Here goes the story....

So, as promised (because I know you are just dying to hear), here is my slightly-embarassing, yet very 'Emilee' story.
Ever locked your child inside the car in the BLAZING Arizona heat?? Check.
So, the other day, I decide to take Kamryn for a walk around the mall, run a few errands, and then stop by the grocery store on the way home. I get my groceries, walk out to the car, auto-start my car from the key remote, put Kam in the car, put the groceries in the back of the car, shut the door, walk around to get in and realize the car is ALL locked.....with my poor 5 month old baby inside, my keys, phone, purse, EVERYTHING just sitting on the front seat. (Okay, so you maybe be thinking well the AC is on.....not really....#1. on my way to the grocery store my gas light was on and I, being too lazy to stop, decided that I'd just stop after the grocery store. #2. I remember turning the AC almost completely off before I stopped because the car was getting too cold.) And I forgot to mention that it was at least 108 degree outside. I immediately start to panic because my husband is working AN HOUR away, our extra set of car keys are in our LOCKED apartment, and to top it all off I really have no idea where I am at. Knowing that my car is probably gonna turn off any minute and my little baby is gonna be roasting in the car I run inside the store and use the phone to call the police. They tell me the fire department is on the way. So, I run back outside and I'm really nervous at this point because I know she is super hot inside the car and it's gonna be a bit before they get there and even are even able to get inside the car. THE WORST PART OF ALL......(MAJOR EMPHASIS on that) is that I can see Kamryn inside just screaming and looking at me helplessly. If that doesn't break your heart, I don't know what will. I could tell she was sweating. I am super antsy and up until this point I'm trying to remain calm, but then I just break down in tears. This sweet little pregnant lady comes by my side and is trying to comfort me. She ends up staying with me until they got inside the car. Anyways, sooo of course, in people-fashion everyone is staring and watching because the fire department pulls up and FOUR men come to my rescue and some crazy lady is crying by her car?! It took them about 10 minutes to get the car open and sure enough the car died like right when they got there. When I got to Kamryn she was sweating and crying so bad, but she was fine. I have NEVER, EVER locked my keys in my car and the one time I do my BABY is in the CAR in a 108 degree DESERT? What the heck. The firemen were super sweet and if it had been any longer they were just gonna break the window. I didn't care what they did as long as Kamryn was okay.
I am a pretty calm person by nature, but that shook me up a bit. I was sooo nervous to go anywhere with her after that in fear of that happening again. I still refuse to go to that grocery store.....bad, bad memories!!!!!!!! Kamryn was so happy and playful five minutes later. NBD. I'm sure this has happened millions of times, but NEVER to me and NEVER in the scorching heat of AZ. So lesson to be learned=don't ever take your child anywhere. kidding. It almost hurts to even joke about it. ha! jk. But we are safe, we love AZ, been having a blast night swimming with friends, keeping busy with homework, and getting ready to VACATION like it's nobody's business this fall!!!! Pictures to come soon. Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. xoxo
