My wife passed the driver's license test yesterday! That means that she's now a licensed driver, and can get herself about town legally. That's a huge thing for a stay at home, homeschooling mom. The only thing she missed on the test was she didn't stop right at the limiting line at a stop sign.

Congratualtions, Arbilad, and to your wife. My daughter's facing that now, having to pass the test to get her license. She took driver's ed at the local university since we weren't prepared to home school driver's ed. Now if we can get her used to the big old truck, or get the little car's transmission fixed...

Unless she is a teenager. Ooops.
My wife is 30 years old. I'm not that weird. She's from the Ukraine, and most people there never learn how to drive. Even those few who have licenses and cars to drive. Most people there depend on public transportation.

Congrats to Mrs. Arbilad! Happy and safe driving!!

It's fairly simple. When I went back to Ukraine on business, a lady from one of the branches I had served in introduced me to my future wife. We wrote back and forth a lot, and I visited. We decided that we were a good match; I brought her over and in a few months we got married. And Ray, I'm sure your brother has told you that an awful lot of Elders who served over there got married to Ukrainian women. Some even met their wives while on their mission. I know of a specific example of that.

She loves having the freedom. To be honest, I'm still a bit nervous to be in the car with her. That's not because she's doing anything wrong, but because she does things differently from me. For instance, she takes turns faster than I do. She is still within the safe limits, but I would take the same turn slower than she does.
