Instant Heart Attack
I just got home from the post office and as I came around the corner, I noticed that there was a strange car parked in front of my house. 
Instantly I couldn't breathe and considered driving right on by.
Thankfully logic kicked in shortly after. I still had to take a few deep breaths and remind myself that I just got an email from my husband a couple of hours ago, there's no way they would notify me this quickly.
It sure as heck stopped my heart for a minute, though. 
I'm trying really hard not to go yell at the neighbor's friend for scaring the heck out of me - you don't do that to the spouse of a deployed Marine!

Would it be wrong if I encouraged you to tell them NOT to park in front of your damned house while he's gone? We actually ask our neighbors if we can park in front of their house before we do it.

Thanks ladies, it's nice to know someone understands how heart-stopping that would be!
T, he'll be home some time in August. We're getting there but the last few months always seem to drag on, true to form!
Sara I've never actually had this problem before. They had a lot of people over for something and I guess the person just parked in front of the house. They weren't there long and I'd not thought anything of it had my husband been somewhere safe!

That same thing happened to me during my husband's first deployment. I drove around the corner to see a government vehicle parked in front of my house. Scared the holy crap out of me!

There were some missionaries going around my neighborhood and while at my friends house (who's husband was also deployed at the time) showed up at her doorstep. I can tell you both our hearts stopped when we heard the doorbell ring.
She was nice to them but I wanted to give them a piece of my mind. In a small town, when 4000+ soldiers are deployed you do not go door to door like that!
