Yep I am the mama of a driver!!!

It is hard to imagine that I have a son driving! He got his license last week and is loving it! His dad blessed him with a vehicle and we are helping Andrew with most of his car insurance which is no small thing on a 16 year old young man! We are happy for him and feel as though he is ready for this freedom. He actually turned 16 in April however due to law changes he had to wait 6 months after receiving his permit. It is a different season. It is a huge letting go. Part of it I welcome....and the other part is hard knowing that we are never going back to the way things were. He is growing up. I am proud of him for so many reasons.
