Police Officers and Tabs


As a couple Eric and I have not had the best of luck with Police Officers or Tabs for that matter. Most of you out there see this as our fault, which we accept it as. If we weren't speeding or more responsible we would not find ourselves in such situations as follow...
First, one of us in in the midst of a 6 month probation for speeding, in which a previous ticket will not be placed on one of our records as long as one of us doesn't receive a ticket for 6 months. One of us is 4 months into her/his 6 months.
On Sunday one of us was pulled over for going through a late yellow light (that is what we will call it, because it was still yellow, but one of us should have stopped). Upon getting pulled over we also realized our Tabs were one month expired and the kicker...our insurance had expired the day before (we were currently insured, our proof of insurance was safe on our counter at home).
WE WERE DEAD!!
Luckily the Lord really loves one of us and we have been blessed with two cute girls who happened to warm the heart of one police officer, and we were on our way home from church so they looked exceptionally cute.
WE WERE SAVED!!
The wonderful Police Officer only gave us a warning! for all three violations!! We are talking close to $1000 in savings.
One of us almost convinced the other one of us to let one of us use some of the saving at Old Navy but one of us said no.
Thank you Thank you Thank you...to the Police of Spokane, to one of us, and to Heavenly Father!
Lastly, all of our violations are now set in order.

That cracks me up. I have a secret plan to avoid getting a ticket if I get pulled over. Provoke Emma into a tantrum. How could anyone blame me for speeding with her wailing in an enclosed space? ;)
