Our Easter Adventures Take an Interesting Turn...

So today after church we did the Easter baskets, made some rolls, took a short nap and then headed to Aunt Jeny's. We had a yummy dinner with them followed by an interesting movie. "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? I think that's what it was called. Anyway, I lacked in taking pictures. Sorry.

This is where the story gets twisted. We are having a wonderful Easter, the whole day has been beautiful! On our way home.... we get pulled over. Not a big deal, one of our headlights was out. Easy, no problem, get it fixed and we're good to go. Not as easy as it sounds. After a while waiting of waiting for the cop to come back to our car and tell us to get it fixed and go home.... he comes back and says something different.

"Mr. Blair, can I talk to you out side for a minute?"

Aaron politely responds, "Yes."

I see them escort him to the side walk and then behind the police car. At this point they disappear to me because of the blinding police lights.

After waiting and praying for everything to be ok, I see in my side mirror.... Aaron..... in handcuffs.

At this point my mind goes WILD!
I just kept thinking "What in the WORLD could this be about?"

I had no clue, and after more waiting, the cop comes to my side of the car. He proceeds to tell me that Aaron is being arrested due to a ticket that was not taken care of.

Again in my mind I was searching my memory for the ticket this guy could be talking about. I couldn't think of it. I even asked him when the ticket was. All he said was 2008. Didn't really narrow it down for me at all but whatever. I'm ticked that Aaron forgot about ANOTHER ticket! While this is the first time he's been arrested for his ticket, it's not the first time that there's been a warrant out for his arrest. Anyway...

The police officer was incredibly polite and nice, which I am so grateful for because it could have been far far worse. Anyway, he tells me what I have to do in order to get him out etc. He also (only in Utah and I love it) tells me how it really isn't a big deal, it doesn't mean he's a bad guy. He has arrested bishops for the same thing. His sister was arrested for the same thing. It happens all the time and not to worry. Which again, I am really happy they were nice about the whole deal.

So Aaron was taken to County. Awesome. More awesome was that we had to post bail to get him out which was money we just didn't have lying around. So I called our Bishop. I'm currently sitting here waiting for him to get home. It was really weird when Aaron called me too because I answered the phone and hear an operator say, "Press 5 to accept a phone call from Aaron Blair, and inmate at UT County Jail." So weird.

They had to book him and all of that but luckily he doesn't have to sit in a cell. And he'll be home soon. I'll have him post his side of the story tomorrow.

So looking at the positive I am so grateful like I said earlier that the cops were nice guys, our Bishop is amazing and we are so blessed to have such a wonderful bishop. When I called him I just kept apologizing because not only am I asking a lot of him, but it's also midnight. He just kept telling me to stop stressing (like that's possible) stuff happens and it will be quite the adventure to look back on.

This wasn't the final Easter post I was planning. I was going to post a video of Kade searching for eggs and going through his basket. I will still post it, just not tonight.

Stay tuned for Arrested part II, and Easter part III and please don't miss the posts below.
