I passed!

I finally took my USAFE driver's test. Yes, I should have gotten it when I first arrived here...and to defend why I have been putting it off so long...I did take the test during orientations, I failed it by 1 question, Dan was deployed and it was a pain to get someone to watch my kids when I am new to the area. So the deal was before we purchased the car, that I would get my UK license. Well time passed quickly and I didn't before my car arrived but being Dan's wife, and Dan giving in to my constant "but" I have been driving it pretty much all the time. He's concerned the car won't be covered if I get into an accident (I did wreck my last new car 216 miles, 2 1/2 hours after I drove it off the car lot) and this car is "just a little" bit more than the civic. So I tried taking it yesterday before the library closed and I failed it by 1 twice! I was so mad. I was complaining to the library people (we are regulars in there so I didn't seem totally weird) and then today I took it 3 times and finally got 5 wrong (2 less than what I could miss) and passed! I took 11 minutes, the shortest time I took it in and passed. I think I was just trying to concentrate too long on the 50 questions. So now on Thursday I go to the brief for 50 minutes and I'm "legal" to drive and finally get gas on base. Although I would sometimes just do it and have them write my name in the dreaded log book of those who didn't have their fuel card. So now that I passed the test, Dan has no problem with me driving the car, I think it was just an incentive to get the license since he was tired of having to take my car to work and fill up my tank, although now, I don't think he has a problem driving my car.


So I'm super excited we're going to watch the girl's nativity play tomorrow at school. They both had come home with paint on their faces, and Madison was so excited she was the head angel with the speaking part since the main one wasn't at school so she took over. Hannah had a white face and black nose (she's a sheep) and showed me her very best "BAAAAAAA." Amazing let me tell you.
