Scary!

Yesterday afternoon I received a call from my sister who lives in Salt Lake.
"Is Jake okay?" she said in a tone of panic.

I said, "What are you talking about?"

I had no idea since I was watching the Food Network at the time of course. (You know, Emma was awake!)

Then I heard the big news,

"Provo High is being evacuated."

I immediately got off the phone and turned on KSL. I only caught the tailend of the news brief that said that PHS was being evacuated because of a bomb threat. Students were on the football field and parents are not to come pick up their children.

What!?!

I immediately called Lee and then tried to call around to get some more information. I obviously couldn't get through to the school and I couldn't get through to the district either. I called our elementary school and talked to one of the secretaries whose daughter attends PHS. She said that the kids who didn't have cars were being loaded on buses and being taken to a field at BYU but that everyone was safe.

What? Which field?

Where is my son dangit!

I called the police also and they assured me that everyone was safe and that buses were bringing the kids home. I then got a call from Lee saying that a man in our ward, who is a BYU policeman, was bringing Jake home and all is well.

I can't tell you how scared I was not knowing what was going on. I am so thankful everyone is safe and sound. I just hope they catch this idiot who thought it would be funny to scare the crap out of everyone. I know some weren't scared too badly but It's just not funny! I also wish the news would have provided some updates as to what was going on that way I would have known.

It was pretty scary.
