Playing in Traffic!
I got to play in traffic tonight! By choice! Well sort of! We went out and practiced my driving. We go to this business complex, I think I've mentioned it before. It's good, because it has lots of stop signs and turns.
But Carl suprised me tonight and wanted me to drive out in traffic. He had me turn out on Mckellips first. (a main st we live off of). And then back in, then HE got brave and had me drive out on to Greenfield. He had me drive the other LDS stake center up the street on Adobe. I had lots of cars around me. But I didn't panic. My heart wasn't really pounding but my legs and arms still get really shakey and numb. But it's getting easier. My left turns are really good, but my right turns still need work.
It rained most of the this morning. At least in the east valley it did. Although I talked to Uncle Dale tonight and he mentioned they have been getting a lot of it as well over in North East Phoenix. Cassie moves into an apartment over by MCC next week, so it will be nice to have her a little closer!
