Sweet 16

March 24 is the big day! All I can think about is 16 years ago I was 16 and my world was about to change and boy did it change! I loved her from the moment I laid eyes on her and I knew no matter what I was going to survive this. 16 years later and here we are. It was a rough road at times and a few times I had to work harder than ever to feed us but I knew it would all work out.

Our day began in a rush. Lauren and Terry had to get over to the DPS office by 7:30 to get in line for them to open at 8a.m. As they pulled up they noticed the line out the door and I kept thinking how disappointed she will be because they are not going to be able to get a driving test today. Not only was I thinking about that I was thinking OH NO we forgot to teach her parallel parking!If you are wondering why Terry took her, we decided to do the parent taught Drivers Ed course. The teacher had to go with her so that is why.
As I sat home freaking out I received a text from Terry that said They didn't make her do a test,we don't have to wait in line, and she is taking her picture now. WHAT? Well a lady recognized them from a year ago when she got her permit and saw Terry in uniform and grabbed them out of line. YIPEEEE! Don't get me wrong if we thought she needed the test we would have waited. She is a good driver and we have spend the past year working with her. About 25 minutes later here they come down the road....





Since it was still so early off to pick up her Best Friend Chasity and head to school. I can only imagine how that ride went. I am sure LOUD!



Later that night we went to dinner with her closest friends and family. I let her decide who she wanted and what Restaurant. We had a good time and though I was a little sad she did not want a party I think this was perfect.
