Or at least the present. Heehee.

I DROVE today

Yes, as in I drove a car-WHOOHOO!

Ok, so it was only in a parking lot at Magnuson Park, and I didn't take it higher than 1st gear, but if you knew how hella terrified I was of the whole idea, you might understand how triumphant I felt doing circles through puddles in an empty parking lot. I turned, I stopped, I started, I drove all the heck over that lot and the nearby lot-I even drove out of the lot and around a big empty old naval commissary building, where I parked and let Jessica take the wheel.

Considering that on my first lesson I was too petrified to even start the vehicle, I'm pretty proud of myself.

Thanks, Jessica, you rock!
