somewhere in the midst of this busy week, TGM turned 4. which means I've had my license for 4 years now too.
I can't believe I've been driving for 4 years. or that I was once ever scared of driving. growing up with a farm, you learn to drive pretty young. my gpa and dad used to let us drive the truck sometimes, and the tractors. you just got used to it. but something about driving on city streets, merging and passing, all that stuff freaked me out.
it was the best decision I ever made, getting my license. it allowed me to gain my independence, it built my confidence and my faith in myself.
so much over the last month I've had to do things like that all. face fears, gain independence, build my confidence and faith in myself. I've never felt more situated, more calm and rational, or more determined.
sometimes out of the mess of life, all we can do is learn. and keep going. the only way to get through something, is to get through it.

anyways
happy birthday TGM. momma looovesss you, even though you squeak and your back door still wont unlock. and if I trade you in in a few weeks, don't hate me. we had a good run.
