Today was one of those mornings where I felt like I was going a million miles an hour. My run went kind of late and long and so it was making me late to my 9am class which I had a quiz in this morning. So I didn't even take a shower after my run (I know, I know. Not the smartest thing but if you had a quiz in 15 minutes, you wouldn't have either ) so I could get there early to review the chapter for my quiz. So I have my quiz on my mind and trying to plan tomorrow and flying home with everything else and I am in such a hurry that I park, jump out of my car, lock it only then realizing that my car is not only locked but still RUNNING!!! I had locked my keys in my car with it still running. It was one of those moments where I didn't know if I should laugh, cry, scream or cuss. I would never cuss...out loud. Anyways, so I am so stunned at this point that I just have to laugh about it. I go in to try and study for my quiz while in the meantime, Lena is back at the apartment searching for my spare key. Bless her and Sifa's heart. They were really trying to help me out. So after I take my quiz, I go out to call campus police to have someone come unlock my car. And FYI, it's only $20 while a normal locksmith is anywhere from $45-60 here in Provo. So Sifa is in the process of dropping off Lena at school and bringing me my check book so I can write a check to this locksmith man. Mr. Locksmith man comes, unlocks my door so dang easily with all his cool little tools that it got me thinking I should get them. But then what if you lock your keys in your car with the tools in your trunk? Therefore POINTLESS! So anyways, me and Mr. Locksmith man are waiting for Sifa to come with my checkbook and then the most heavenly words I have ever heard:
Mr Locksmith Man: "Don't worry about paying for it. I found $10 in the glove compartment."
Me: "Are you serious?"
MLM: "Of course. It's not big deal. You have a nice day Ma'am."
Me: (hardly being able to contain myself) "You too! And you have a fantastic Monday!"
Me: "Are you serious?"
MLM: "Of course. It's not big deal. You have a nice day Ma'am."
Me: (hardly being able to contain myself) "You too! And you have a fantastic Monday!"
And then I proceeded to tell him that he deserves a raise.
Moral of the story: Call BYU police if you lock your keys in your car and do it really early in the morning, so the guy won't want to stand in the cold waiting for your friend to show up with money.
It's going to be a great week!
Oh and P.S., Mr. Locksmith Man's name is Justin, he is from Bountiful and majoring in International Relations. We had some time to burn.

I think I am having a similar experience right now. It's not over yet though... I got towed and the guy was flirting with me when I wrote him a disgustingly large check. He still hasn't cashed it yet, so I'm hoping he never does. It's been 4 weeks...
Oh wow...that was quite the morning for you!! I'm glad it worked out okay.
Oh my heck, that story made me laugh so hard. Way to not cuss aloud. Thank you Mr. Locksmith, what a good man! And yes we should go see twilight on Wednesday. I was hoping I would be able to go to the coldplay concert that night, but things aren't going to work out I dont think so its perfect. I have been looking for an excuse to see it again. :)
Wow you are lucky! I've locked my keys in the car twice, and since I've lost the spare we always have to call someone it's such a hassle! I'm always so paranoid I'm going to accidently lock Audrey in the car. Anyways, I LOVED this story, thank goodness for GREAT people like Mr. Locksmith Man
HAHA! I am so guilty of this, it's embarressing! Mines even worse cause I didnt even realize it and I had been sitting in that boring Weight Watchers meeting and decided to sneak out early. Well, I went to my car, couldnt find my keys so I assume they are near where I was sitting inside. I am looking everywhere and ask everyone and their dog if they've seen my keys. I go back outside and FINALLY realize my car is running...it had been running for like an hour! I know, What a retard! Luckily Steven is smart and had one of those magnetic spare keys that stick to the inside of the car. Steven had fun teasing me with that one for a while.
Oh hey, lets get together while your here, Do you leave on Sunday? I could come by and visit with Steven and the babies or whatever:)
