Keys, Police, and a Bottle of Wine

We left for church feeling pretty good, we were on time and doin good. I looked at my keys hanging on the wall and thought, "Na, Justice has his why would I need my keys". Walked past my phone thinking, "I don't need a phone at church". and of we went to a lovely day at church where we got a new Bishop and my Nursery kids were exceptionally adorable and well behaved. after Church we drove home the long way and were detoured by some road crews through a really cool cemetery and past some Crazy cool houses. All in all it was a good day, so far.

We arrived home with the kids asleep in the backseat I looked at Justices key ring to notice something missing. "Um... Dear, I think I am going to be kind of upset with you." Justice looked too at the place where his house keys should have been... BUT WEREN'T. Yesterday he had forgotten to put them back after unlocking the garage when we got home, our garage doesn't need a key to lock it you just turn the handle. any way we sat for a minute and contemplated our options, no phone and no keys on a Sunday afternoon... there weren't many. We thought that it was possible that we could have left a sliding door unlocked on the balcony, so Justice shimmied on up to find a securely locked door and windows. hmmm... maybe the back door. But first we knocked on a few neighbours to find a phone Justice told our neighbour two doors down our sad situation and he kindly lent us his phone to call the real estate lady who was out and about and unable to help us until later that night. Well there was that back door hope of being unlocked... so Justice tried it while I sat in the car with the sleeping children. Now let me explain how our houses are situated. they are all in a line and we are third from the end. there is another row of houses going the other way so there is no direct access to our yard without going through others. So that is what he did. As I sat cleaning up our mess of a car because I figured I would use my time wisely!! I notices three Police cars speed to a stop and pile out... then My Neighbour right next to us ran frantically out of his house to greet them... meanwhile in the back yard Justice was surrounded by Police coming from all three fences. "Do you know a good Locksmith?" he asked calmly. Back in the front I got out of my car and talked to my Neighbour who informed me that someone was trying to brake into my house, I told him it was most likely my husband and we were sorry but we had tried to knock at his door but didn't get an answer and all that... any way Justice came through his house escorted by a few police and we had to quickly find some ID that proved that this was in fact our house. Eventually they left and we apologized again to our neighbour and thanked him for being so concerned and watching out for us. He apologized for calling the police and not recognizing Justice. We had dropped off Cinnamon buns a few weeks ago so he went in and got our plate and a bottle of wine for us, I just thanked him, I didn't have the heart to tell him we don't drink alcohol after all the stress we put him through.

We went to a friends house to wait it out until we could get into our house again. Justice was supposed to go home teaching with Dan Alamaro (I spell it wrong every time, sorry)and the kids and I were going to go visit with Jenny and Ellie while they were gone. So they kindly let us stay a little longer then planned until we could get in touch with our real estate lady for a key. So it all worked out they still got to go home teaching and we eventually got into our house! And we still have that bottle of wine in the garage if any one wants it!
