You'll all be glad to hear that... WE PASSED!!!

We are now both the proud possessors of provisional Californian driving licences - we have to now book in for the practical driving test (yikes!) - and then, we can get the real thing!

Ed and I were both pretty confident before we went in, but then there were quite a few tricky questions, such that we were both VERY nervous as we stood in line to get our tests marked... but to our HUGE relief we both nailed it - each getting only 2 errors! Phew!

AND I have a happy husband! We picked up our swanky (bottom of the range - but still a significant upgrade from the fiat punto!) new car today - an Audi A4 in dark, metallic silver... very cool... let's keep everything crossed that I don't crash it!

I am off to the church women's retreat in a few hours... am looking forward to it although feeling quite nervous too... and then we move into our new apartment on Monday! We are not sure when we'll have Internet connection up and running, so apologies if you have to wait a few days for the next blog post... I'll try to include photos of our new apartment next time! Eeeeeeeek! How exciting!
