So blessed

So tonight a miracle happened to us. Matt had a dinner for new PWC interns, so we were driving to the location when all the sudden we see flashing lights in our rearview mirror. I knew I wasn't breaking any laws or speeding,but then I quickly remembered our tags are expired on our license plate! We were just passing by the front of the Wilk,so I kept driving then turned into the parking lot to get off the road and out the way of other cars. Before the cop even got to our car window, I started crying. He came up and asked if I knew what to do when there is an emergency vehicle behind you, I said you pull off to the right. He then asked if I had done that, I explained that I thought you moved off the road,so you weren't in the way of traffic, he interrupted me and again asked if I had done that and I just said no. He went on to explain that you always pull over and that its a state law. He then said I pulled you over because your tags are expired, I explained that we renewed them,but that we haven't received the new ones yet. He asked if we had our temporary one with us and we didn't,because we had just recently taken all of our car information out to try to find our tags and finish the inspection process. He then asked to see our registration and my license and I didn't have either of those,because I thought Matt was gonna drive or that my license was in the car. I'm really crying at this point,because I feel so horrible and I know he isn't just gonna take our word. He takes down some information then leaves. After a few minutes he comes up and he said that it does show that we have current tags and that my license is valid. He then goes on to say that he could give me a ticket for having expired tags, driving without a license,and not pulling over right away. But  he says I'm not going to give you any of those,because I only pulled you over for expired tags and they aren't expired. We thanked him for his kindness and Matt got in the driver's seat.

I'm thankful that we didn't get a ticket and that we did renew our license. I'm VERY thankful for the kindness this cop showed to us and that we were able to enjoy the rest of our evening together.

P.S. We had a thanksgiving feast for the PWC dinner. Best mashed potatoes,stuffing,and byu icecream.
P.P.S Sorry this was so long.
