I just want to add that no words can describe how much we did NOT fit in at the D.C. traffic office. From how the guards looked at us, you would think that there hadn’t been a young white husband and pregnant wife with their toddler in that building for years. I went along as a witness that there was no ticket on the car. It felt like being sent to the principle’s office!
…It didn’t have all these people who interfere with the divine workings of the government!
Every time I have needed to interact with any government employee (not elected) I have always been treated as a pathetic trouble maker who had been granted an undeserved pardon from a condescending lord.
I am glad you “fought the system” and “beat the rap” and “got off scott free”!
We are in a ticket battle of our own!

I say Cory is guilty, he’s denies. What do you guys think?
Congrats on the baby girl, girls are the best. I just wish you and Suzy were closer so someone could benefit from my hand-me-downs.
Best wishes,
Rachel
Once I got a $100 ticket for parking in one of the 25 unused handicapped spaces at work when I was 8 months pregnant with Tyler. It was February and the whole lot was covered in an inch of ice. To add insult to injury, the officer tacked on an additional $25 for not displaying my front license plate (which had fallen off the previous week and was sitting in the front passenger seat.) Apparently the receptionist saw the cop comming and paged me but I was in the bathroom (remember – 8 months pregnant.) I was totally in the wrong but it didn’t seem fair anyway. So Jared and I went down to the Salt Lake City courthouse to see if we could get the fee reduced, and if not then to just pay it. We walked into this super old timey bank looking office with a window that had bars on it and handed the tickets to the clerk – I had my speech all prepared. He looked at the tickets and I started to say “You know, I got this ticket…” when he looked directly at my huge stomach and said, “How about just $25 for the whole thing?” Just like you I was glad to not have to pay but I really wanted to tell my story!
No kidding!!! Try being the lowly wife of a guy in the Air Force. Everyone treats me like I’m trying to ruin their day just by breathing.
