Our Red Hot Valentine Night

Mike and I shared a memorable and very romantic evening this past Valentine night.

...We broke into our car.

Our car that was parked in our garage believe it or not.

Yep, forget cuddling on the couch, we kicked it up a notch with wire hangers, keys, golf clubs, and freezing weather.

(Notice our ridiculous tools of choice)

And you know what, it became one of the funnest nights we have shared in a long time.

I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Just the thought of what we must have looked like was hilarious. We made a good team despite our car hacking skills lacking a little finesse. It only took us 1 1/2 hours to get into the car, and when the car door opened we both couldn't believe it had really worked. Yes, this experience inspired us to get a second car key made, after a year of only having one. (We know this should have been on the top of the to-do list months ago, but blast it's an electronic key and there were only a gazillion other things to do with the $$, please say you understand how that goes). Anyway, thank goodness this happened in our garage and not in Walmart's parking lot. It wouldn't have been so much fun, had the police hauled us off to jail.

And bless a certain child's heart, who after retrieving something for me out of the trunk earlier that day happened to lock all the car doors, before shutting the keys in the trunk. Sometimes, the initially horrific moments of parenting become some of the best. At any rate, this Valentine date will be one of the most memorable.
