6 Weeks In

It’s crazy to think that we are hitting the 6 week mark since this happened….

Zack Sixteenth Birthday Drivers License

Yes, this week Thursday marks 6 weeks since Zack got his license. It’s crazy.

There are moments when I still can’t believe that I have a kid that is driving and then there are moments when I am so freaking happy that I have a kid that is driving.

He runs to the store for me. 

He picks Alexander up from school.

He drives himself and Libby to and from school.

He drives himself to and from work.

He drives himself and his girlfriend to the movies and dinner.

Zack having a license has given us freedom because he no longer depends on us for a ride and I really like that I can send him to the store a bazillion times throughout the week to grab something that we need.

Ahhhh….having a teenage driver is nice.

Zack has been doing great since getting his license. He hasn’t been in an accident or been pulled over, he’s a very cautious driver and he’s also learned how to fix a few different things on his car thanks to a few issues we had in the beginning. So far he’s fixed 2 tires, replaced the catalytic convertor and sensor, changed the oil, replaced the starter, rotated the tires, changed the spark plugs and taken it to the car wash.

I’m actually impressed by how clean he keeps it!

Check back with me again in a few weeks on how things are going…..now that he can drive he went and got himself a new job!
