Memory for August 12th

August 12^th

Ok so I got behind in my memories and had the days mixed up. Today was actually doctor day and I can't remember what happened yesterday on Wednesday the 11th. See this is why I need to write everyday. I am forgetting things too quickly. lol

For today I'll tell a kind of funny story about our previous vacations. About three weeks ago, Julia noticed her DS games were missing. Unfortunately, she discovered this as we were walking out the door leaving for our vacation in July. Not a good way to start a trip. Especially since there was already a high price item missing in our house; Ariana's iTouch went missing in June.

As we were driving to Grand Haven, Trevor and I were discussing how upset we were that Julia did not take care of her stuff. We were really upset that the games were missing. I was trying to make us feel better and decided we should enjoy this moment. One day we will look back on this and think this was the easy stuff. We will say, “Wow remember the good old days when Julia's mistakes were easy like loosing a DS case.” I said in the future it could be worse. She could be saying I didn't mean to crash the car. Or god forbid she comes to us one day and says I didn't know it could happen the first time. (Read into that statement) Yeah, we decided it could be A LOT worse so we enjoyed this moment of the lost DS cases and savored the fact that this was the easy stuff. lol

The ds cases ended up reappearing two days before we left for our next trip when I rearranged her room and went through all her stuff again. I found them in her bag that had a gazillion pockets. I went through that bag went then first went missing. I guess I missed that one pocket. We thought Julia learned her lesson and would be more careful with them. But then six days later when we were in Petoskey on our way to Sault Ste. Marie, she starts to panic and says she can't find her cases. AGAIN?! AGH! We had checked out of our hotel in Traverse City that morning and the last place she remembers seeing them was on the bed. Of course, when we left went through the room I didn't check under the covers. I always check under the covers and I don't know why I didn't this time.

So I called the hotel and told them which room we were in and asked if someone found two Nintendo DS game cases. The woman on the phone asked if one of the cases were pink and the other one white. I told her yes those were them. We didn't want to turn around. We had been driving around taking our time sight seeing and were at least an hour and half away. We also didn't want to go out of our way on the trip home to get them. So my mom came to the rescue. Good thing she was driving up to Traverse City area the next day to visit her sister. Thank you so much mom! And Juuullliiiaaaa!!!!! lol
