WOW!

This story starts out with the fact that we have a mail key, but it won't open any box. So Jake asked me to go to the post office yesterday and see if we could get it all straightend out. Around 4:15, Alyssa and I headed out the door to got to the post office. As I shut the locked door, that I had thought about locking even though it probably isn't too necessary, I realize that I don't have the keys. So I stood there on our steps for a couple of minutes not believing that I had just done that and laughing at myself. I had no idea what I was gonna do. I mean, even though it was a warmer day, it is still winter in Wyoming. I looked at my car and thought well maybe, just maybe Jake happened to not lock it. And he hadn't which is so not like him. Alyssa and I got in the car and I pull out my phone so I could call Jake and get the number of the lady we rent from, because you see, we only have one key, the one that was safely locked in the house. As it turns out, my phone is dying and yea...... dead. All of the neighbors that I have met once were gone, so Lyss and I sat there in the car where it was at least warmer than outside.

Around 5:15, Lyss was sick of sitting in the car, so we started to walk up the road and Jake turned the corner just then. We got in the car with him and I told him of our problem and all he could say was "Wow!". He got a hold of the owner of the apartment and she said she would come let us in, but it would take her a half hour to get there.

So in the end, after Alyssa and I had sat in the car for an hour and a half, we were able to get back in! Today my number one priority is to go and get a spare key made and..... to go to the post office!
