Now Sleeping With One Eye Open!

We had an incident in December I also wanted to post…

Trent and I were peacefully sleeping one night, 

when out of nowhere Trent gets SLAMMED in the face by something, and this something (or someone for all we know!) hits me in the nose too! 

So we both wake up at the same time, doing who knows what... just freaking out. 

He immediately thinks someone is in our room attacking us or beating us up or something, so he shoots up just about throwing punches, and I am clinging onto him having no idea what in the world is going on. 

We both sit up and he gets up to turn on the light. I started feeling around on the bed to see if I can find anything. I felt something warm, and when it hit Trent’s face I heard the slam! Like it made a crashing noise! So my first thought was someone had thrown a grenade through our window, naturally, and there it was sitting next to me on the bed, about to blow. (We had just had a conversation about grenades the day before, haha!) 

And can i just say... 

being completely asleep and then being suddenly awaken by something slamming you in the face... is just weird. Like you are not expecting it to say the least and are just completely out of it and can't see a darn thing and are really frazzled, for lack of a better word!

This all happened in a matter of like ten seconds.

Come to find out, it was the vent on our ceiling!! What the?!

We had been living at our apartment for a good 8 months, why in the world would the ceiling vent fall from the ceiling that much later, and what are the odds that we happen to be asleep, DIRECTLY UNDER IT!? And not only that, what are the odds it hits BOTH of us!? And the fact that we have vaulted ceilings doesn’t help either.

Poor Trent got a gash on his nose and eyebrow. Yes, eyebrow, see the pic! What if it had hit his eyeball?! I could have a blind husband! And by the way, those vents are heavy! And sharp!

Most of all, what if there had been a baby sleeping under it?! Could be death!!

SO…

Check your ceiling vents! Make sure they are nice and secure. First of all, make sure they are screwed in...!!! Someone, not to mention names Landlord, had not screwed it in…?? Looks like someone needs to take Landlording 101. We couldn’t go back to sleep for ever, about gave us a heart attack! I know, weirdest thing ever. 

 Sharp!!!

 Yes that is blood on the vent.
