Registering your vehicle is much more complicated in Texas than in Indiana. Texas requires your vehicles to be inspected each year, then you must file for license plates at the Tax Assessor's office. I mean, of course they can't make your life any easier by doing everything in the same place, right? We took our inspection form and all other required documents to the courthouse only to find another wrap-around line. You know, like the lines at Cedar Point or King's Island. Except, instead of a thrill ride at the end of the line, you get to sign your name, pay a bill and come home with stickers, plates and a lot of paperwork.
After a long day, we survived and are officially Texans... even though in our hearts, we will always be Hoosiers.
In other news, Ryan is still loving his job - he's learning a lot and even teaching me some things about how his profession relates to every day life. I started coaching at a cheer gym a few nights a week. It feels great to get back in the gym and I'm excited to experience Texas-style cheer. For anyone who doesn't know, cheer was basically founded in Texas.
The "fall" weather here feels like the beginning of summer back in the midwest. Temperatures are in the mid-to-high-80s during the day and low 60s overnight. A "cool down" is heading our way with highs in the 70s, haha. Maybe it will feel cool to us by Christmas.
We can hardly believe that we've been here for a month already, but life is really starting to feel "normal" again. Except for the fact that we aren't spending our fall tailgating at our alma mater. Sigh. Go Hoosiers!!
Much love,
The Clayton's
