It's Official, Ashley completed her driving test yesterday, and now is a legal driver of the state of Oklahoma. I can't believe my little Ashley is driving, it will probably be even harder when Kaylee is driving. So when we break it down, in 286 days, she drove her required 6 months of driving, finished a online drivers ed course, she drove to church, school, Enid, Fairview, Stillwater, OKC, Tulsa, Branson, and Woodward many different times. Oh yea and she also drove us CRAZY..... lol We are very proud of her, she took it very serious, and really learned. Teaching her Drivers Ed our self was a challenge, you have to be careful not teach them your bad habits. It was also a blessing, because it reminded us many times of those bad habits. They do learn by example! She drove to school this morning ALL BY HERSELF (she had Kaylee but no mommy), and I am sure that all she thought about today was going home so she could drive again. A sigh of relief from this mom, because the course, required time, and the actual test is over. But with that sigh, comes many more sighs. A sigh when she drives into the garage, and a sigh when she crosses through our very busy intersection by our home. So much more to worry about, but we will not keep her locked in the home forever, we must let her grow up as much as we want to keep her our little girl. I will end with this...... Congratulations Ashley, we love you and are proud of you! You are a great driver, now when can you go to Richards for your mom?
Seconds after getting her license!
Leaving for school this morning!
How do I look? I say pink is your color!
