Living out loud in the Carolinas

these shoes were made for walkin’

saturday husband attended marc’s bachelor party. marc & jon (husband) have been friends for a long time, they were even roommates in college. now marc’s marrying my sister. isn’t that all convenient? anyway, about 10-12 boys rented a limo and went bar hopping into the wee hours of sunday morning. the starting point was about 35 minutes away from home so i dropped jon off and he would be spending the night at josh’s (the start point) and i would pick him up sunday morning. sara dropped marc off, amy dropped landon etc., so all the girls, we went to dinner after. my mom and little sister morgan were with us too and after dinner it was decided that i would stay at my mom’s that night instead of being all alone at my house. by this time it’s late so i ran home, picked up nelson puppy, put on my pj’s, grabbed my toothbrush and headed over to mom’s. morgan went to stay with sara so i crashed in her room. i swear this is all relevant, just hang in there. we didn’t go to bed til after 1 am. i woke up at about 7 and checked my cell phone. 16 missed calls. what?!? all from jon’s cell. so i call his cell, no answer. so i call josh’s where a very sleepy josh tells me jon’s not there and that he left with kevin. i don’t have kev’s number so i just settled for leaving a message on jon’s cell. mom then tells me someone called there at 3:37am and when she woke up she went to block the number and saw it was jon’s cell. now i’m a little worried. i head for home around 8 and find a sleeping husband. whew!

turns out… kevin offered jon a ride home but when kevin dropped him off and left jon realized he didn’t have his keys. he left them in my glove compartment (unbeknownst to me). so my poor boy is lock out at 3ish am. he sets off on foot for my mom’s. luckily my mom lives just 1.2 miles away. he breaks in to her house, gets my keys out of my purse, opens my car, gets his keys, puts my keys back in my purse, then walks all the way back home! i asked why didn’t he just come sleep with me- but he didn’t know morgan wasn’t there. he said knowing his luck he’d slide into bed and my mom or sister would be in there with him! and he didn’t take my car home because he’d been drinking. he was a very sleepy boy yesterday…with good reason! i just thought that was so pitiful, my poor boy hoofing it through the neighborhood. all while his wife is sleeping peacefully. =)
