I didn't get my driver's license till I was 26 (shocking, I know!) and I already had one kidlet and one on the way. I just ended up driving the car my husband drove. We've had two other vehicles since then but they were always our vehicles, even though I get the minivan all day while my husband drives the hatchback into work.<br /><br />So, having a vehicle and license did mean freedom, but of a different kind. It was freedom to go grocery shopping during the day, the freedom to make playdates with friends who were not walking distance from our house, and the freedom to not have to schedule doctor's appointments around my husband's work. <br /><br />Now that my children are older, I'll sometimes leave them with my husband and go meet a friend at a coffeeshop, or head to the library on my own, or shop by myself. Makes me feel quite footloose and fancy-free!Rabiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304609757116192709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317019853318228654.post-12514497148133274012012-07-10T15:39:44.676-07:002012-07-10T15:39:44.676-07:00SO happy for you!

Your question right away made me think of being born, not that I remember, but if I did, I'd say that there was a great sense of space and freedom, and exciting new sounds and experiences, AND that it was also a bit cold and scary...hmmm there seem to be parallels everywhere! So enjoy the adventure, and God bless you!Patynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317019853318228654.post-22789325240159865202012-07-10T10:48:25.825-07:002012-07-10T10:48:25.825-07:00Haha, thanks!

You will have to take me out on it when I visit next. My first one was a 1964 VW bug, blue! Whew, that's a long, long time ago.

Fairly rare and a lot of fun to drive until I pranged it into the back of a pickup truck while checking over my shoulder to change lanes on Beach Blvd. at the 91 freeway on my way from work to play for a wedding. *That* was not a fun day. Keep a safe cushion in front of you, young lady :-)<br /><br />Eric WamplerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-317019853318228654.post-68515688974049188722012-07-09T21:05:08.685-07:002012-07-09T21:05:08.685-07:00Yay!!!!

That was a lovely little car, even though the AC didn't work great and it didn't have power steering. I probably worked up some good arm muscles driving it, lol.Angela Wallacehttp://angelawallace.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
