Unexpected Blessings

We will be going camping in the next week or so. We needed to get tags for our truck and our RV. It has been a year since our family has been able to go camping and we had just let the tags go on the RV. So on a very hot day in Texas - we headed out to get the tag for the RV. My husband went in and about 15 minutes later came out frustrated and mad. He had been told the year before that our RV did not have to be inspected because of its weight- but they were telling him that yes - it needed to be inspected. Another hoop to jump through. Now remember it has be very, very hot here in Texas this week - temps in the triple digits and heat index making it feel even hotter.

We drove home hooked up the RV and took it to be inspected. Once he was home - we headed off to the office to get the tags- probably about 8 miles away. When he went another lady who had worked there for a long time helped him and come to find out or trailer did not need to be inspected- and it wasn't suppose to be the 133.75 that our paperwork showed - so thankfully she knew what she was doing and changed the information so that the bill reflected what it should - making the bill just under $80 once they added a convenience fee for him to use a credit card.

We could have been mad when we were sent off to have the inspection and we were a little upset - and really perplexed at why it needed to be inspected even thought it was below the weight limit. But thankfully we just did what we needed to do - because even with our two trips to town and having the RV inspected and paying the convenience fee- we still paid less over all than our 133.75 bill had originally been. And we learned a lesson; sometimes when life doesn't seem to be working out - there may be an unexpected blessing on its way. Just be patient. :O)
