I Am So Excited!!!!
 

I just got the greatest news and I'm so excited and so thankful and right now I could :kiss my husband and if he was here I would .... lol ..... but it will have to wait until a little later. He definitely deserves that and more! ;) :D

As some of you know .... I don't have a drivers license and haven't had for several years now. I'd inadvertently let it expire when we were moving and everything was rather chaotic and a lot of upheaval going on.

Here in B.C. there's quite an involved procedure in getting to actually drive solo - a year at least from start to finish. I've been putting it off and putting it off.

My husband had applied for certification that I'd had a drivers license and that - no prob. THEN he mentioned that he thought he'd go a little further and see if there was any possibility at all that I could get my license here without having to go through the whole long drawn out process that new drivers have to do here. I told him that there was no sense that they'd never make an exception etc., etc., etc.

He said, "Oh well, it won't hurt to ask anyhow" and so he went ahead.

Well, he just called me and told me that he had very good news and told me that he found out that all I have to do is take the written test and and I can have my license (without all the other year long process) within a couple of months!! I'm so so so thankful and so glad and so excited! :bliss

So............ just wanted to share. There are several posters who know what a deal this has been for me to get going on getting my license and how I've been procrastinating, etc.

Great news for us both because it's been quite inconvenient with only one of us able to drive!!! and much much much thanks to my husband for pushing the issue.

Here ya go babe. :highfive

I'm happy for you.God is good.

Thanks Scott! Yes, God is SO good!! And He's so AWESOMELY good to me!!! :)

The Bible says rejoice with them that rejoice and mourn with them that mourn.
I prefer the rejoicing but if you mourn I'll hang in there and mourn with you.

I am very happy for you but should we be happy for Toronto area drivers? LOL!!!

Correction dear! It is a three year graduated program, not a one year. :)

Welcome to the 21st Century...:D

I think the Toronto area drivers are quite safe, it's the Vancouver area drivers who will need to be put on alert, as well as any moose thinking about crossing the highway. She totalled my car by hitting a moose while driving at 60 mph several years ago.

two things.

GREAT NEWS!

and

it takes THREE YEARS to get a DL?????? wow! (that means I could have had a DL at 11... hee hee. I started driving at 8 on the farm.

Well that makes it even more fantastic!!
Now when friends come to visit I can chauffer them myself and just think of all the exploring I'm going to get to do! And shopping too! :bliss

WOW are they are really tough when you get a DWI :)

Felicity...

Don't do this to us.
:lol

Anyhow, I send congrats... Have fun driving everywhere. Hope gas is cheaper there than here. It is almost $3.00 a gallon and this is the Oil capitol of the world.

Toronto??? I think Felicity and TB are in the Vancouver area about 3000 miles west of Toronto. LOL!

Three stinkin' years! It's NUTS! I think it's because of all the immigrants who come here. That's my guess anyhow but 3 years is just crazy regardless.

I got my permit as soon as I turned 15 and had my license 6 months later. It's been a pain in the ... um .... derriere :heeheehee not having a license.

Now the next thing I need is my own car. Woohoo! I know exactly which one I'd like too!

:coolcar

Congrats, Felicity! I know you must be relieved! :yahoo

I'm excited too! Now if I could just figure out why....

Tell your husband that you feel like a teenager again in a sultry, whispery voice...he'll like that. :D

I know what a deal it has been for you, sis...I am SO happy!!:thumbsup

To every time there is a season, a time to laugh a time to mourn... I haven't figured out which I'm supposed to do in this case.... Anyway, congrats to Felicity joining the land of road rage.

Congrats Sis. Felicity! http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l7...s_/driving.gif

That's wonderful news!

Just think Felicity can drive and take TB and go parking.
They can park in a lover's lane spot somewhere.

I can still hardly believe it. LOL. I called and asked TB ..... were you talking to the people in BC? Or was it someone in NB who told you that?

I just still can hardly believe that it's going to be this simple. I'm so excited. I can't wait to start exploring because I love to go driving and find out where everything is myself. My husband doesn't usually care to do that but now I can and I'll be able to go shopping when and wherever I want.

This means ......... FREEDOM! :bliss

Hehe. :) ;)

I could tell stories but I better be good. Oh boy! :D

You Americans need to quit whining about the price of gas. You still have the cheapest gas in the world except some of the Middle Eastern countries. I paid $4.91 a gallon the last time I gased up on Tuesday!

Oh great ... that's all we need ....


ANOTHER FEMALE DRIVER!!!!!!!!!!

:couch:bolt

But, this is no ordinary female driver! This is the Queen who will be driving her royal chariot down main street. :)

VIVA The Queen Of Canada.

You are a wise man TB .... you have learned the rule of the jungle ....

now send a PM and tell how she really drives ..... :ursofunny:ursofunny:ursofunny

Look out for trouble.


Acts 27:15
5 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.



Hee heeeeeeeeeee

Felicity this is great!

Happy Driving!!

You are so-o-o funny! :ursofunny

watch out ...watch out!! be careful on that crosswalk... and keep your guard up when on the sidewalk... FELICITY is

On the road again
Goin' places that she's never been
Seein' things that she may never see again,
And she can't wait to get on the road again.

Y'all need to hold the congrats for now. FIRST, she has to write a knowledge exam and take a road test! It's great though that she won't have to go through a three year graduated licensing process to get her license.

She will do fine on the written and road tests...I am confident of that.:thumbsup

Is that American dollars and cents?! Not sure what the exchange is.

I paid $3.29 today...had 10 cents off with my Kroger card...:nod

My son says that in Japan it costs six thousand dollars for a drivers license.

I bet you do! Poor TB! man i am praying for YOU!

on the immagration front, it looks like the good ole U S of A is about to go wobbly. good grief.

blessings to you my friend..

CAD I am sure. the USD/CAD is trading around 1.1035 or some such. so back that down and it will be close to what you paid in USD.
