Open/close sensor with SMS text alarm

Our garage faces the alley and it is not unusual to hear of people leaving the garage door open and get stuff stolen. The trade offs of leaving inside the loop in Houston as it is for any large city in the world (even Oslo). Now it has been 3 times that we forget the garage door open, and this last time we left it overnight! Lucky us, the garage was intact and this is unusual, more than 8 hours open and nothing taken, more than unusual I'll classify it as miracle. Anyway, I needed to do something about it so I thought of using one of the ESP8266 modules and add an email service in it, but ultimately send SMS messages to me and my wife.
