Brittany has her learner's permit. I took her to take the test last Thursday, she's only been in the drivers ed class for 3 days (It's outside of school, because they don't allow freshman to take it) She turned 15 in September, so I wasn't going to put off the inevitable. We went out to dinner that night and afterwards she drove around the community college campus for a while then hit the streets in the ran and dark, she did pretty well, she has driven on other occasions, but just in parking lots getting used to the vehicle and whatnot, this was the first on road she's had.
She waited until volleyball season was over, she does double duty as an outside hitter and a setter, this year she played through an inflamed rotator cuff and a sprained ankle. Plenty of tape and some of those Active Ankles took care of the second problem. I was proud since they started practices in mid-August, that was 4 hours a day until school started, then they had practice Mon-Sat from 4-6:30 unless there was a game in which case she usually didn't get home until between 8 and 9 pm since they also had to stay for all Sophmore, JV and Varsity games. Anyhow she ended up with 5 A's and a B this quarter. She's doing weight training 3 days a week with the Sophmore VB coach and a few others getting ready for some club VB in Jan. and then next fall. He's impressed with the dedication and the fact that she held such high grades through the season.
Other than that things are pretty cool, I have a teenage daughter (obviously), we went to Cabo again this year (3rd time) just went to the AC/DC and The Answer concert 2 weeks ago and have tickets to Metallica / Machine Head / The Sword in January. Last year we went to the Rob Zombie / Ozzy show.
