Salute to cops

Salute to cops

So I was driving home from Home Depot. Not more than 15 min from my house (without traffic). I exit the parking lot, turn right. roll through a stop sign, turn left, and the red and blue lights start flashing. I pulled over, roll my window down and admit I know why he pulled me over. He gave me my ticket said info would be coming in the mail within the next few months and then drove away. So I continued my drive home with feelings of anger, guilt, frustration. I'm over it now, driving school and money will erase the experience, but I would hate to have that job. Giving traffic tickets to people, setting traps to ruin peoples days. I would be unhappy doing that job although the service police men perform is very important and needed in our society. So Thanks to all those who are willing to do something I would hate but am glad someones willing to do it.

PS. Originally I wrote, "Solute" to cops, which I think would have a different meaning

PSs. and a salute to my awesome husband James who called me and cheered me up
after I texted him about the unfortunate event

What's up




Not to much for events happening in the Evans fam. Presidents Day was supposed to be a trip to James's Grandpa Cherry in Oregon, but half way into the trip and purchasing snow chains, the road (I-5) was closed. The result was a holiday at home. We had fun anyways. We slept in and spent time designing our kitchen and eliminating what we want for appliances from the overwhelming options. Just last night Emerson committed his efforts to end his tummy time and roll over. It was such an exciting thing, but now almost moments after I put him on his tummy, he's on his back again. I finally decided on a stroller. The BOB Revolution was on sale and I finally broke down and bought it. Right after I left the store I stopped at the "Bay Trail" that runs along the I-80 and the San Francisco Bay. The sun was setting and I was running with Emerson in his new stroller, it was beautiful and the stroller glides so smooth I feel like it is pulling me along. So this is my updated random report.
