I should check the tire pressure after I have driven for a few miles to make sure the tires are at proper operating temperature before I check the pressure right? If not, I will get an incorrect reading right?

Nope - you should check them cold; if they're warm, they will be at 2-4 psi higher pressure than when they're cold. Manufacturer's tire pressure recommendations are for a COLD tire. You'll find this in your Owner's Manual too. :beer
