March 6th 2019. My husbands 28th birthday! We had joked all day about how I’m married to a “older man” (im 24.) we made dinner plans and had our evening set in stone. Once all of my daycare kids left we warmed up our car and headed to our favorite Mexican restaurant in town. After we ate and cleaned up the kids. We headed to our local store. I needed milk, toilet paper and bread.

Now in small towns it’s not uncommon to walk around the store for a hour or so to blow time. This is our favorite thing to do. Walk around see what’s new in the store. Enjoy each other’s company ! I bet you can’t guess my favorite isle! Ha coffee cups! 😍 As we turned into the isle excitement hit me! A single French press sitting on the shelf for $20! 8cups of glass and stainless steel! I had been wanting to buy a French press so I could retire my sad little coffee pot and be done with coffee pods. But like most mothers I put off buying one. NOW I have my very own French press coffee makers ❤️.

As we headed for checkout I imagined the wonderful taste of coffee the next morning. How smooth and creamy my coffee was going to be. I felt like a little kid alll because I finally got my French press.

We paid, loaded up in the car. Decided against ice cream because we were still full. Pulled into our driveway. Unloaded the car. Put the kids into their pj’s and started to settle down for the evening. When all of a sudden a loud “ding dong” at the door.

It’s not uncommon for my neighbor gal to come over. We immediately thought “hmm maybe it’s Dantrea..”

NOPE. A cop stood at my door..

Now we all know of how crappy February was for Me. Sick kids, drama with friends, a daycare parent that couldn’t pay me (she paid me!). Two weeks ago my husband was let go and is now unemployed.

That day was suppose to be perfect. It was a day we had been waiting for. I had made it my goal to make his 28th birthday something to look forward to.

Instead of cuddling on the couch and watching a movie. We were chatting with a cop about a “tip” that had come in that evening. Accused of something 100% false! “Is it okay if I have a look around?” With nothing to hide we say “yes.”

Have you ever had someone completely look through your house? Find all your personal items and go into your bedroom AS IS. I haven’t. Even though we didn’t have anything to hide. The embarrassment that came with trying to prove the “tip” wrong. This might seem silly to most but I love my privacy.

While the cop was looking around I felt betrayed. Who would do this? Accuse US of something so horrible. After everything that had happen. I texted my bible study ladies told them what was happening. They lifted us up in prayers. ❤️ I’m so thankful for those ladies.

2 hours later. We laughed and joked with the cop that came. He left finding NOTHING. Our evening plans ruined because of some jerk. Instead of enjoying our evening together. We were busy getting the kids settled into bed and calming our nerves after everything that had happen.

03-07-19: the police Chief called my husband. Apologizing for any embarrassment. The tip that came in was detailed enough that they were concerned.

While on the phone the Chief offered my husband a job! 😍 When the tip came in he knew he recognized the name. My husband has applied for a job 8 months prior, but sadly he didn’t get it. A new position had opened up and he was offering my husband the spot!

😍😍 you guys! After EVERYTHING that had happen! I’m still in shock. Background check, finger print, drug test. Then off he goes to Police Academy ❤️😍!!

If you made it this far. Your awesome! ❤️❤️

AND that is my story of how a Birthday started with a French press, and ended with a cop !
