bella is sixteen. which means bella is driving. and not just driving but rockin' the driving. the above photo shows bella after her first wild drive which means her first driving out on the public roads and not in the large city park where she logged most of her early miles (the muny parking lot has probably taught more people to drive and park than any other blacktop within 500 miles).

and not only did bella do this first wild ride but she also slayed this park job which is what has her out and celebrating so.

and while this is all fine and impressive i should add that bella can also drive a stick-shift.

and while that my seem plenty fine and impressive, i taught her how to do that when she was 13.

so this whole driving at sixteen is only mostly impressive.

but that park job is a beautiful thing as i know, we all know, plenty of grown folk who can't center a car in a painted box with that sort of precision.

go bella!
