We can hardly believe that Lily will be 16 in a few short months! She's been learning to drive since turning 15 last October, and she's become a good driver. We decided back in the spring that we wanted to go ahead and get her a car. One, she would actually practice driving in it with us instead of learning on our cars and suddenly start driving this on her own. Two, the car market is somewhat crazy right now, and it's next to impossible to drive a car off the lot. We were incredibly grateful when Grandpops and Grandma Jan also offered to buy her first car for her. We are very appreciative of their generosity. Ryan, Lily, and I started investigating and test driving, and we all landed on a Honda CR-V as being a great first car for her. It has a ton of wonderful safety features, and it comes in a beautiful "sonic gray pearl" which is something of a silver/gray/blue combination. It's a great car.
The car actually came off the factory line and arrived in Smyrna with 3 miles on it while the girls were at camp. Ryan and I picked it up one evening, and then surprised Lily with it when arrived home from Asheville. She was quick to name it Millie.
We pray she will stay safe and be cautious as she drives Millie in the coming months and years!
