Busted

So I finally paid for my habit of driving a little too fast whether I am late or not. This time I was actually late for a home visit and went through a school zone at 26 MPH. The cop immediately pulled me over and promptly handed me a ticket. You have to know that despite my need for speed I have only ever been caught once before and that was four years ago in Price Canyon. This time however it required a court appearance. In Orem it is mandatory court time if you speed in a school zone. I recieved the ticket in October and my court date finally arrived today. I was so nervous about it I didn't sleep at all last night and I had to use the bathroom several times before my nine o'clock appointment. Justin just laughed at me the whole time and then said maybe you have learned your lesson. The judge called my name and I went to the microphone where I promptly asked for traffic school and that was that. I made a huge deal out of today but maybe I have learned my lesson. I drive through a lot of school zones throughout the day and I have definately slowed down.

Two kids at the zoo





Even though I have lived in Utah most my life I realized that I have not experienced a lot of what there is to do in Utah. Justin and I also decided that we need to spend more time together on Saturday's and not doing chores all day. This Saturday we started off the trend with a trip to the Hogle Zoo. I have not been to the Zoo since I was in Kindergarten. We arrived at the zoo early and the animals were out and ready to be seen. My favorite was the tiger. He was very active both swimming in his pool and walking around the pen. When he left the pool he shook the water off and it landed all over Justin. The baby orangutan was also very cute doing several tumbling acts. If you have any suggestions of favorite Utah spots for us to visit let us know.
