GOOD DAY

OK- I guess it balances out somehow. I was having such a bad day because of the loss of my camera.

I will tell you about a day that was even worse- about 2 years ago.

I was visiting my parents in another state. 2 of my friends rode up and back with me. We had so much stuff in the car that RD put the cargo holder on the hitch of the truck to carry a few more containers full of stuff.

One project that I was wanting to work on with Dad was to take my home videos and burn them onto a DVD. We got a few of them done but it was more something that I was wanting to learn how to do so that I could do it once I got home.

Well, on our last day, before we drove home, we decided to go horseback riding. We parked the truck a little ways from the horse barn and while we were riding, someone stole all of the containers off the back of my truck (I know, it was stupid to leave the truck unattended but I did it none-the-less).

Inside one of the containers was GBK's stuff- clothes, diapers, etc that I didn't need until after we got home. I also stuck a few of those videos in last minute. I don't know why. Some were brand new but a few had movies on them. When I searched through to see what was missing I was sick at my stomach. Her baptism and 1st birthday was gone. I just wanted to throw up.

Everytime I have thought about it these last 2 yrs, I got that sick stomach feeling. So I try not to think about it. Luckily I have another copy of the baptism, so that is ok.

Ready for the happy surprise?

This morning I decided to get the videos organized. While going through them, I found the birthday video inside the wrong box. So only the bday box was taken- not the actual video. Shew. I cried tears of joy.

GBK and I watched all of our home movies this afternoon. Amazing how quickly she has grown- and other kids that were videoed as well.
