She better not drive over 55!




I have not been to a driving test since I was 16. This one was as stressful as my own. I took my daughter to her drivers test a few weeks ago. It was a very stressful 20 minutes in the waiting room. Afterward, we met with the instructor while both of us were turning red with stress, we got great news! We have a new driver in the family. She passed on the first try! Our girl is getting older fast! The pictures are quite the before and after pics. Last pic is my daughter driving her younger brother to basketball practice ( I am in the backseat because I wanted to be there for this epic drive).

Update: Wat's happenin' now?!? The "Solar" Bear Plunge

I started my 52 new things 7 years ago and finished it 6 years ago. It was a great adventure. I think of that year all the time. Skydiving, marathon running, superhero in the middle of summer, synchronized swimming and many more.  
I am going to try to do this again. I am busier than I was in 2009, so I will try to do something every couple weeks ( instead of every week). 
I started 2009 with my first polar bear swim. I finally convinced my whole family to join me in a "polar bear" swim on New Years Day! It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be.
