Look Who's Driving!!

Yep it's crazy but true Bridget got her permit today!  What is even more crazy is that I have a kid that old!!  Today was a late start.  We had just the right amount of time to get there right when they open, have Bridget take her test and get home in time for school at 10:00.  We headed out for Holbrook (we have heard it's better to go there then Showlow.  I forgot to grab Bridget's birth certificate and student ID.  It was no use in going without that so I called Bruce and we turned around and we met each other.  So we were now behind about a half hour.  We were just pulling into Holbrook and a train was just getting there that we had to wait for.  Bridget said "maybe we were supposed to come today for a reason".  We got to MVD and there were lots of people there.  We walked in and they said their camera wasn't working so they hoped they could get it going or we couldn't do it today.  We sat to wait.  When they called us up they said not good news - they would start her paper work and see if they could get the camera going.  Well they got it going and Bridget did her test.  She got finished and PASSED!!  They hurried to print hers and said they were turning the camera off to reinstall a program on it or something at 9:15 and it was 9:13.  It's a good thing Bridget took that test so fast!  So everything worked out!  Bridget thought about driving home but we were in too big of a hurry so I drove until we got to the road to Snowflake and pulled over and told Bridget she was driving.

 

 Here she is driving down the road.  She has driven around our neighborhood a little bit and back and forth to the church a few times so I thought she would be fine but it is a little nerve racking when your daughter that has never driven before is on the highway driving with other cars going 55 mph.  I held on to the wheel when cars were coming - not steering but just in case.  She did really good!  She drove us to our drive way.

 As you can see she was way excited!
