**This was written several weeks ago, before my awful blog woes.  Sorry for the delay in posting.  That’s the way my brain works.  Hard to concentrate and post when something on the blog isn’t “right”.

It’s official! Courtney got her license today. She made a 100% on the driving test. Can’t say I remember if that’s difficult or not.

This evening Sophie hopped on her bike and said, “I got to my license.”

So soon….

After Courtney’s venture out on her own to pick up Mercy and head to church… I received a text from Aubrey:

🙁 {sad face} courtneys driving now. i wasn’t ready for all that. 🙂 im not used to seeing her driving. 🙂 she was doing good though when i was behind her.

 I sent a text telling him that he literally “cracks me up” and that I didn’t expect him to be so protective, to which he replied:

…I feel like my Mom now. 🙂 its weird. 🙂

I didn’t save my replies…but after my last one, he sent the sweetest text:

…I care about her Mrs. Rena!  I tell her all the time how much she means to me.:)  I don’t have to worry about her too much though.  She’s a good driver.

*Most typos excluded.  You’re welcome, Aubrey. 😉

It’s amazing what it takes for our teens to “feel our pain”.

Lots going around here lately.  Hence, the delay in posting.  New licensed driver in the house, toddler in full time panties, Soldier home and… I’ve been “blogged down” with the blog.  Still waiting for some time to fix the pics.

Meanwhile….a new design is coming.  Really.  Largely due to my sweet bloggy friend, Donna, who meant what she said when she offered to send 20 US dollars all the way from Australia for the greater cause of insertgracehere.com, formerly insertgracehere.wordpress.com (with pictures…NO Xs). 

Many thanks, Donna.  Hope it doesn’t disappoint.  Stay tuned to find out.

Also coming… Cammie is home!  Pics (actual pics, no Xs…really) from AIT with her battle buddies.

I’ve missed you all in the blogosphere.
