Okay, It wasn't that hard

In a previous post, I posted about how much I hate parallel parking. I have to confess something to you all, I don't really hate it anymore.

My wonderful hubby took me out driving today. My road test is next Wednesday morning so I wanted to get a little practice on the few things that I was worried about. My biggest issue was parallel parking. I did it a few times with my driving instructor over a year ago and it was just awful. I never got it down.

Today, Nick coached me on how to do it right.

-I want to point out that my husband is the most amazing and supportive person I've ever known. He has been telling since I booked my test that he thinks I could pass the test no problem. I didn't believe him until today.

Anyway, He told me exactly how to do it, and I was able to do a parallel park in 1 try! I was so proud!! The next time I tried it, I totally botched it. I told him not to tell me what to do. I totally effed it up. I did it a few times and got it right. A few more times and I hit the curb. Finally we realized what I was doing wrong and was able to do it no problem.

I'm very proud of myself. I didn't think I'd be able to do. I really didn't. I did reverse stall parking as well today. It was as easy as it was the first time I did it with my instructor. Nick hates the way I do it though. I don't care what he thinks on that one, I got it done and that is all that matters in my opinion. My tester isn't going to care HOW I did it, just that I did it.

Now I just wait for November 2nd and hope and pray my nerves don't take over.

Don't worry, I'll let you know how it goes.

XOXO
