It has been two years since I first learn how to drive. In Georgia I was driving myself around, to work, to hospital, to malls and other places. But still I am so chicken when it comes to expressways or interstates. When we got here I know driving experience will not be the same. It is always raining and snowing here so the roads may not be friendly at times. Another thing the traffic is heavy and all the places I need to go to I have to drive through Interstate 5. I-5 is the long haul connecting Northwest to South west, that is California all the way to Washington and Canada.
Everyday I watch traffic updates and it's crazy. My first time driving was on January 4. Hubby let me drove his Ford Explorer going to post. And we drove early evening. The traffic is moderate to heavy plus I was so uneasy driving for the first time his truck. I was confident because hubby was beside me. Then came the next day when I send him off. Going back home with my feelings in turmoil due to hubby's departure for Iraq. It was my first time to drive here in Washington at night, raining and alone. I didn't know what to feel but I was very glad we arrived home safe and no glitch. I am thankful and proud of myself because I did it. There will be another time that my courage to drive on I-5 will be tested. I am praying so hard that day will be a great day and me and Shiloh will be safe.
