This weekend has been crazy!!! Friday I went with Kristi and Lizzy to a soccer game and a Warren Barfield (check him out he's cool). Saturday Ellen got into town...yeahhh good times. We went to El Cancun with Stephanie and Aaron (her bf). Then Ellen and I went to a Marc Broussard concert in NODA. We went to church on Sunday, then went out to eat with some friends from church and then we decided to go play putt putt golf.
We went to the ZUMA fun center behind the CarMax dealer on Cherry Rd. and for those of you that know me and my green purse...well I didn't feel like carrying it around all day while playing golf...so I left it in my car. We had a good time, but then when we returned to the car I realized that my car had been broken into and my purse was stolen!! Haha! Well the funny thing is that I had both of my credit cards, my drivers license, my cell phone, my cash and my keys. So we (Ellen and I) were kind of rejoicing that I had been relieved of my trash. We filled out a police report at about 5:30pm. On our way out of the parking lot I realized that my CD's were missing too. We laughed it off and went to Dunkin Donuts for smoothies. I got a call at about 6pm "Hi yes is this Emily Becker?" I said "Yes." "Hi there ma'am this is the Charlotte Police Department. Are you by any chance missing a very large green bag?" I said (laughing) "Is this a joke?" "No ma'am this is no joke." "Well actually officer I just reported it missing 1/2 hour ago." "Well we have it down at the station. Are you also missing a black CD case with about 100 CD's in it?" Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing was stolen out of my purse and I got all of my CD's back within an hour of me realizing that they were missing. I told Ellen "Thank god nobody values my trash like I do." Haha the people who stole my stuff just threw it in the woods and somebody was walking by it and (well of course who could not notice my huge bag because it's the size of an elephant) called the police. The police went down and picked it up and found my number inside and called me. When Ellen and I went to the police station there was all of these leaves stuffed in it (along with my junk) and a cockroach crawled out of my purse!! The police officer was laughing at Ellen and I squealing and trying to kill it.
It is so rare that people get there stuff back...let alone within an hour of reporting it! We laughed the rest of the day about it and as I was going to sleep on Sunday night with Ellen sleeping next to me I couldn't help but suddenly burst into laughter like a crazy person. Then Ellen started laughing. Then we finally settled down...only to burst into laughter again!
One thing that I never want to loose is my ability to laugh off almost anything. Stuff is stuff and money is money. The only thing that really matters (and I have to credit this to Eternal because they came up with the phrase) is God People Scripture (GPS), which is why after I got my stuff back I kept making random jokes about having my own GPS system. What can I say...I'm cheesy! This weekend was awesome! I love you Ellen and Rachel I wish you could have been there!
