Finally, its happened to me...

It was another long, hard day at work. I left our after-school faculty meeting feeling pretty negative, and pretty wiped out. And then- it happened! They told me the car was ready to drive!

Of course, it wasn't really. I had to wait another 30 minutes waiting for the right guy to show up with the keys. But then it really was mine to take home.

And there I was- at school, alone. Em had called in sick, and she was meant to be the driver.
Did I have it in me? Could I get our beautiful baby home alone?

I certainly didn't think about it much- because as soon as I got that AC cranked, I was outta those gates!
It was a pretty uneventful ride- I even tackled some U-turns! No problems.

We'll drive it to school for these next two days, and it will be waiting for us when we come back from Zanzibar! How exciting! Its a whole new world out there!
