He's a licensed driver!!

Dane got his driver's license. He wasn't able to get it on his birthday, instead it wasn't until Jan. 13th. Apparently Fairfield DPS is only open one day a week (Wednesday) and just for a couple of hours. It was quite the ordeal. But, he's been driving for about six weeks and I am very confident in him. I was a little worried about this weekend. He was supposed to take Kathleen to Palestine for Valentine's Day, it would have been their first date, but her mom changed her mind so it didn't happen. I'd say he was disappointed, but I think he is getting used to it.
So, I no longer have a "child" that I am responsible for toting around. After almost 33 years I am only responsible for getting me around. It's wierd to be able to leave school when I want to and to be either early or on time in the mornings.

A New Milestone

Dane has one day left of being 15. We have everything ready for Friday...all the papers to submit for his driver's license, an insurance policy, and his 1985 truck. Starting next Monday I will drive to work by myself. Dane will drive to school by himself for the first time!! Exciting, yet sad. He is really growing up.
