I woke up from a bad dream the other night and began to try to figure out if it was really happening. (you know those times when it's hard to separate reality from dreams, even when dreams are ridiculous) and in this particular dream, there was a gang from Ogden, Ut who were big drug dealers. The leader of that gang, aka the "Drug Lord" would kill anyone who tried to stop him. So wouldn't you know, who got put in charge of stopping him? Yep, Nate. Of course I was worried sick, and soon enough the gang, and more importantly the Drug Lord, found this out and were coming for Nate.

At that point, I woke up.

Later that afternoon, while talking with Nate, I remembered my dream and began to tell him about it. I got to the end and the part when I "woke" up and said something to the effect of:

"Around 5 AM, in a panic, I was trying to think of all the things we needed to pack to get out of Dodge and make a run for it." (formula and diapers were the first two things I thought of, naturally)

Then all of the sudden I had a distinct memory that I hadn't remembered earlier.

"Oh my heck Nate, I think I googled it!"
"Googled it?" he questioned, confused.
"Yeah, when I woke up. I think I googled it." I said as I picked up my phone and began looking for the search history on my internet.

Sure enough, there it was. "drug lord Ogden, Ut"

As soon as I read it, the memory came rushing back to me.

When I woke up, I realized my worries might have been a dream, and rather than rolling over and asking Nate if he was in fact the new leader of the good citizens trying to stop corruption, instead, I very rationally decided to "google it". Yep, google it. Because surely, (according to my groggy brain) if I googled "drug lord ogden, ut" and it pulled up any news stories of drug lords killing innocent citizens, then I would need to worry.

Shockingly, there were no such stories. (a few involving drug busts in Ogden, but none too scary) This apparently sufficed me, because I put down my trusty iphone and easily fell back asleep.

And there you have it...(and yes...I heard Beyonce was prego, and I was watching Karate Kid that afternoon) :)

As you can imagine, Nate was all but rolling on the floor in tears. As was I.

Moral of the story:
1. Don't watch "Border Wars" (the show on A&E about the U.S. Border Patrol trying to keep illegal immigrants and drug smugglers from coming into the U.S.) before bed, and
2. Google does in fact have an answer for everything.
