Why, hello there officer... :/

So for my life I have this list, something I call a bucketlist, of things I would like to be able to do/accomplish before I finally get to meet my Lord. It includes multiple things, such as skydiving with friends Blakey Poo and Claudia!, traveling the world, creating a blog-completed, and just another one for kicks and giggles, breaking the law. This last one, I accomplished yesterday morning on my way to work. :/ Trust me, I didn't plan on checking this one off for a verrrryyyyy long time! An honestly I was thinking more along the lines of something like, not wearing my seat belt while driving when I wrote this particular one down on The Bucketlist.

Just so you are aware, I'm really only blogging about this because well, you all will eventually find out about this sooner or later, and I figured this was easier then telling some of my family in person. haha:)

Yesterday(Friday), I was supposed to be at work around 8:30. I was really supposed to be there at 6:50ish, but the night before(Thursday) we had a storm and the people I babysit for had gotten some major wind damage at their house. Since the mom was away for work, the dad just decided he work just go to work a little bit later Friday morning, that way he could stay up Thursday night and pick up/fix/clean some of the damage. I think, that if the storm hadn't of happened I probably wouldn't have stopped. justsaying. :) But, that was why I didn't have to be there that early.

Already running late because I hadn't been paying attention to the time while getting ready, I knew that I would be a little late. Well, I was a lot later than I thought I would be. I had my cruise set at 70, on what I thought was a 65 mph road on my way there. Guess What! Turns out though the speed limit is not 65 mph, but actually only 55mph. :/ Yeah, didn't know that. Hhhh.

For your info, I am really a cautious driver, I've always disliked driving by police cars, having one pass by me, or anything like that. So you can only imagine how nervous I was when I stopped and realized, oh crud, I don't have my license with me. :/ Oh, it gets better. He told me his name, asked me my hurry, told me why he stopped me, blah,blah,blah. Then asked for my license and insurance card, which then I explained my little situation and then got the card. Guess What! that wasn't the current card. :/ Then, I have to tell him all this info because I don't have anything with me, all while on the inside I'm flipping out.

While he is in his car, doing whatever he does, filling out my ticket:( , I first inform Nathan that I'm going to be a little bit later than planned, then text my mom and let her know what happened. Not the best feeling in the world, let me tell you.

I ended up at work around, 8:45?, talk about not on time. After finishing telling mom all about this and answering all her questions, she just said that these things happen and wasn't upset, thank goodness. I then went on to tell my dad about the ticket and do you want to know his response?

"Well, now you have something to blog about."-My dad. :) ha.

So there you have it, my first speeding ticket. :( My first time breaking the law. Another item with a big ole X next to it on my list. Since 'breaking the law' is now checked off, I plan on paying for the dumb thing and trying never to do it again.... Or at least not get caught doing it. ;)
