Fingerprints and Frustration :)

We finally completed our FBI Fingerprinting today.....but it wouldn't have been fitting for it to go smoothly after the week that we both have had...so of course, there is a story. And it goes a little something like this:

We received our packet of information from our agency explaining what to do with the documents they sent us and where we needed to take them. I opened up the "instructions sheet" and felt like I was in high school again taking French I for the third time, except this time it was English. I couldn't understand ONE complete sentence of this letter! Finally, I did what any 3rd grader would do...and sounded out each word out-loud and read each sentence slowly. After both JD and I felt completely incapable of raising a child because of our lack of understanding this simple task...we called the police station to find out what we would need to bring with us for our fingerprinting.
The next day, we wake bright and early, with our heads a little more clear....and we head to the police station. We were there VOLUNTARILY to get our fingerprinting and everyone was treating us like we had just robbed a bank! They were not nice at all and made us sit in a corner! Nobody puts baby in a corner! Anyway, JD's first set of fingerprints go off without a hitch. Which means...its my turn. After FIVE sets of fingerprints, they aren't able to get any clear prints. So THEN they tell us that we could go to the Charleston jail and have them done digitally....meaning no ink....meaning no smudges....meaning WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?? So, we waited until today....drove to the Charleston jail...and again we are treated like we mugged an old lady in a Picadilly parking lot. We ended up getting great prints that we PRAY will not get sent back!!!! (PS: JD had to do his twice this time! haha :) )
