Paperwork continued

We did get some things done this week.  We got everything we needed to send in our passport applications.  I think the lady at the County Clerk’s office was disappointed that we had everything and she didn’t get to tell us we had to come back.  I’m really not kidding.  That was not a good experience.  Why can't people just be nice?  We hoped to get our fingerprints done so that we can get our State Police Clearance but after driving 3 different places with different people telling us different things each time, we made an appointment for next Monday.  I also went downtown and got copies of our marriage license which was a really easy process.  We finished our paperwork for the Home Study and we have our home visit scheduled for tomorrow  evening.  On the paperwork it asked if we had ever been arrested.  Of course I checked no but Jody had to check yes!  He was arrested about 10 years ago.  He got a speeding ticket – no big deal, he’s had quite a few.  He didn’t realize that in Live Oak, TX  you only have a couple of weeks until your court date.  So he missed the court date and a warrant went out for his arrest.  THE SAME DAY the warrant went out he got pulled over in the THE SAME CITY (a city that you only drive through for about 2 miles on your way to San Antonio) for not wearing his seat belt.  They arrested him and I had to go and bail him out of jail.  Humiliating! He had just started his new job and they impounded his company car.  It’s funny now but it wasn’t funny that day.  I cried and we both worried that he would get fired.  He didn’t and now its just a funny memory.  Hopefully the social worker who does our Home Study will also think it’s funny!
