As you can see I'm lookin hot and blurry in my apron while putting the dishes away. Here's a little story for you: Bennett and Katie were outside the whole of a January Saturday taking "fake" bridal pictures because Katie wanted to. (I've already discussed in previous blogs how weird I am so see those to verify.) Anyway, Bennett and Katie ended up at Memorial Grove and were taking the last set of pictures by the river when Bennett turned away from the camera tripod for one second and quick as a hog on fire it falls in the river. They both began screaming at this point (me more so than Bennett). Bennett jumped into the river and grabed the camera, took out the batteries and jumped back up on shore. Bennett was really cold now because he didn't plan on getting into a frozen river of camera distroying water. They decided to call it quits for the day and drive home. While driving home Katie and Bennett said a small prayer saying that it didn't matter in the eternal scheme of things if the camera and pictures survived but it did matter to them and asked if the camera could be okay (this camera is Bennett's baby! He loves it! He could spend a whole week doing nothing but taking pictures and he has). They both felt embarrassed for asking but did so anyway. When they got home they tried the memory card in a card reader and wha-la! It worked! All the pictures they took that day were in perfect condition. They let the camera dry out during the night and the next day Bennett took this picture of Katie doing the dishes. The camera turned on and took a picture but sadly it wouldn't focus. They decided to let it rest for another day and miracles of miracles it worked perfectly! It does all the things it did before and as far as they could tell it isn't damaged because of falling into a frozen, raging river. They did have to amputate Bennett's toes though.
This just goes to show that:
1. You should never leave your expensive camera by a river unattended.
2. If you plan on doing the aforementioned #1 bring an extra pair of pants and shoes in case of river jumping.
3. God does answer prayers. Even one's we don't think really matter in the eternal scheme of things.
