I HAVE FINALLY GOT A CAR!
(Or rather, I have a second car as opposed to always waiting for the only car we had, which I rarely got to use.)
I even managed to resolve my driving license issue on Thursday. I have started having a maid (Ms.Daisy Duke!) come over every Thursday and I told her.."Forget cleaning..I will pay you to just take me to get my license made!" Went to the DMV and got my passing test converted into a license.
So now I have a Michigan Drivers license which means no longer stressing out if my British license will cause an issue with a cop.
I now have a car so it means no more grocery droughts-I can just nip out and pick up food for the family (NO MORE EATING HOT CHEETOS!! 6 large bags eaten in the past week-60 hours in the bathroom suffering from Irritable bowel syndrome!!!)
Today as I drove behind the new car which hubby was driving home from the dealership, I amazed at the fact that the car in front of me was actually mine. I also shed a few tears (TIP: do not get teary eyed whilst driving 70mph and loads of eye makeup. It makes for very blurry vision!)
I thanked God for granting me dignity during my long wait. I didnt scream or throw fits at not having a car and my patience has finally been rewarded. Its not a fancy car but it has 4 wheels and will get me from point A to B. Yes I have had moments of major frustration but always kept my dignity about my situation.
I wish my mom was here to see this moment in my life because she is the one who constantly consoles me and always assured me that all would end well. Thanks mom for all your support and prayers.
And thanks to all you of wonderful guys who were rooting for my situation to get better. I truly believe in prayers and best wishes and all of you have been amazing rocks of strength for me.
I havent even called my mom to tell her the good news but I wanted to share my happy news with you all first! Thanks for everything guys! (after all this being cooped up...I am thinking of visiting everyone on a super long driving tour!!)

HOW WONDERFUL!!! I'm so glad for you -- that much Cheetos would give anybody a gut ache! I'll bet Ms. Daisy Duke was surprised to have alternative duties!!

A huge congrats!! From someone who's had a relatively late start w/ driving, and gettign a licence in this country (my old international permit was pretty useless!!), I can well understand your former plight--and current excitement in getting the licence! As I was telling some friends when I got my licence at 32 y.o, that it was harder--and more exciting to finally conquer and get my DRIVING licence--than my Ph.D! So, once again, I am THRILLED for you!! Now Liberty won't be Caged anymore!!!! :)

Wow, I thought it would take longer for you to get this resolved so I'm so happy for you that it's a done deal already. Have fun with your new found freedom! You certainly deserve it for being so patient and understanding!
