What a Sabbath day!!

While combing my hair, Jacob yelled out that he was taking the lead to the car with sonny,i followed later on making sure the doors was properly closed. As i reached the car he asked me if i had my car/house keys since I'm always carrying mine . Somehow today i changed bags and didn't really bother with my keys knowing that Jacob was going to use his ..Unfortunately he had forgotten his keys and there we were, standing in shock. With the help of our spare hidden car key ,we knew there was a way to get to church but the question was,How were we going to get back into the house?.So our minds read the same thing...we'll just call our landlord once church finished.So we had 20 minutes to get to church. We set forth on our journey and to our surprise, they were detouring all traffic that were heading the same direction we were. Oh goodness...time was catching up...we got detoured into this one road we had never been to. We kept following cars that was in-front of us and somehow we made it to our destination. As a result we were 30 minutes late. Had church and on our way back ,we decided to call the landlord.With dismay no one was picking up .We made several attempts and still there was no luck. We came to realise that germans love their weekends and they are always out doing something.So we reached home and i suggested that we check with our apartment neighbors if we could try their key, since we all used the same key for our storage room and that was the same key used for the maindoors.We knew it wouldn't work out but we just wanted to give it a try.Again unfortunately no one was at home.So we sat outside for 5 minutes and i suggested that Jacob climbed up to our house.And yes we live in a double story apartment and it was no way anyone could ever climb upstairs.Somehow i knew Jacob could do it..i had so much faith in my husband...but the thought of him falling down scared me to death. As he was getting ready he asked whether the doors were open..i replied I'm not really sure..just give it a try. In the back of my mind i was thinking...maybe i didn't really close the doors properly.Anyway..he started climbing up and trust me my heart was pounding and i never said a word until he was completely up there.There were times when he nearly fell ...i jumped from my seat very quietly. While reaching up..he went straight for the doors,pushing the first one and the second one..no luck.He was like..see baby i told u it was close..again..i still had hope..so i said...try the windows..he pushed the first one ..no luck and the second one...too...i told him..push harder..then bammm...the window opened.....wohoooooo!!He was able to open the door with the help of the window.We were saved by the bell.I'm glad we took the battle of getting into the house.Otherwise we would have been stuck outside..who knows when will we ever get inside.Jacob had a slight cut on his hand while pulling himself up to get hold of the railings.Poor thing went out of his way to get us in.What a trooper.As a result of all this,we are so glad that we were able to make it to church and not sit back outside our house and wait for our landlord to finally pick up his phone.
