So...this happened March 16th. Almost the dreaded day. I was having a rough week at work and very busy. I walked into our staff meeting and it turned out that our Active Older Adults trip was short one person and needed another chaperone. Well...I was nominated and left right away. It was SUCH a fun trip! We took a trip up to Salem and road an old steamboat ship on the river. While on board, we were served lunch and had a theater show. Afterwards, we toured an amazing old mansion and we went to a park and rode this carousel. I was having so much fun thinking maybe work wasn't so bad. UNTIL....
Me having so much fun! More fun than I had had in a long time.
I return to the YMCA and find this in the parking lot...We guessed that it happened about 1 in the afternoon. My poor car was broken in to. There was glass everywhere!
What did they steal? My cute gym bag that had over $1500 worth of workout music in it. Yep...all my Turbokick rounds, Piyo rounds, all my choreography notes, and other work out CD's as well as some equipment for teaching. The sad thing was that they probably thought this was a purse and probably just threw it all away. What they didn't know was that this SERIOUSLY hurt me! It would have been better if they took my purse!! It took me months to recover all the music and supplies to teach my classes. I had some of it backed up but not all of it.
So here I was the next day after spending forever trying to get all the glass out of my car. I felt like a total hick! And of course it was raining! We live in Oregon. Thankfully, I was able to get it fixed that afternoon so I wasn't a redneck for more than a few hours. When you move from a big city to a small town you think you are safe...apparently not. Needless to say...that same day Chris and I went out and bought a shotgun. Desperate times and a bad economy make people do crazy things and we wanted to be prepared.
