Provisional - but still legal!

I failed to report on a significant milestone at the Newton household - Holly passed her driving test (first try and received a 'nice job' note from the instructor in the comments box) this past Friday. David made the call to the insurance company to add her on the policy (I wasn't sure that I wanted to be the one to hear the cost of attaching a 17-year old driver) and just like that, Schnoogs has passed yet another mile-marker in the growing up process.

Of course...there are rules. She can't drive alone between the hours of 10 pm and 5 am, she can't drive anyone under 25 years old unless there is a licensed 25+ years (I fit into that category...barely) driver in the car and no cell phone at all - hands free or otherwise. Rules, yes. Limitations, it is true. Provisional, indeed - but it is still legal for her to drive (by herself) over to Target to shop for a few DVDs and then stop by Starbucks to pick up an iced caramel latte for her mom!
