The Great 12th Anniversary Lockout…

07.02.2015 by Elizabeth // Leave a Comment

Hank didn’t even realize we were locked outside for 2 hours, he was happy to enjoy his nap!

Sunday was our 12th wedding anniversary. We had a great weekend and amazing dinner out on Saturday night. Sunday afternoon my husband and I were sitting outside and enjoying the weather and talking about all the yard work we’ve been doing. I went inside to get my phone, and decided I’d run DJ Roomba while we were all outside. About a half hour later I went to open the door to go run some errands and our damn roomba had pushed the wooden stick back into the well and locked us out of our house! AWESOME.

After checking all available windows and doors, we called a locksmith. A guy showed up about an hour later and after a few minutes we got in the house. And then we purchased the most romantic anniversary gift, a keyless lock pad for the back door. Because evidently 12 years is a key…

But here’s the deal, it’s okay to screw up sometimes, it reminds you that you need to check your systems and maybe put new systems in place. I screwed up on a newsletter for a client last week. And now I know I need to check that one piece before I hit schedule on EVERY newsletter I manage from now on.

Sometimes an accident can lead to some good new lessons learned. And sometimes you’re grateful when your brother and his wife show up so you can run to the grocery store to go to the bathroom…
