Officially Texan... and Legal!

I want to let everyone know a little secret. I was never officially, legally a Hoosier. When we moved there in 2002, I still had a Texas driver's license that didn't expire until October 2008. So I kept it. Nevermind that you are supposed to get an Indiana license within the forst 30 days of living there. Nevermind that my mom moved away from the address listed on my TX license the year after we moved to Indiana. Nevermind that I was not actually a Texan by residence. What mattered was that I was still a legal card-carrying Texan! It was kind of funny on the rare occasion that I would write a check at a store and they would ask for my license. Then they would ask, "Oh, are you from Texas? Did you just move up here?" And I would respond with something like, "Ummm. We've been here a while." Then we ended up moving back to Texas only months before my license would have expired and I would have faced officially becoming a non-Texan.
Well, friends, I am now a renewed Texan until the year 2014! I just renewed online- how cool is that?! It even allowed me to change my address, so now I am actually legit too! It feels so good to be Texan AND legal! :) What is really funny is that I had that picture taken in 2000, so I will look 24 on my license when I am really 38. Except that I still look the same now as I did on my permit from 1992. That's a little sad. Maybe I need one of those Mommy haircuts or something...
