New Car Insurance Premium Per 6 Months

Today was a small victory for us but in a broader view, having a driver’s license is actually a big deal.  Let me count the ways:
The Positive
1. I don’t have to drive him to school or pick him up.
2. He can do his own errands now or mine.
3. He starts his deeper independence training-being responsible for his own safety.
4. I don’t have to stay late at night waiting for him to be picked up from a friends house.
5. His freedom to do anything expands.

The Negative:
1. Insurance cost went up by almost $1000.00/year
2. Need for car #4
3. A slight anxiety of his whereabouts.
4. Me an my wife will now start thinking about“empty nest”. Today is the beginning of it.
5. My time with him will be less.  He won’t need me anymore.

Kids grows really fast and that is why as a parent, we ought to spend more time with them at any moment when they are available.  I have no regrets in the way I raised them and I know that from their hearts, they know we did everything for them.  To Brent and Brittney, you will always be in my heart.

Even if you guys are grown up now, this video always reminds me of how cute you were.
