TRUE STORY!

So it started out as any other Saturday. After breakfast and cleaning up the house. We loaded the strollers to take the boys on a ride so that Nate and I could go for a run. We decided we would run through Snow Canyon Park. On our way we stopped at the Wells Fargo bank at Albertsons on bluff. Nate had just finished doing an employee's taxes and was getting the money from the bank. I waited out in the car with the boys while he ran in. After what seemed like a very long time to make a quick withdrawal I see a police officer come squealing into the parking lot and then take up like 5 spots. I of course was judging and being very irritated until he jumped out of his car carrying an assault riffle and ran into the store. My heart sank and I started to panic. Nate's employee was parked just across from me. She got out of her car and the officer said "lock your door and windows and stay inside!" She ran over and got in the car with us and I began to cry. I could not believe of all the banks and all the days someone wood rob the bank that Nate was in. I have never heard, or of course seen on t.v. any bank robbery that ended well! I prayed just as hard as I could that Nate would be protected. After what seemed like an eternity, but prob. about 10min. The whole store was surrounded and know one was aloud in or out of the store! Melissa, Nate's employee, got out of the car and went up to one of the officers to see if everything was alright! he said " yes we have the guy, we are just getting statements." Well of course the guy ended up standing right next to Nate at the next window. he said he heard him say something about "jail" and hand the teller a note. When her face went white and fear came into her eyes he started putting the pieces together! He tried to keep things light and remain calm. The guy then said to the teller " I will just wait over here". and sat down in a chair ? The note continued to be passed to other tellers and now Nate was the only one standing there, so the other tellers thought HE was trying to rob the bank! :) The confusion was cleared and they finished his transaction. He left and found another gentleman to stand and watch the guy until the cops came, just in case. It turns out he was wanting to go to jail. He had no weapons and didn't put up a fight. The note said " I need $500 call the cops and I will just wait over here till they come." :/ The FBI are still looking into it. I am SOOO grateful that things turned out the way that they did and Nate was kept safe! It definitely makes you look at the big picture a little different! I am so grateful for my family, especially Nate! :)
