it's a miracle!

I love Cops
Ok not all cops, but today I was leaving my gma's apartment, I called Jarrod to excitedly tell him some good news (remind me to mention that later) and I pull to a 4 way stop and see a cop which triggers my memory of not yet putting on my seatbelt. I jerk it on, and of course he saw me and pulled me over. He says I am pulling you over for no seatbelt, I said yes I know I just left my grandma's apartment and I was just then getting it on. He went back to the car forever with my license and insurance. I was about to start balling but I thought how embarrassing to cry in front of a stranger, plus why cry...... it is just money. Why cry over money. "Money comes easily and frequently" ($5 if you can quote where that is from). So he comes back with the pad of paper for me to sign and says "It is just a warning". I said ARE YOU SERIOUS! He was caught off guard but totally stoic young cop faced. I know underneath that look he felt good about my reaction. I am sure cops are asses just way too much and it just HAS to feel good once in a while to make someone's day BETTER instead of worse. I told him that I hope he had a really great day today. I have had an amazing day. The whole time I was cleaning "C"s house after I got pulled over I was just happy as could be that "I DIDN'T GET A TICKET TODAY". And back to the good news I got this morning......my parents are letting us use their vehicle to go to Kansas City soon and even paying for gas. YIPPEEEEEEEE so now we can be on our own schedule and work it around Jarrod's work and have a car to drive while we are there. I can't wait to see Gold. It has been over a year.......... plus the chunk of other people whom I love out there... u know who u are!!!!!!! XOXO see u sooooooon

My grandma is turning 80 on Sunday and my mom is throwing a party for her. We sent out 150 invites and so far 85 are coming. In the invites we asked people to send in a memory of my grandma to me or my mom for a scrapbook. We had no idea what it would become. It is the largest scrapbook I have ever seen. It is about 100 pages of notes, cards, poems, pictures and letters saying thank you or I love you or you impacted my life in this way or that. It is just so inspirational to see. I keep thinking how I would love to have a book of letters from everyone I have known. I mean all of these people love my grandma enough to stop and write something. I can't wait for her to get it tomorrow.
