you went outside with him. You are much braver than I ever would be. So I talked to Camille the other night, and I was telling her how I'm coming up to Utah in December and that we all need to get together. Sound fun?
