Congratulations on passing the written test! I went through all of that in 1991 and am proud to say I passed Le Code on my first try, after a LOT of studying. But then, even after taking driving lessons in France to learn to manage a stick shift, and even after having driven for 15 years in the States with nary an accident nor a ticket, I failed the first driving test. How humiliating! They are very picky. I wish you luck.
And I'm sorry about the loss of your dear dog -- losing a precious pet is so hard.
Thank you! I really feels like a huge accomplishment, which sounds odd for what it is, but...it is a big deal. I've heard so many horror stories about the practical as well. I cringe to think of having to do either aspect more than once! The required sequence of checking mirrors, downshifting, even opening the driver's door with your right hand and not left is just comical at some point. I'm most paranoid about missing a priorité à droite and immediately failing.
I’m sorry about Zoe. She had a very beautiful dog life with the best parents a dog could ask for! She went on more adventures than 99% of humans. I know Etta is missing her sis. Sending love and hugs your way. Can’t wait to see you guys in T-minus 20 days!! Love you
I love “catching up” with you. And I know the chasm that Zoe leaves is huge. Hug Etta from me. Love y’all and best of luck with the license. Of COURSE Tennessee doesn’t have anything reciprocal with another country! 🤦🏼♀️
Right? It's such a random mix of states that have them. Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa...didn't see any of those coming lol. Some make sense, like Florida and Virginia (more people going back and forth I would think). But most made no sense to me.
I'll give Etta a huge hug and tell her it's from you. We love you!

OK, driving test update--I passed! 37/40. Now off to find a school for my practical exam :)

Heartbreaking about Zoe, so sorry for you both. Sending you love and hugs. ❤️
Thanks, Angela. It was definitely a big, big loss.
