Driver's License...why is this so hard?

My big plan for today was to go to the Driver's License place and finally obtain a shiny new Texas driver's license. I figured that if Brittney got her kids taken away for not having a valid license for the state she lived in, *wink wink* I'd better get on that so I can keep my kids! It has taken alot for me to finally let go of my Utah DL and make the switch, but I was all mentally prepared to do it. I got on line this morning to make sure that I have all the info I need to do it, and it says that we have to register our cars in Texas before we can get DL's for Texas. And to register, you have to take it to get it inspected (which I just did in April) for safety and emissions, and then pay out the nose to register it. There is a title fee, and transfer fee, a paperwork fee and a registration fee. Then, to get my DL there are more fees. Forget it, I'll do it later! I've got a ton of other things to do today!
I almost forgot, last Sunday night, our ward had a special little meeting to recognize the kids who had earned their Faith in God awards in the last few months. Tyler had earned his so they asked him and the others who had received it, to get up and tell what their favorite part was. It takes 4 years to earn, and he worked hard on it on his own. He is such an independent and responsible little boy. I guess "little" isn't the right word. But to me he will always be little, even when he is 6' 3". We were very proud that he stuck with it and finished it!
Here is Tyler in June with little PJ, who now lives with Rick and Becky in Turkey! Ty is a great cousin! We miss you PJ!

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
