I took Braedon down to get his license this morning. His appointment was at 8:15. I wasn't concerned until I was getting out of the car to let the instructor in. I casually asked \"how long is it going to take?\" The instructor replied coolly \"Twenty minutes... if he makes it that long. Just being realistic\". I immediately got a knot in my stomach and was worried the entire\u00a0time they were gone. When they pulled in I watched as Braedon turned off the car and the instructor writing away then pointing her finger all over the place. I was sure he had\u00a0not passed. As he slowly exited the vehicle and come around the back of the car he shot me a huge smile with the thumbs up. So proud... and relived.\r\n\r\nLater that day I told Breadon he could now drove himself to swim. When he cam back I excited asked him\"How was your first independent drive?\". His response was of a typical teenager \"Fine\". \u00a0Little does he know this opens the doors to a wonderful new freedom.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Well, we have a new driver in the house today.
