Troublemakers

I guess it's my turn, life gets busy sometimes so it's been hard for me to collect my thoughts on this. I'll share my best story first...

Around this time 4 years ago, Veronica came back to Bristol from UT for a weekend. The weather was getting cool, leaves were turning, and Halloween was in the air. So she and I (and our boyfriends at the time) decided to go on a ghost hunt in the tri-cities. We left out of our houses after dark and headed to Kingsport to the Sensabaugh Tunnel. I don't think we found any ghosts, I'm sure we scared ourselves more than anything!

Since we weren't having much luck, we drove to Johnson City so Veronica could see my dorm on campus. At this point it was about 3 in the morning so we decided we better get back home and (sneak) in. We were all tired, if you can imagine Veronica lacking energy.. that night she did! So I drove us back in her Bravada. I must have been in a hurry to get home because soon there were flashing lights behind us. I believe I was going about 65 in a 45... When we got pulled over the cops thought we were drinking or something, which set Veronica off because we really weren't doing anything wrong! Soon the cops called all of our parents and had them come get us (even though Veronica was over 18). They wouldn't even let Veronica drive her car back, her parents had to take it home!

Of course this wasn't very funny at the time, and we all got in a bit of trouble, but I will always remember that night (and I know our parents will too!)
