In the midst of many national, regional and personal crises, yesterday was a wonderful break from the ordinary. You see, my Chick-A-Boo got her drivers' permit yesterday, and we went for her first driving lesson. She was petrified at first, more than a little intimidated by driving that "big ole van." She warmed up to it quite nicely though, and our hour's worth of her first driving experience was truly wonderful. It was so cool to watch her glow with excitement as she got the hang of the twisting, turning course through the church parking lot. I am so proud of her!
As much as I know it thrilled her, it thrilled me even more. I look forward to many more driving lessons with Emily, starting with another one today, if I get my act together and get everything done early enough this afternoon for us to have the lesson. Guess that means this post has come to an end.
Oh wait, one more bit of FANTASTIC NEWS: Ian received a postcard of encouragement from his English teacher with grades of a 96 and 100 on two recent tests/essays! YAY Ian!!!! Thursday was the best day I've had in many weeks!

Ahhh, the joys of parenting teens. ;) Jordan just got his license on Weds and it was so hard to let him drive to school this morning...all by himself. I'll be praying a lot! But he is thrilled!
Blessings to you and your family,
Paula
Yes, it is a joy, fer sure! I will join you in praying about Jordan driving. I know he is thrilled, and you are scared. He's a good guy though, and I believe he will be a very responsible driver.
