Age 1: Journal Entry by Mom:
At age one you're a tough cookie to get to sleep. I've now resorted to putting you in your car seat and driving you around
the block to lull you to sleep. It works!
Age 2: Journal Entry by Mom: We bought a new station wagon this year. Brown, with wood paneling on the sides.
Age 3: Journal Entry by Mom: I laughed this year when we brought scruffy to the vet in the car... Mommy left the window
down a bit for scruffy to stick his snout out in the wind and you giggled the whole way to the vet. The cutest thing.

Age 4: Journal Entry by Mom:
You're father drives over a half hour each thanksgiving to buy you girls solid milk chocolate turkeys. I must admit that
I'm more excited than you are and sorry for de-heading the bird (mommy loves the candy eyes on the chocolate turkey).
Age 6: Journal Entry by Mom: Before your communion today we drove to grandma and grandpas to take photos, although
only two blocks away we all drove to Our Lady of Peace together--you looked so cute.
Age 7: Journal Entry by Mom: Today I drove to Woolworths to buy you and your sister undergarments for your Easter
dresses. When I got home you wanted to immediately try it all on and even went upstairs to put on my high-heels, too cute
for words.

Age 9: Journal Entry by Me:
Not really driving but this summer Mom took me, Delayne and Laura to Adventureland and we all drove the bumper cars.
Age 11: Journal Entry by Me: Mom is dating Uzi this year and Uzi drops us off at school in his dune buggie. Also he
owns a flower truck and sometimes we stand under the train station and sell flowers.
Age 13: Journal Entry by Me: The boys in my class are such jerks, not sure why they can't just enjoy Halloweeninstead
they enjoy throwing eggs at every car that drives by! If that was my car I would be so mad.

Age 16: Journal Entry by Me:
Got my learners permit (so excited) try to get mom to let me drive around more. This year I wanted to get yogurt and
needed her to come along, when she said no I said, Id drive anyone, anywhere, anytime if I had my license! She made me write
that down, sign and date it and place it in a vase on the living room shelf.
Age 18: Journal Entry by Me: I am so psyched!!! Today mom surprised me with keys to my brand new car, a thunderbird!
Well not really new but I don't care. Mom always said if I saved my money she would match my savings to put towards a new
car--she actually put in more. Can't wait to drive it to the hamptons after prom.
Age 21: Journal Entry by Me: Dad tried to teach me to drive stick, that lasted for about 2 hours, umm fine with an
automatic ;)

Age 25: Journal Entry by Me:
After my car accident in the midtown tunnel this year we have all been extra tedious to make sure someone is always designated
the driver... this past year was a nightmare (see other journal for all details surrounding this major car accident).
Age 28: Journal Entry by Me: So in love and can't wait to get married. Slept over Brian's one night this year and
my car was actually stolen from in front of his house!! I woke up for work, got dressed went outside and looked around (no
car), I came back inside and said, "Was I drunk last night and you parked my car?" Brian looked at me like I was crazy and
I explained that my car was gone... We walked outside and noticed glass in the street. It was actually stolen! I couldn't
believe it, never really thought that could happen. Spent all day at the police station. Car found stripped the next day...Accuras
are apparently frequently stolen for their parts. Later in the year I bought a new ford escape.
Age 29: Journal Entry by Me: Driving in the limo with Mom and Kathy to the church on my wedding day no one said a
word! Would have been a good time for a cocktail but we forgot to bring any liquor, too funny, not a word.
