Done

Yesterday I mailed off for a packet from the texas department of public safety. It's called a parent taught drivers education packet! Yikes! Lexi will be 15 in a few short months so I am preparing. I looked into local driving schools and the price is ridiculous. Granted if we used a school we would get a break on insurance cost but the schools are outrageous!
Lexi is excited and I know she will do well. I will be her instructor so please pray for me! Ha! She is most excited that I will teach her and not dad. I gave her a printed drivers ed book yesterday and told her to begin to familiarize herself with it.
This will be a whole new territory of parenting for us. After we get her packet we have to choose an online course which we have pretty much narrowed down. Then we can begin teaching. She can't drive until she has a learners permit, and she can't get that until she is 15. Once she has that we can start the many hours of driving. Then after she turns 16 she will be able to get her drivers license. Things have changed since I got my license. She will be required to complete a driving test, I didn't have to do that. I was required to take a test at the dmv. They actually offered the test on the computer or paper, you got 3 chances. I took the computer twice failing, the last I decided to take the paper test. I passed with flying colors. I think the fact my whole drivers ed class was done on paper learning it was easier and what I was use to. If my parents had taught me I would have had to do a driving test.
