I Am So Excited!!!!

I just got the greatest news and I'm so excited and so thankful and right now I could 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!

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!

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.

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 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.
