Indiana... "I"

Indiana... "I" can't believe how ridiculously hard it is to obtain a new drivers license?!.

In our case.. The auditor's office needs verification from Eric that he is a current resident of Indiana. That either means having to obtain a state ID or taking the ridiculously hard drivers test. Mind you... No two tests are alike, this means that if you fail the first time, you can forget trying to figure out the correct answers before taking the drivers test for the second time.

We never knew that if you live out of state and move to Indiana. You are required to take the Indiana drivers written test. This is a computer test with 50 random questions and if you are not familiar with laws of rural areas and farm land. You are most likely going to have to take the test a few times around in order to pass. Eric was warned, even from those who work at our local BMV, so imagine my surprise when he passed the test this morning. On the very first try!

IMPRESSIVE!

Since I just renewed my license and car tags. I didn't have to go through Indiana's state license hurdles. I also don't have to provide requested information for our local auditor since the loan for our lemonade home is solely in Eric's name. We got smart! By using Eric's VA benefits and keeping the loan only in his name, we still have the option for a mortgage loan in my name. With my OCD credit monitoring, we should be A-OK, but as for now we still need to vacate our current home so the bank can proceed with the appropriate litigation steps. Yea... Right! Easier said, than done! We are still waiting on the county in Nevada to contact us back with the next round of state testing. In the meantime, we have still been searching for a temporary rental home. We also just had to fork out additional money in order to apply a few more Band-Aids around the foundation. Mother Nature hasn't been too kind to anyone through out this winter season. The crazy, constantly changing extreme temperatures, has our home doing another major shift. $2,200 later... A few more Band-Aids to hold us over. At least so our home doesn't decide to finally come crumbling down on us.

So much for the disability benefits in the state of Indiana when purchasing a home. It won't matter with the upcoming tax breaks we are suppose to receive starting in the spring. We will be lucky to just have a home that is still standing. HA!

All is not lost. At least we can still enjoy the peaceful evening walks along the river trails...
