Just one more reason to be on time!

Ok so this morning was super crazy! We were scheduled to present for Blackman's FCA and Kelly was running a little late, well more like 15 minutes late( she overslept). So I call her to wake her up and she's like, "Oh my gosh! I overslept!". We're on our way to Blackman trying to get in touch with people to let them know we'll be late, but no one picks up (answer your phones people!). We decide in the car that we wont present we'll just pass out the posters and cards and encourage them to come to our events. As we pull up to Blackman we can't really find a parking spot so we end up parking like in some deserted lot behind the gym. We run, literally run across the parking lot into the school and realize that, 1. We didn't really sign in, so yeah we broke in and out of Blackman, and 2. We don't know where the heck FCA is even meeting! Quickly Kelly asks an awesome student who seemed just ecstatic to be at school that morning where they met and thankfully it was just straight ahead. We dash into the room and right into their closing prayer! We both hit our breaks and took the moment to catch our breaths. We apologized and kind of stood there looking like idiots, thankfully Kalen Johnson snapped some sense into us and told us we could still pass out the rave cards. No one seemed too mad at us and Kalen( aka Super Kalen!) had already explained to them what we were doing w/the run/walk and the food drive. So, that's how we broke into Blackman, busted in on FCA's prayer and cut a few people off in traffic, all before 8:30 in the morning! It's all for FEED people; all for FEED!
