Today is my 16
th birthday - of having my license. I remember this day so well. Of course when you turn 16 you
have to get your license on that day. Well, my mom was going into the hospital that day and my dad was with her so my best friend's (Betsy) dad offered to take me to get my license. He was so incredibly supportive and had me practice parallel parking and driving before we went for my test. I remember how happy and excited Mr.
Blundell was for me when I told him I passed. He had a huge proud smile on his face, hugged me and said congrats just like a dad would. The
Blundell's were just like family to me and I am so glad that I got to share this experience (and many, many others) with them!
Myself and Betsy a few weeks after my 16th birthday. I took a pic of the photo since I don't have a scanner. This was 1992 so don't make fun:) Please don't kill me Betsy for posting this photo. I love you and just wanted to remember how wonderful your family has been to me!
Happy Sweet 16x2! That picture of you and Betsy is awesome!!!
