Where's Beth!?!?!?!?!

Living in Fort Wayne has been great for the last 15 years but... I don't have family close at all. That being the case, I have adopted and been adopted by many friends whom I now consider family.

One of my favorite families is, what I would like to name, the First Family. The Baker family. This family has been such a wonderful blessing in my life. They have mostly moved on in the last years but I get to see them every once in a while. These moments are moments that I cherish .... and often find myself in side-splitting laughter. The 'Baker boys' were wee little ones (Literally! They were babies) when I first joined their family as a babysitter and now these boys are all shooting up like weeds...but much better looking!!! :) They have grown into amazing young men of God and I hope that my sweet nephews are even half of the cool that they are!!!

I have the best stories about these boys but nothing compares to the stories these boys tell. Today, while they were hangin' out with their awesome Aunt Bec, they had one of the funniest, weirdest, most amazing stories ever.

Here's the short of the story in bulleted form (as best I can remember):

* Bec and the boys head to the Friendly Fox for some breakfast.

* Black speedy dog darts out.

* Bakers chase dog for over 3 hours.....yes 3 hours... maybe it was more.

* realize that I saw (and briefly chased) same dog earlier that morning before work

* Meet new friends for life, Jamie & Dave -- who all become partners in crime/dogcatching

* kept chasing dog

* dog bites Jamie

* kept chasing dog

* Jamie hops in car and stranger (named Beth) also hops in car with Bakers to search for dog

* kept chasing dog

* call animal control and animal control and they say STOP chasing it

* went to the Fox for lunch

* animal control drives by

* dog walks by

* Bakers decide to continue to chase dog

* call Jamie & Dave (not Beth... not sure where she went, actually-- Bec left her in the dust)

* gain dog's trust because Dave stayed in car

* call owner

* happy ending.

I wish I could tell you the way they do. They are word masters and are soooo funny when they dish it up. I love them and miss them a lot. I bet Beth misses them too.

Thanks for letting me share Bloggerfriends!

Have a great night!
