I think I'll stick to this kind of driving
A lot of you probably know that I hate to drive. Like so much. Living in Provo for the past 8 months, I never drove. And luckily I had a wonderful brother who loveddddddd to drive me places ;-) Well, while coming home from Utah, my dad had my drive from Grand Junction to Littleton. And there was some pretty heavy ski traffic towards the latter end of the trip. Suprisingly, I didn't forget how to drive, and even more shockingly...I enjoyed it! I loved going fast on those mountain roads. So I figured that would mean I'd be totally find with driving on some of the busy roads here in Littleton. Wrong. I mean, I've always been fine with streets like in a neighborhood and Bowles, which is pretty much the gateway to most of the places I would drive anyways. But, there is one road I have always hated. Wadsworth. It scares the heck out of me. I think I've driven on it like four times in my entire life. Three of which were before my car accidents, and at that point I wasn't afraid of the road. So anyways, a few days ago I needed to go and drop off an application at Hobby Lobby. That street happens to be just off of Wadsworth. I thought, well, I could drive that. I drove in crazy colorado ski traffic, Wadsworth will be no problem. Yeah. That didn't happen. Even the thought of it freaked me out. But I had my mom texting me, emailing me, and calling me from Idaho, and every time telling me I needed to go and turn that application in. I had no way out. Alas, then I thought I remembered a backway to Hobby Lobby. So I got in my car, drove through this neighborhood, Grant Ranch, went through this little shopping area where Wendy's is, drove through a random car store that was connected to the same place as the shopping area, and then found a back road that went straight to Hobby Lobby. Personally, I thought this took shorter than it did had i gone on Wadsworth. But morale of the story...I need to get over my fear of this random street. haha. But for now, I think I'll stick to the driving displayed in the video at the beginning of this post. He He.

I hope you get that job. You need to just drive on Wadsworth!! I was always scared, but it's really not bad at all, but don't do it when youare freaked out because it will make it worse and you will be all tense..haha
Good advice, Cindy! Here is mine--go out driving about 9 or 10 in the morning when there isn't really that much traffic. Practice changing lanes and you'll see that it's not that hard. You can do it!!
