A Series of Unfortunate Events

I've decided that I have the worst luck pretty much ever. Here, let me explain....

Kristen, Nichelle and I took a road trip to Vegas last weekend. It was SO fun, well except for the drive down. We decided to take my new car. We were having a grand ole time until we reached Fillmore. I look in my rear view mirror and see a cop with his lights on. I immediately look at my dashboard...I was going 10 under (It was raining and rather windy, I was being safe). I thought to myself, could he be pulling me over? I pull over to the side of the road and the cop walks up to the passenger side window and begins to ask me a series of questions. He asks for my license and registration. I hand them over to him. I might add that I was fuming. I was so angry. He comes back a few minutes later with a ticket for $107.00!!! I was extremely angry. Failure to slow down or move over for emergency vehicle....

About 20 miles previous I passed a cop on the side of the road with someone else pulled over. I did not change lanes. He chased me down, 20 miles down the road, to give me a ticket for a new law. I was not speeding. I did not have drugs. I was not drinking. But still the cop gives me a ticket. But wait the story gets better....

We had just gotten off the freeway, Nichelle was driving by this point. We were driving to Nichelle's Aunt's house, where we would be staying. I notice my car is making a horrible sound. It was still running fine, minus the noise, but my heart sank. We made it to her aunt's house all in one piece, including my car. And let me add that I had just gotten this car about three weeks prior. I immediately call my father so he can listen and ask him what to do. He tells me to turn off the car right away. He said it sounded pretty bad. And he wasn't sure what we were going to do. At this point, I was trying to stay calm. He told me to wait an hour, try starting it, and call him back. An hour passes, during which I'm very anxious. I go to start my car. It starts, but the awful noise is still there. I call my dad. He tells me that we can't drive it and that he will have to come get us. I lost it and started crying. First the ticket and now my new car. Luckily Nichelle's Aunt was nice enough to let us borrow her car. My parents borrowed a truck from my uncle, rented a car hauler, and came to pick us up at the end of our trip. We still aren't exactly sure what is wrong with my car. It's in the shop trying to get fixed.

This is why I've decided that I have the worst luck.

Pulled over-7 times. Towed-twice. Accidents-one. Broken down-twice. I can only imagine what comes next.

MILEY!!!!

For the fourth this year, I worked from 7 to 3, I love work, and then we had a BBQ at my house and then Heather, two of her friends, Kristen, Nichelle, Jeff, Brian, Michelle and I all went to the Stadium of Fire! It was SO fun!

Jeff, me, Kristen and Nichelle waiting for the show to start!

Jeff and I were SO excited for Miley to come out!

MILEY!!!

Fireworks!

All in all, it was a great fourth! We had a lot of fun! Including the traffic afterwards. Miley for life!
