This past Monday I went for my driver's test and I passed with flying colours! First try!! I was so stoked!! Only problem was, I got so excited that I ended up being majorly stressed out. Positive stress really gets to me too. But I feel better now, and was ready to share about it finally. It's a major accomplishment for me as I was so phobic about driving; I hadn't driven since I was 17, and I am 24 now. I understand now what everyone was saying about it being total freedom and independence!! It totally is that!
Since I got my license on Monday, I have gone out driving on my own every day except today (the roads were icy, not really safe as we live in the country). I rode 3 hours there and back on the highway on Travis' birthday, when going to his party at the air base. Kind of ironic considering the last time I drove, I was driving out of a military base to run away from my family. So when I drove through the gates, it was an odd feeling, but a good feeling too! Kind of like I had conquered whatever it was that had me running from the base in the first place.
I've driven into town twice to pick up groceries for Mum. I also drove into town yesterday just for fun, and decided to have coffee at a little coffee shop, all by myself. I brought a book to read. It's been really great going into town and shopping, that is something I haven't done on my own for several months. I am still quite nervous about it but so far I have had good experiences. Rick and Angela just had baby boys almost 2 weeks ago, and I even thought I could drive out to see them one day! I am so glad I got my license.
