Driving!!

I'm sure you have all given up hope on our blog. But I actually have news for once!

As you know I've been 15 for a while. We finally went to the DMV on Jan. 20. So now I'm pleased to say that I have my permit!!

Driving is so fun. it feels weird to be in complete control of a moving object. but I'm getting the hand of it. We have driven around a bit. We never go on busy roads. I'm not quite ready for that yet. So it still feels like I'm on a driving range or in a high tech virtual game. I sometimes forget that if i don't look really good, there really could be a car or something. But don't worry, I'm still a very cautious driver and I'll get better. Papa gets mad when mom takes me driving around. He says that I shouldn't drive just to drive, I should drive to get somewhere. He's so silly! I always tell him I'll never get my hours if i just drive to go somewhere.

We had a bit of excitement when i was crossing 5600. (a pretty busy road by our house). It was like the second time I had driven on the roads and my parents wanted me to cross 5600!! I was kind of scared. There was a big van across the intersection. Their blinker was SO dim. i could barely tell that they were turning left. When the brake in traffic came i went blank. I completely forgot that I had the right-of-way. For some reason i thought that they had the right-of-way. Mom and dad were yelling to go, i was yelling (and terrified). Thank goodness it was a big break in traffic and i didn't hesitate too long. other wise our car would be wrecked, my parents would be furious and i wouldn't have my parents trust or my permit.

Anywho, I'll keep ya updated on any more fun things that happen. Well, tah tah.
