Permitted!

Yesterday, L and I went to the DMV - she to apply for a Learner's Permit, and I to renew my driver's license. She tries so hard to avoid being photographed, but I still managed to get a candid of her absolute joy at passing the written test and walking out with the papers entitling her to learn how to drive! As if I don't already have enough gray hair.

She can't actuallly start practicing until she's had her first behnd-the-wheel session at driving school, required in California of all young would-be drivers.

So - now we schedule the six hours of behind-the-wheel training at with the driving school and start logging the 50 hours of practice (10 at night) she will need to complete before she can apply for her license.
