Yep, it's official!

I am officially a registered driver in the state of Texas! Oh, how I have waited patiently for this day, and it's finally here! I am so excited!

... oh, I am also officially 16! I really don't feel any overwhelming excitement about it. I'm not sure why 16 gets worked up to be some big thing...although it does sound a lot better than 15. :) Well, ok, I guess I am pretty excited! :D

Here are some pictures from today...


My dad, Aaron and Evan set up b-day balloons in my bedroom and when my mom and I got back from Fort Worth, Aaron and Evan jumped out from behind my bed to "surprise" me... they're so sweet.

and yes, that is "Disney princess" and "strawberry shortcake" balloons you see... :)

The picture that Aaron drew me for my b-day. It's not that amazing for him, because he's like an art genius, but he hardly ever draws pictures for people, so I felt very special.

a picture in front of the DPS office, before I got my license.

and AFTER!... I was kinda melancholy about the whole experience. yeah right! :)

one more before we hit the road.

drivin' home


The last pictures I was planning on putting on this post were going to be of my first drive by myself, to go get pizza for dinner, but Dominos decided to put their "new kid" on the phones and he forgot to ask me if I wanted it delivered or if I wanted to come get it... so they delivered it. :(
(thanks a lot, new kid) Oh well, everything happens for a reason, right?

I made a little doodle to show you all what it would look like if I had gotten to go. Hope you enjoy. To see it well you may have to click on it to pull it up bigger.



I'll probably do a post with pictures from my b-day party tomorrow.


oh, how time flies.
