Wow! Today, I got my second opportunity to drive since I obtained my license. This time, I was driving with my sisters. My sister from Ohio was in town, and she wanted to get a game for my niece. Today was my niece’s birthday, so we were meeting at my parents to celebrate. My sister [...]

I do not know why I though that things would change now that I have a license. Yes, I do. I figured that people would be more comfortable letting me drive after I got a license, but that has not really been the case. That coupled with the fact that my family is going through [...]

That was one question that I hated fielding when I was married. Because of society’s traditional views and expectations, this is viewed as a logical question for married couples. However, if you feel comfortable enough to ask a couple this, then you should at least know whether or not they even want kids… The questions [...]

…like a ref with a whistle. I am now licensed to drive! My father and I were going grocery shopping, and he asked if I had wanted to drive. Um, he drives a fifteen passenger van. I said I do not think I am ready for that, and then told him I had passed the [...]

…I am legal on the roads! Five hundred fifteen dollars and ninety-five cents later…let me say that again $515.95 later with this breakdown,: $29.95 for the Virtual Driving Course $25 for the Temporary Instruction Permit $316 for driving lessons (four hour and a half lessons at $79 each) $105 to rent the student car for [...]

So, after Robin Thicke, my friend made me drive. I never get practice, especially at night, so I am not complaining. This was only my second time driving at night. My standing question is “Why do the Suburbs not believe in street lights?!” It was so dark.
Ursula | July 15, 2009
So, today, I drove at night for the first time in my life. The only other times that I have driven outside of my paid lessons this permit go round have been during the two times that my sister let me drive to the store. The store is only about a mile, mile and a [...]

Today was my second lesson from Sears Driving School. This time, it was all driving on major streets. I tried to psych myself up before I went this time, and it may have worked. I felt a lot more comfortable driving today than I did yesterday.
Ursula | July 7, 2009
Apparently, at least for today, driving is terrifying for me. I had my first Sears Driving School lesson today.

Well, if you read this blog, then you may have noticed that there has been no progress since the first driving lesson since getting the permit. I refuse to let this permit, which is at least my third one, go to waste, so I am taking matters into my own hands. Finding someone to take [...]

So, I received my first driving lesson since getting my permit. Again, my younger sister came to my aid to try to show me some of the basics.

Today, my already driving, baby sister took me to the Secretary of State to that I could take the written driving test. This is at least my third, but possibly my fourth time taking the written test. I pass it every time, but I end up wasting the permit. I am never able to get [...]

So, in an effort to get going on the goal of learning to drive, I finally bought the online preparation class for the written driving test. I tried really hard to just read through the book “What Every Driver Must Know,” but I kept falling asleep, getting disinterested, and feeling like I was not retaining too much [...]
Ursula | April 29, 2009
So, now that I have completed the last goal of studying the bible daily, it is time to move on down the list. I have so many things that I want to do that it is hard to decide. There is one goal, though that seems to have a direct or indirect effect on several of [...]

The premiere January event of Detroit has come–the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). Detroiter’s and people from all over come to this event to see cars, show off, or just have a good time. I go during the day, on employee day, which is during the week, so I avoid the bigger crowds. This year, [...]
