This past weekend was the last weekend that Kelly and I would have before she left for Houston. We had the whole weekend to ourselves. We thought we were going to have the weekend to relax, BUT little did we know that we were going to fight crime in Jacksonville!
About a month ago, Kelly's bike was stolen from her apartment's parking garage. Ever since, every time she sees someone cruising around on a bicycle, she looks to see if its hers. On Saturday night after laying out all day, we decided to walk to the Landing for dinner. We sat down at Benny's and we waited and waited and waited for someone to take our order. Well, finally our order was taken and we got done with dinner and we were walking back to the plaza. On our way, we were talking about how she was looking for her bike and how when she gets to Houston she was going to get a new one. Then we started talking about what she would do if she saw someone riding her bike. I mentioned how cool it would be to make a citizen's arrest (one of my goals ha). Lo and behold, this guy passes us riding a bike, and Kelly said, "Jayme, that's my bike!" I thought she was kidding but she defiantly wasn't.
We decided to run and follow him as he passed through the Landing. He ended up locking the bike up at a bike rack and leaving it there. Let me just mention, that Kel's bike is white with butterflies and flowers on it. We walk up to the bike, she sees that its indeed her bike, and I go and get a cop. The cop didn't understand the story, so I had to hurry him back to Kelly in case the dude decided to return and take the bike with him. Well the cop checks the serial number and finds out that it is hers and calls the crime scene people out to cut the lock off.
We didn't want to walk back to the plaza with the bike, because we had been standing by the bike with the cop for about an hour and we didn't want the guy to have seen us and then follow us. So, we called a few people who we thought would be close and no one was answering so we rode in a cop car with her bike back to the plaza.
What a weekend!!! This was the perfect weekend to just relax by the pool and that's exactly what we did! It will be very sad to say goodbye to one of my best friends, but I know that we will be visiting each other and we are still going to talk everyday like normal.
Tomorrow, I leave for the Nation's Capital. I absolutely love DC!! I will be working the majority of the time that I am up there, but I can't wait to see the sites!
I hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great day Monday (despite the rainy weather here in the Sunshine state!).
