Alex and Driving


Yay! Alex passed her permit test today. I cannot believe my baby is getting ready to drive. She has never been in a real hurry to drive and seemed to be taking her sweet time in obtaining her permit. Now Caleb on the other hand has the days counted maybe even up to the minute...who knows. Today opened a new chapter in our lives - teenage driver! There is so much to look forward to - higher rates on insurance, another car to put gas in, maintenance on a third vehicle, biting all my nails down when she drives off, and on goes the list. Alex is a very responsible young lady and I am certain she will be just fine BUT anyone that knows her knows she loves to do at least three or four things at one time...yikes! Just visualize Alex trying to drive and not wanting to read, look around, listen to music and listen to a story on tape all while carrying on a conversation. She is pretty amazing. She keeps telling me, "Mom, relax." So, relax I will.

Hi Lora - I remember when Josh got his permit...man, I'm old! Now I was never scared for Josh but Suzanne was another story :o) If Suzi can do it then Alex can too. Love you guys and can't wait to get to Arizona again.
