Fun sunday 2

This morning we had a fun adventure trying to get to church. Laura changed her clothes about five times and Nicholas took all of the clothes out of his drawers before we left around 10:50. I set our scriptures on the top of the car to put Nick in his car seat, and then we where off. About half way to church, a lady stopped beside us at a traffic light honked her horn and signaled to roll down our window. She told us that there was "a bible" sitting on the top of the car. I turned right when the light turned green and stopped. Sure enough, there was Laura's quad, just where I had left it. My quad, on the other hand was no where to be seen, seeing as how I had left it on top of Laura's. We back tracked to our appartment searching for the fallen scriptures, but to no avail. Turning around in our parkinglot, we drove to church. Feeling pretty down about the lost scripture and for being late to sacrament meeting, we parked and got out of the car. Glancing at the car next to ours I noticed a green leather bound quad and I thought "that looks an awfull lot like my scriptures. Looking closer I saw the fadded golden letters "Andrew Steven Richards." Extatic that I some one had found my scriptures, I rummaged in my glove box for a pen and paper to leave a note under their windshield wiper. After completing the note and locking our doors we went happily toward the chapel... when I felt in my pockets and found that I didn't have my keys. Laura didn't have hers in her purse either. Now we had no way of getting into our car or our appartment. Walking into the chapel we felt pretty discouraged. They had just finished the sacrament and we were not sure what to do. I noticed that there where a few wire hangers on the coat rack and thought I might try my hand at lock picking. After about 10 minuts I came back into the church with my keys and a wire hanger beyond recovery. It turned out to be harder to unbend the hanger than to get the door unlocked. I hope every one else has had a good, and less eventfull sunday:)

It's called fun sunday 2 because the first time we tried to publish this, it defaulted the date to the first of july.

Sad story. I'm sorry you had such a bad Sunday. I have left my wallet on top of the car and driven off. Thankfully, someone found it and was honest enough to call me and bring it to me. I'm also glad you got into your car.

That is a crazy story! Doesn't it really feel like when it rains it pours? You never just have one bad thing go wrong, there are always at least three or four or more. But I guess we can look at blessings that way too! Thank goodness you found both sets of scriptures, and were able to get your car door open.

Doesn't it sometimes seem like the crazy days are the normal ones and the normal, less stressful and eventful ones are really the crazy days, as there are fewer "normal" days... Oh, maybe that is just me! I am glad that Laura changed 5 times, and I am not the only one to do that. Mike always laughs when I come out wearing something that I didn't start out in.
