Suzy had borrowed Amy's veil for her wedding in June (and looked smashing with it on), and last week I went to pick it up. The veil was inside one of those thin, plastic, dress bags that usually hold dresses (duh!), but today the bag was my enemy. I was driving home on the highway, going about 55mph, with my front two windows down and I hear the bag rustling in the back seat. Just as I decide to roll up the windows because something could fly out, that stupid plastic bag flys out the window. awesome.
So obviously I had to go back and look for it. The journey begins. I guessed on where the bag may have landed and searched everywhere on the south side of the Weber river. Everywhere! I probably looked like a crazy lady to people driving by, but what's so crazy about walking through weeds and sifting through garbage? jk. Towards the end of my search I'm talking to myself and can't do anything but mutter, "why isn't it stuck on the fence!" There was a fence next to the highway and everyone knows that every bag that blows around will eventually get stuck on a fence. Like so.....
Well, the bag was not stuck on the fence! I was losing my mind. My mom told me to search on the other side of the river and as I'm turning around to get there I am trying to figure out why this is happening. I'm pretty strong in believing everything happens for a reason, but what could possibly be the reason for losing a wedding veil?! There is no lesson I could learn from this. It's not like I was irresponsible and didn't make the plastic bag wear a seat belt!
I start looking on the north side of the river, which looks like a plastic bag graveyard, and as I'm about to scream to the sky, "WHY?!" I see the bag. That stupid plastic bag...
So there you have it. Still have no clue why it happened. Maybe sometimes there is no reason for things happening in our lives...either way, I'm not letting a plastic bag make me search my soul for unknown answers...I will however, let it lead me to find this...
looks like something off a Project Runway challenge.
Kind of cool.
That is all.

it was probably to teach me a lesson. i told suzy to be careful with it because i wanted to "keep it forever" well, when mom called to tell me you lost it, i didn't freak out but thought, "shouldn't have wanted to keep it forever." i am a bit materialistic when it comes to certain things so now i know it's something i should work on. p.s. i still want it back
too bad. I lost it again....jk. you got it.
This happened to me on friday..... with twenties. I went to the bank to pull out some cash, set on the passenger seat and drove off into traffic (with my front windows down). And my twenties went flying. I panicked, rolled my windows up, and found all but one twenty. I thought I lost it, but when I got home it was hiding underneath my Black Eyed Peas CD case... phew!
Aimee! Black Eyed Peas always save the day. that was your lesson. maybe.
Ooh, that was a surprise ending. I totally thought you were going to say that after all that searching you realized it was a different bag that blown out the window and the veil was there in your car the entire time. Glad you found it!
Oh, what a pain! At least you found it again.
