A Night to Remember....

So this might make you think "Oh they went somewhere romantic" or " Boy this sounds like the theme of my Prom." Nope that is not what this is about at all. What is there to say about last night. This is a story we will be telling our grandchildren about and laughing. So Justin and I decide to go to the Kingdom Hall to get a few things done. So we arrive there around 8:30 and stay until 10:00. We were just throwing out the last of the trash. As Justin says " One of us needs to open the trash can so the other can throw away the trash." I think "Ok that sounds right." Well when we come back to go inside we come to find out that the doors locked behind us. We have these doors at the Kingdom Hall that one side you lock behind you when you go in and the other you can push to open when you leave, but we forgot that that one locks behind you. Now we are standing outside in 20 degree weather and we can see our keys to the car, Kingdom Hall, and our phones inside. A wave of "I cant believe this just happened to us" crossed our faces. So what can we do, we have no money, no car, no keys, nothing. So we start to walk home. Remind you that it is 20 degrees, after 10 o'clock at night, I am wearing my Coach boots, jeans and a ski jacket, Justin is wearing jogging pants, sweatshirt, and running shoes (someone was prepared and someone wasn't LOL) and home is 8 miles away. So was we are running home we think is there anyone close by with a key. The closest couple is older and probably already in bed. So we had to run 8 miles all the way home. And remember this is Tennessee there are no flat places here. So we are running up and down hills. I so have a new appreciation for cars. Finally we made it home at 11 o'clock ( I know I can't believe we ran that fast either). Got the other car and my other Kingdom Hall key, drove back and unlocked the hall. Today Justin and I both have sore calves, but other then that we are fine. So what did this teach Justin: Never put your keys anywhere else but your pocket. And what did it teach me: Never wear your Coach boots when you go with Justin in case he leaves his keys somewhere and you have to run 8 miles to get home. LOL
