I am so excited my son passed his drivers license today.  I know many other families have kids that passed but this has been a journey :D   He first went for him permit when he was maybe 17 and I don't think he was really into it.  Then he tried taking the test 7 times finally passed for his permit.   Then he had his permit for a year and last year we re-newed it since he hadn't gone for his test.  With the 3 weeks remaining on his permit he finally went for his test.   YES he passed 1st try. I had to thank my one friend for all of the tips since her daughter just passed a few weeks ago.

Now we have to worry about insurance, and finding him a car.  (I told him he is going to need to ask for more hours at work).  As it is he is only working like one day a week.

I have been very behind on Live Journal about 10 days behind now.  Once I get caught up, I will doing another book posting.  (I am sure everyone is thrilled) Yeah right.  But I am going to try to shoot for at least once a month :)

Well that is all for now.  I let him have the honors of calling everyone, and since I am so excited I just had to update my journal!!

I was talking to someone else - and a lot of kids are waiting longer to get their licenses. WE don't know if it's texting or Facebook or what, but kids now don't see a need to drive. Which I guess it's good cause a few more years of maturity wouldn't hurt them and we can save the money.

Your right about saving money. It is going to be another 314 dollars every 6 months and that is without a car. Just wait until he gets a car, then the insurance will be even higher.

I sometimes do think it is a good thing if they wait just a little longer to get there license. I'm not saying until they are 23 like my son but maybe 18 or 19 when some of the school craziness has died down. (Usually in college they don't have a car the freshman year).
