it’s not about you

So we were gone for a bit over a week at various places. I’m hoping to find the time, energy, and state of mind to blog about some of our adventures, but for now I have to share with you a story about our solo mobile phone.

As most of you know, Joshua and I only have one mobile. Shocker, I know, but we’re on a budget. I took the phone camping this weekend at Robber’s Cave with people from our church community. Judah and I were riding with my good friend Angela in her car (as we are now carlesss). As we were coming back and pulling into my neighborhood, Joshua called to find out where we were. I told him we were about home and we finished the conversation as we pulled into the driveway. Excited to be home and see my husband, we quickly gathered all of our belongings and set off to get inside the house. Judah was giddy, and Joshua wanted to show us all the work he has put into our bikes.

I didn’t notice until the next morning that I couldn’t find the mobile. I called Angela at work to tell her I think I left it in her car. She didn’t take her car to work that day, so she would have to wait til she got home to look for it. She called that evening to tell me that she looked all over her car and couldn’t find it — she checked the pockets in the door, under the seat, around the gear shift, even in the glovebox, and could NOT find the phone. It had to be in her car, because it was the last place i had it. So she tried to call it. She could hear it ringing and vibrating, and it was right there, but for the life of her she could not find it. Until she pulled herself out of her car and stood up, and our phone was ON TOP OF HER CAR.

She then told me that after she dropped us off, she drove the fifteen minutes to the Poe’s house to help them drop off their stuff, and then she and Curran went out to eat at El Fenix, and THEN she went home. Her car sat in her carport the whole next day.

Our mobile had been on top of her car the whole time. Is that cool or what?
