I found this sweet song today. It is about marriage and love and all that good stuff. After I watched this video three times, I bought it off Itunes. I never buy songs. You have to see it!
ps - can't you imagine Mom and Dad dancing at the end of the video?

Eeeeeek
Buckle your seat belt - Hannah is behind the wheel!
Yesterday Hannah took the South Dakota "driver's permit" test and passed! The only question she got wrong was: "How far ahead should you turn on your turn signal?" and she answered: "Several blocks ahead!"
No, actually, that is a question that Heather got wrong when she took the driver's permit test (20 years ago.) Why I remember that is a mystery. I lost my purse twice today, but I remember the question my big sister got wrong on her drive-test....
Back to Hannah - she passed the written test, and they printed up her new Instructional Permit, right then and there.
Hannah has 3 months to drive with me before she can be a solo driver. I'm not sure if I'll survive. Today I picked her up from school and she jumped into the driver's seat. I had her drive all around the parking lot at school to warm up. Then she practiced parking and backing up (while I gripped the door handle.) Then we headed out in to the wide world.
We drove through the quiet neighborhood behind our house and she did great. I only had to grab the wheel and swerve to miss a parked car once....
I have a feeling she's going to want to drive to school tomorrow.... Wish me luck!

Bald Eagle
When we headed out to the car for school this morning, big fat snowflakes were falling. It was beautiful. We don't seem to get the big snowflakes very often.
By the time we got to school (a couple blocks away) it had stopped snowing. I dropped off the kids at school and decided our neighborhood streets were too messy with the new snow and with the snow from the weekend to try to jog on, so I headed over to Sioux Park to run on the path by Rapid Creek.
As I expected, the walking path had been recently snowplowed! I love how I can count on the path to be clean, even when the roads are a mess! I wonder whose job it is to plow the path?
Just as I was getting warmed up, another walker on the path pointed up and said "An eagle".
It took me a minute to find it up high in the branches of a tree over-looking the river. But there it was. A real live bald eagle. With a white head, dark body, and a yellow beak. I had to stop and watch him a minute to make sure he was real. He turned his head. Real! Cool!
But no camera.
I jogged and walked and waded through some snow for about 30 minutes. And the eagle was still there when I headed back to the car. I think he looked at me.
The woman who pointed out the eagle to me said that he was there yesterday morning, too.
I hope he's there tomorrow.
I'll bring my camera.
