Send Josh the Love!!


So for the second time in as many years, we have just sent off the paper work for Josh to get his license. He is petitioning some board in IL so that some people who have never met him can judge his ability to be a worthy citizen. The last time we went through this, they denied him. We had our hopes high and were pretty bummed when he got turned down. This time we are trying not to get so excited, but it's hard. Josh has not had a license since I have known him. Being the only driver is really annoying sometimes. For both of us. Josh has acquired nerves of steel since we have been married. One of the rules in our car is that the passenger is not allowed to flinch at the driver's actions. So if I hit a curb, or run a red light at a major intersection like I did last week, Josh just sits there (sweating) quietly. Another rule in our car is that the driver of the car gets to pick the volume at which the music is played, along with ultimate decision of the music. Since I suffer from a severe, yet undiagnosed case of acute hearing, I prefer to have the music at a nice unobtrusive back ground level. Josh on the other hand likes to rock out loud and proud while in the car. So, let us all think positive thoughts for the next few weeks because I think Josh finally deserves to listen to his music loud. It has only been six years after all.

no flinching isextreme, I think possibly no screams of terror allowed would be a better compromise. after all your driving record ?????? you might need some back seat driving. but look at the bright side soon Jsh will be the dd chuck

I liked all the question marks that Dad put after your driving record because it's so true. You're crazy. I think that flinching is an automatic reflex so I still do it even though it annoys Chase...
