Rylee...

These are the pics Rylee took last night before she went MIA.  When I went to check on her in the middle of the night to make sure she made it home safe, she wasn't on Snapchat.  Kept checking while I was at the school working, but she still wasn't on SnapMap, which is not normal for her.  I also tried texting and calling, but no answer. I'm tearing up while serving lunch and Betsy says if I need to go, I can, but I'm not sure if I need to cause we've been through this stuff before with Rylee and never know if we should freak out yet or not, so I finished serving and cleaning up before I left.  Called her work, but her boss said she hadn't showed up yet and had a client waiting for her.  She had also tried to call her to no avail.  Now I'm really worried, so I call Dave and tell him and also Kaitlyn and Josh to get them out looking for her on their lunch breaks.  I get off work a half hour early at 12:30 and decide to head to Billings as soon as Kyra gets home from school.  We were actually going to go up this afternoon anyway to pick out a prom dress, so I still wanted her to go with me in case this turned out to be nothing.  At this point, I am fairly certain something is wrong but I still want her to go with me cause I don't want to be alone.  Dave is coming home from work but is taking too long.  Jaxon is home with his friend Zack, so I left them there to hang out.  Me and Kyra are both in tears at this point and I have to speed to get to Billings cause I'm so worked up.  On the way there, Kyra tries messaging Rylee's roommate Becca, since neither of us have her number.  In the meantime, Kaitlyn and Josh have driven to Rylee's work and apartment to look for her car and have called the jail, hospitals, cops, and finally got hold of the apartment manager who said he had let Rylee into her apartment that morning around 8:00.  On the way there, Rylee texted Kyra off Becca's phone to let us know she was ok.  Apparently, she had lost her phone the night before and ended up leaving her car and apartment keys in Becca's car when she left for work.  Rylee realized that a little late and tried to chase Becca down the street to flag her down before she left, but she didn't see her.  When Rylee went back to the door, she realized she didn't have her keys and couldn't get back in.  This is why no one could reach her and she wasn't at work.  Phew!!! I definitely thought the worst and I am thankful everything worked out ok.  Dave was able to go back to work and me and Kyra were able to go prom dress shopping after all.  Met up with Rylee later for lunch.  She found that her phone had ended up with a guy she had been talking to last night and was able to get it back.  Ended up being a good day!!!
