Happy 16th Birthday, Nick! My days of driving kids around is over, just like that. It's hard to believe. It feels like the end of an era, probably because it is. Nick and his buddy, Chase (who turned 16 while in FL with us) went together to get their licenses. The day was much like it was 16 years ago. It was chilly and damp. After Nick got his license his first solo trip was to get his fishing license. I'm pretty sure we'll rarely see Nick now as he'll be fishing every lake, pond and river this side of the Mississippi. But this kid.... he's a character. His greatest gift is how he relates to people. Mike and I often joke that he could make friends with a bear. During his driver's test yesterday he conversated with his instructor, asking her what training is needed to work at the DMV. One might have thought he was just making small talk, but Nick told he had always wondered about that, so he asked. His passion for fishing is evident in everything he does. I've asked God to bless Nick's love of fishing abundantly and that He use it to glory Him. I look forward to seeing what Nick does over these next two years.
