Driver's License (at last!)


The day finally came! After a few hours driving time with an instructor (and several hours with Mom and Dad), the instructor said he was ready to take the driving test and get his license. Mom and Dad were not quite as sure, but nevertheless, he went and took his driving test and passed the first time (which is more than I can say)!



Behind him is the vehicle he will drive--a 1988 Cavalier that we bought when he was six days old! Holly scratched an "H" into it when she was two. It was at that point we decided that it was marked for future teenage use. It obviously is kind of a "beater" car, but you know--he has a car to drive! We are still trying to get used to the idea that we can send him to the store or let him drive himself to work, but we're getting used to not chauffeuring him around really fast!

Yay! How exciting! Congratulations! And I think beaters are they way to go, so much more character, history, and personality, plus you don't have to worry about them getting messed up!
