So Monday morning I thought J had miss placed my purse. I hadn't seen it since Saturday, when I was driving home from my Moms. I turned my whole house upside down. Called friends asking if they had seen it. No one knew where it was. Needless to say I was mad @ J! He had been the one helping me unload the van when I got home! He was the last person to touch it! (Poor guy!) Well around 4 pm TC and I left to go and meet some friends @ the park behind our house. On our walk up the little alley I saw my purse hanging on the back of my neighbors fence. It was empty; I started to ball!!! I mean HUGE tears! Yes I am 23 & cry a LOT. I called J right away telling him to cancel my card & balled about how all my cash and everything else was gone. Needless to say, by the time I got across the park to J-me I was a wreck. She hugged me & even helped me look through the park trash cans. (because just maybe they threw away my student ID, Drivers License, or my Temple recommend) Not very many friends would help an extremely distraught friend go through a park trash can, but J-me did & for that alone she will be in the Celestial kingdom for sure!I forgot to mention that I carry all our grocery money and misc. money in cash in my wallet so we don't have TONS of little debit transactions on our account. I was only 9 days into the month, if you can imagine.
After I had lost all faith in humanity & decided my son is growing up in a godless (practically) world I decided to have hope. Why? Because sweet J-me.
Here is what I hope.
I hope that.....
- My debit card is being rejected right now (we canceled it so have fun with that one)
- My BYU-Idaho student ID puts the fear of God in them
- That my drivers License is just ignored, because it freaks me out know that someone knows where I live and my height and weight!
- My Money is being used to fix a broken arm or leg and not for something stupid like drugs!
- My MAC lipstick I got for Christmas from my MIL is just the shade of deep red the thief was looking for.
- The Mini Zum Bum my Mom got me will probably be thrown away because they surely have no idea what it is :(
- The temple recommend helps them find the Gospel & repent & be baptized.
- That they enjoy the emergency tampon (that all women keep in their purse), Tampox is a wonderful brand.
Thank you James for your help & the AMAZING Jello! Thank you Kara Bear for the Cheesecake from the factory! You guys are simply the BEST
XO,

Big, fat, hairy BUMMER! Eh, I'm just sick for you. Sooo sorry. You've got some pretty positive hopes there though! You're a better person than I!
how awful!! AND for them to leave it EMPTY hanging on the back of the fence? Oh man. I am sooo sorry- I'm glad you had good friends to the rescue!
Oh Kellee! I am so sorry. Did you leave your purse in the car and then they took it? Whatever, no matter where it was, it's terrible. I woke early one morning, went straight to my car to drive to the gas station, and my car had been torn apart. Someone had gone through everything! I don't think anything was missing, but they did take a portable dvd player from TK's car. What bugged me the most was the fact that a thief was in our drive way, so close to our home and it terrifies me to think of families that get robbed in their own home. Lets just be grateful that's not what happened to either you or me. Again, i am so sorry.
I am so sad for you!!! But it gives me hope that you are able to think more positively for sure.

YUCK! So sorry you had to go through that. I've never had my purse stolen, but we did have our car broken into one time and they stole expensive stuff. It's such a gut wrenching feeling of all that lost money. How blessed you are with wonderful friends who care though! Sorry hun!
btw...I'm ready to do pillows whenever you are! Maybe that will make things a WHOLE LOT better :O)
Oh Kellee...if I was half the friend you give me credit for I would be happy with myself...you are so sweet, oh, and I thought you handled yourself well.
I would like to have a little talk with Swipper and so would my fist. Sorry you have to go through this.
So Sorry Kel! That is the worst feeling in the entire world feeling like someone has your identity. Money is money. It can be replaced, along with the lipstick and tampax:) But I am glad you cancelled your cards and hopefully put an alert on your accounts to protect yourself. It is sad that people are so desperate these days!
Good luck girl
BUMMER KELLEE! I'm so sorry. That is so stressful! My thoughts and prayers are with you...and your purse ;) At least it will make a good story one of these days (hopefully sooner than later). Remember they are only things...just keep telling yourself that. I love you!
p.s. My favorite was the bit about your BYU-Idaho ID putting the fear in them...you make me laugh!
