Well, my daughter had her 14th birthday on 8-8-08. Pretty exciting date I must say. She passed her driver's permit test today. She is so excited to start driving. I was never excited to drive and actually hated it until I was in my mid 20's and had to drive from North Platte, NE to Omaha or Boone, IA on a regular basis. My mom couldn't believe I would do it because I was always looking for somebody to drive me places when I was younger. Now I drive everywhere by myself with all the kids. Doesn't even bug me.
Anyway, back to Corrisa. She can't wait to get behind the wheel of a car. I already told her that I wasn't driving with her she has to have her dad or Mark go with her. I know my mom and sister want an experience with her too. Mom, I hope you are prepared for this you are not as young as you used to be. I have seen her drive a car on video games and she is terrible at those. Haha.
With all the uncles and my sister and 2 dads she has plenty of people to drive with and I think you have to have so many hours of driving experience before you can take driver's education anymore. She is thinking she is going to get an expensive and nice car when she turns 16, but the only one who is for that is Mark and well he doesn't always think clearly. I figure a car that can get her and her brother to her dad's every other weekend is good enough. My first car was $200 and it served its purpose just fine. Wasn't pretty, but kids don't need pretty when they will driving in the high school parking lot with a bunch on inexperienced and immature drivers.
Anyway, wanted to update everybody and for warn you all that the road is now not quite as safe as it was this morning. If any of my family members feel the need to drive with my daughter I will not be held accountable for any extra hospital bills because you have a heart attach or stroke. Love ya all.

Shelly,
I remember well when both of my kids started driving... I tell them both they have given me a few gray hairs. I do enjoy reading your blog and hearing about your family. God bless and I hope you have a terrific weekend!

Driving at 14? Wow! We weren't allowed to even get our permits til 15 1/2, legally.
I need your prayers. Please read my blog update, ok?
