the permit process

the whole driving process in maryland seems a little odd to me. kids can get their permit at 15 and 9 months. then they need to accumulate so many driving hours and then at 16 and 6 months they take drivers ed and then can get their license.

and now i keep asking myself, how did we get here? how did we get to this point where i have a child who can legally drive? ahhh! the whole permit process has been kind of a nightmare, but i won't go into the whole ordeal. the first time (actually the second, but thats another story!) we were at the mva i took some pictures. this was her saying "don't take pictures! what if i fail!"

and then i took one of her being all grown up and talking to the nice mva lady. and she actually was nice, which was refreshing, for the mva, you know. that was all i took there because i didn't know if it was allowed. :)

and finally, she has her permit. because of certain events in the whole permit process, she's not able to drive until tuesday. so please, i will be needing prayers on tuesday. ;)

no, but really. have you driven with me? and i'm teaching someone to drive...

heaven help me!
