Bye Bye!

I am off to Utah for Carrie's wedding. Be back Tuesday!!

Funny Tennessee

There are some things in all states that I am sure make you giggle. I was looking up the stipulations on Zac's driver's license. Here they use what they call a "Graduated Driver's License." It starts like most with a learner's permit -

Anyone under the age of 18 who has a learner permit will be
prohibited from driving between the hours of 10 p.m. and
6 a.m. When driving, permit holders must have a licensed driver
age 21 or older in the vehicle with them. Seatbelt use is mandatory
for everyone in the vehicle under the age of 18

Pretty normal.

Now he has an "Intermediate License" -

Those with an intermediate restricted license can only have one other passenger in he vehicle, UNLESS:

* One or more of the passengers is age 21 or older and has a valid, unrestricted license;
* The passengers are brothers and sisters, step-brothers or step-sisters, adopted or fostered children residing in the same house as the driver and going to and from school AND the intermediate license holder has in their possession written permission from their parent or guardian to transport their siblings.

Those with an intermediate restricted license are prohibited from driving between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., UNLESS:

* They are accompanied by a parent or guardian;
* They are accompanied by a licensed driver 21 or older who has been designated by the parent or guardian. This designation must be in writing and be in the possession of the teen driver;
* They are driving to or from a specifically identified school sponsored activity or event and have in their possession written permission from a parent or guardian to do this;
* They are driving to or from work and have in their possession written permission from a parent or guardian identifying the place of employment and authorizing the driver to go to and from work;

And my personal favorite =)

* They are driving to or from hunting or fishing between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. and have in their possession a valid hunting or fishing license.

So pretty much as long as he has a note, none of the above apply!! (which is really good for us!)

He did it!!

Congrats to my fabulous oldest son. He passed is driving test (I knew he would). I was a mess, he wasn't nervous at all, but when he left with the guy to take the test, I thought I would be sick!! I had to pull out Zac's fancy phone and play games on it to keep myself distracted.

But now I can send him to the store, to pick up and take his brothers to piano, or whatever!!!!

Just as soon as I call the insurance company, ouch!

Send him your congrats on his blog - Zac's Blog -!!

Pray for Us!

I am taking Zac for his driving test this morning. As it will be very nice to have him able to drive, especially with me going out of town next week. I am a little scared to just let him go and drive by himself. I do hope he passes though. (This all hinges on him getting a form from school this morning, you have to prove you are attending school to get your license. And he forgot to request it until yesterday!)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!

I am not a fan of Howard Stern, but this will make you sick. And it should make you sick no matter who you are voting for.
(I do like his hair though)

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad

This blog is seriously hilarious. The girl who writes it is amazingly funny. Please remember it is satire, she is not serious. (at least I don't think she is) Go and read this post.

This is when I hate living far away!!

As you know from my previous post, my nephew Jordan recently left to serve a mission. Well, the Sunday that he spoke, my Brothers, and nephews performed in Sacrament. I believe it was a song that my brother Peter wrote called My Mission Call. I just wish that my boys could have been in this photo!!

So as I was watching the debate I wondered...

When the Middle-class American family is sitting around the kitchen table discussing Johnny's tuition, or co-pays, or rising heating costs. Do we EVER say, I wonder how the government is going to help us with this problem.

So I added my on poll about it.

I won't share my views or feeling on the subject, so as not to sway answers.
