I Drove 7 Miles -- Yheeyy!


Yesterday, BF was home from the field for 24hours. We had to do some errands at Fort Carson and asked him if I can drive down there. At first, he was shilly-shally to say "YES", maybe he was imagining me going on the rampage and running loads of people over and that thought scared him. But I was really persistent and he had no choice but to just give what I want.

This is one of those days that I am not scared to drive so I took the chance. But there were times that even I am not nervous to drive, I still made lots of mess and we, (jowa and I) will just end up pissed with each other (all because he yelled at me while driving and I really really hate it!) That's what I told him, to not to run his mouth while I'm driving
because that makes me out of focus. HALLER!?! Is he expecting me to drive good with the fact that I do not know anything about driving? He always seems impatient everytime he teaches me how to and swear, he already made me cry because of this driving issue. It just made me laugh every time I remember my mistakes and how he yells.

Anyways, driving from our home to Ft. Carson is like 15-20minutes drive and 7miles away. Jowa gave lots of reminder after he said yes.. It was pretty good folks - I WAS GOOD Just need to control my anger on the road now and try not to hurt or blame pedestrians for my mistakes. Heehe. Also, this is the first time my partner compliment my driving, especially my "U-turning" . The only problem he said I made was I'm little scared of gas. Hehe. I run 40mph wherein speed limit is 55mph.. One car behind us blown his horn because I was driving too slow.. Hehe. Need more practice too parking the car with another car parked besides. Tout ensemble, I did good. I was happy yesterday and so is he.. Way to go! We'll try to drive from Colorado Springs to Denver next week. Good luck on the highway! Heheh..

    This is funny sis! But Im happy you made it. The reason why my hubby don't wanna teach me driving because WIFE are the hardest student in the world. He doesnt want us to end pissed off with each other so he said I will have a professional driving instructor so that my "sutilness" wont work! =(

    Hay I can only imagine how my driving lesson the husband will go IF and WHEN I decide to take the plunge. I am sure the same thing will happen with us kasi that's how it is. I told my H na I don't want him teaching me how to drive because of that same reason...baka makulong lang ako kasi baka mapatay ko sya...hahaha...

    Oh well...I survived for 6, almost 7 years here without learning how to drive. Kung hindi lang dahil sa little girl namin, I wouldn't even consider learning how to drive.

    Anyway, thx for the visit.

    Enjoy the week ahead!

    Stay with it. Practice makes perfect. I taught my wife to drive and just know it's not easy for the teacher or the student but rewarding for both. Keep praising Jesus!
    Grace and Peace,

    I know EXACTLY what you're going through...my boyfriend too yells at me when I'm driving and its the most irritating, frustrating thing in the world!!
    He's been at it for like 20 gajillion years and I've been driving for 2 (going on 3) years. So of course I'm not as good. Only difference is I'm not afraid of the gas. In fact i'm probably TOO comfortable with it! :)
