Big T finally got his driver's license. Between my schedule and his classes we had a hard time getting everything together. He had his license for several days before he even wanted to drive anywhere. He did talk to the school about his parking pass so, he will be able to drive to school and then ride the bus to his school and that will save us on gas.
I was chomping at the bit to get my license when I was sixteen but, neither of my boys have been very excited about it. Big T did get his license before Sprat though, Sprat was seventeen before he got his license. My kids are not the only ones that have not gotten their license as soon as they turned sixteen. I have heard many of my friends talk about their kids not getting their license right at sixteen either.
You all know Sprat took my little raspberry to Boston so, Big T will be getting Sprat's little blackberry to drive. I took it and washed it and tried to clean it up a little before we headed out to the DMV. I was a little embarrassed at how dirty the car was, it really needs a deep clean. I may take it somewhere and have it detailed later.
Now that we have another driver, it seems we are getting closer to an empty nest. The boys do not depend on us to take them here and there and they are becoming more and more independent, like young adults. I am excited to think about an empty nest, the hubbs and I spending quality time together and traveling. Planning the college tour to Florida and all of our little side trips we took sort of got me excited at the fact that we would be able to do this just the two of us if a few years.
I really enjoyed our trip to St Lucia, WI that was also a little glimpse at what empty nesting might look like for us. I have always wanted to go to Italy and I would love to go back to Germany and Switzerland. The hubbs is not that keen on traveling but I think I could talk him in to those trips.
Stay tuned as our College tours are just beginning and Lax season is getting started.
