Two years ago David and I went to Disneyland with Kris and Chevy for my birthday ... we had a blast ... it was utterly fantastic ... until our last 10 minutes in the park ... the boys got ancy and were ready to go ... so they went to get our jackets out of the locker while Kris and I did one last run through The Emporium ... less than 15 minutes later Kris and I exited the park and found Chevy ... for the next hour and a half we looked for David ... walked all over the entrance to the park ... even went back in to see if he was shopping ... he was no where to be found ... we wondered if maybe he was at the car but really ... who takes the tram out to a car that they don't have keys for at an amusement park ... alone ...


but we were cold and tired and after walking so much my ankle was as big as a baseball so Kris and Chevy decided to go to the car and I would stay at the front in case he came out ... as they started to walk to the tram they saw him get off ... I couldn't believe it ... he went to the car and was standing there for an hour ... I tried not to be mad ... it has turned into a pretty funny story ... and it makes the 4 of us laugh whenever we talk about it ...


this morning while on the train we realize I don't have my car keys and David doesn't have his cell phone ... I'm always the first back to the station and I go to the car and sit with the heat on ... but since I didn't have keys and him without a phone I said "lets meet in front of the station and go to the car together ... it should be a bit warmer up here [it is an outside station] besides we will have no idea if one of us is at the car already since we can't call each other" ... he said "OK" so I thought he heard me ...


it was at this point in telling Kris the story that she said "Did he pull a Disneyland?" ...


he did ... he pulled a Disneyland ... and not just that ... he moved the car closer to the station ... but I patiently and frigidly waited in front of the station like we had planned for 2 hours ... in 27 degree weather ... 2 hours ... 2 ... it was unreal ... I was crying at one point I was so cold ... I lost feeling in my fingers even though I wore gloves ... a part of me was worried about David ... he is never that late ... I just didn't know what to do ...


when I was actually at my wits end ... where I was so cold my body was just shaking and I could feel pin pricks in my legs I hear a honk ... see a car that looks like ours ... and someone waving to "come here" ... it was David ...


I immediately filled with rage ... but it was so painful to walk to the car that it all subsided ...


he had been in the car the whole time ... with the heat pumping ... he got in before me ... and thought the plan was to meet at the car ... after we had both calmed down [he was filled with worry that something had happened to me] ... and he apologized profusely for not paying attention when I was talking this morning ... I said ...


its alright ... it is just Disneyland all over again ...
