Yes, Tuesday was an exciting day for Ashley - she passed her learner's driving test and in the eyes of the state of VA is qualified to be behind the wheel of a vehicle - at least with a licensed driver by her side! When she was home on Thursday, she asked if she could drive me to work, and after some serious prayer, I said yes. After all, it was only her third time driving! I bravely strapped Will and myself into the seat belts and tried to convince myself that it wasn't going to be too bad!!!
I am sure, that if I had looked in the mirror, I would have seen my mother's face staring back at me!!! I remember the first times of driving with her and thinking that surely she was going to explode! Just seeing how nervous she was made me even more nervous and of course, I was not allowed to go over 35 miles per hour. So, despite my nervousness, I TRIED (I really did) to put on a relaxed face(I think I even managed to smile a few times!).
Ashley did pretty well, we made it safely and I have to say she remained calm in spite of my nervousness and Will's constant backseat driver instructions!!! I mean, he never stopped telling her what to do, and when and how to do it! I think she was just too excited about driving to let anything bother her(see the smiles below!).

Wow! Congrats Ashley and great job Susan. I'm not sure I would have been as brave.
