Look out Austin...here she comes!!!

That's right, Amanda not only has her drivers license, but now she has a car! My Mom & Dad bought it for her.

Amanda worked last night so we had plenty of time to "hide" the car from her. When she got home my Mom & Dad gave her an early Valentine's gift which included a key chain complete with car keys. She got so excited, started jumping up and down and squealing. She could hardly keep from running when we went outside to "search" for it. She knew it was red but that was the only clue she had.

She was super excited when she found it. The fact that she would not have to adjust the seat every time she got in seemed to be the best part of all!

She and my Dad spent a while driving around getting use to the controls, gauges, etc.... All in preparation for her first solo drive to school this morning. Even with the rain she did great and got there safely!

I am both happy and sad about this. Happy because she can help me by running errands, picking up her sister from school etc; and Sad because my little baby is not so little anymore!
