I DROVE, I DROVE, I DROVE!

Well, today, Dad took me out to drive. I was pretty scared about going. :O LOL Yeah...

He took me out to Coweta where he had me drive around and park in an empty parking lot for at least a half hour.

THEN he had me go out onto the ROAD! AHHHH! And then a HIGHWAY! It was pretty crazy. [We went that same route twice]

And THEN he had me drive from Coweta to the Reasor's by my house!

By the time I got there, I was pretty stressed/frazzled! It wasn't Dad's fault--he was pretty good. I was just REALLY stressed out! Dad said he thought I was going to break the steering wheel in half because of how tightly I was holding it. He said I kept drifting to the right--well, YEAH! I didn't want to run into somebody! But then again, I didn't want to drive off the road either so...

*sigh*

It was PRETTY crazy. But...

I DID IT!!!

I'm pretty happy. Mom wants me to drive again tomorrow [some] on our way to Missouri. AHHH! Wow...I can do this. Breathe deeply--I can do this...Wow.....

Well, I still did it!!!

Boo-yah!

During this LOVELY drive, I met a funeral procession [which, of course, we stopped for] and...did I mention that I drove on the highway???? Okay, I admit it--I'm kind of proud of myself...

Oh, and by the way, this was the first time I'd EVER driven on the streets--I'd only driven through our neighborhood and in a parking lot. 'Twas QUITE crazy...
