Yesterday was an interesting day to say the least! It began like a pretty normal Sunday. Travis and I woke up, ate breakfast, he got ready, and then I took him to the church for a meeting. After I dropped him off, I drove home and started to unlock the door. I've unlocked our front door hundreds, probably thousands of times, but this time the key hole decided to flip all the way around upside down and consequently, the whole lock was jammed. The door is around 90 plus years old, so it was bound to break sometime. We had our keys in hand and still were locked out! That just never happens. I went and picked up Travis who tried to get inside but he couldn't either. So, he called the landlord.
The landlord said he would come down to fix it, except he lives in Park City so it would be about a 1.5 hour wait. I took Travis back to his meetings at the church, and camped out in my car for a bit. Thank goodness for a smart phone to keep me entertained. And at least I had semi-okay looking pajamas on! Minus almost peeing my pants and not having a bathroom, it wasn't too bad of a wait. Our landlord showed up and eventually broke in through another door from the upstairs house. He had to remove the lock completely and buy and install a new one with new keys. He was here for a good part of the day and we are thankful he came down here as soon as he could! We even made it to church in the afternoon.
I couldn't help but laugh---this was the best finale to living in this old house after all the other crazy issues that have come up with it! This definitely ranks among the most memorable.
Later that night we went to Utah Lake for me to shoot some pictures for my second photography class that just started. Provo really is so beautiful!
