Lost & Found

I don't know about any of you, but I am constantly doing stupid things that make me so mad. This is a great story I thought I'd share, it's not just about doing stupid things but also a miracle. We have a water-proof, shock-proof camera so occasionally I let Boyce play with it. Well yesterday he wanted it, so I took the memory card out so he wouldn't delete any pictures. So some reason I just held the memory card in my hand for a while even after he was done playing, and took it out to our porch. Boyce came out and I didn't want him to get any idea so I wanted to hide the card. Not having any pockets I tucked it in my pants being held my the waist band. Of course I forget it was there. That evening we took a long walk (1 1/2- 2 mile) in the neighbor behind our place. It wasn't until that night when we went to bed I remember the silly memory card. I was freaking out so Mark and I searched all over the house and what we could see just outside to no avail. I was so sad so lose the pictures I had from our Utah trip and a nice memory card. So this morning we decided to retrace our steps on our walk. About 1/4 of the way into it I spotted our little memory card just sitting so perfectly on the sidewalk! I couldn't believe it! I was so happy. So sometimes things do work out even when we are stupid and careless.

I'm so glad you found it! What a miracle! Once, we left our camera on the running board of a rental car(is that what it's called? the step on the side of a large car?). Anyway, somehow our camera fell out and ended up outside of Curt's parent's rental car, and they drove about 10 minutes to their hotel, and then found it still sitting on the outside of the car! I'm so grateful Heavenly Father cares about the little things that are important to us.
