Good People
Yesterday, during half time of the BYU-Oregon game, Bret, Speed, and I went to go get some pizza. I grabbed my wallet and before putting Speed into the car, I placed my wallet on the roof. This act was stupidly forgotten, as we drove away with it still up there. How could I do this... AGAIN!!!! (Literally only months ago, I did the SAME thing with running shoes before we went hiking!... they are forever gone)
I didn't realize my mistake until we got to the pizza place and I went to get my wallet to give Bret some cash. Though, obviously it was no where to be found. It was then that I remembered, oh my goodness, I had left it on the roof!
We went back to Bret's and I immediately left with Lexi to retrace our steps. But unfortunately, it was no where to be found. This put a huge dark cloud over me as EVERYTHING was in this thing! It had numerous credit cards, cash (which I actually never have!) my check book, my license, all my store cards, my recommend, insurance cards, and a bunch of receipts that I needed! And I loved the wallet itself! Oh boy!
To top it off BYU had a terrible (okay.... more like heart wrenching) 4th quarter and lost the game. Well we went home and while Lexi took a late afternoon nap, I made like 10 phone calls, cancelling all the cards and ordering new ones and honestly just when I finished....
Two guys on motorcycles pulled up outside our house. And seconds later, the doorbell rang. I was a bit hesitant as Jimmy wasn't home but I saw my lovely green wallet in the guy's hand through the peep hole!!!!!
Oh my goodness! I opened the door and there it was! In the hands of a bald, tattooed, leather wearing guy! And he said, "It's all there". I wish I would have had something to give him! I thanked him a hundred times and told him he was such a miracle. He really was. This is definite proof that there are still lots of good people out there who want to do the right thing.
He had come all the way to my house from 39th avenue because the only thing indicating how to reach me was my address on my license. What a great person. And honest! Everything was in there! Definitely made my whole week!
The world is still full of wonderful people and it makes me so happy and grateful.

I love it when things like this happen. There are more good people than we sometimes think. and those guys passed the test!
