Hallie's Drivers Permit

 I'm not sure how we got to this point but it feels like it came faster than I expected. But ready or not our Hallie is old enough to get her drivers permit. I remember being super excited to get my permit so when I asked her about getting it scheduled I was surprised when she was less than excited to do that and hesitant to even want to do it. After some conversations she was convinced that she would need as much practice as possible before she really received her actual license. Currently in order to get your license you have to hold a permit for at least 6 months and pass a written test for your permit and then take drivers education. But in order for Matt and I to feel comfortable we want her to have as much experience as possible. The permit test is 50 questions and you have to get an 80% to pass. You can take the test twice in 1 day. When I scheduled Hallie's appt they had apps you could take practice tests on but it turns out they didn't have any of the correct info. So when she went to take the test she got a 78% both times...she of coarse was super bummed but they gave her a study guide that had the correct info.

2 weeks later she tried again. The first test she second guessed several questions and changed her answers only to once again get a 78%! After a pep talk she took it one more time and passed with an 85%....and now we have our 1st driver. I'm not sure if I'm excited or terrified but as always I'm proud of our girl
