HAPPY NEW YEAR

This will be our third New Year's out on the road. It's hard to grasp how quickly the time has passed since we began this amazing journey of driving truck and seeing the Country. This past year we delivered windmill hubs in the middle of an Indiana field covered in snow, and had our first meal at a Cracker Barrel Restaurant and have been trying to find one with truck parking every since.

We managed to forget our Anniversary until reminded of it by my Mother, and happened to be in Daytona Beach during bike week. We had our share of trips into the Great White North (Canada), and a drive through New York City during the day instead of night, and managed to see a lot of territory in between the two.

In May, Craig transferred from the boat fleet to the reefer division (TWT), and we got to know the Interstate 5 corridor real well. More importantly, we changed residency to Washington State, and finally realized our dream of putting a park model home on a little piece of land by the Pend Oreille River, in a place we call heaven.

As with the other years out on the road, we have had our challenges, but we have always persevered with a smile and a story to tell. We consider ourselves blessed to be making these memories together and having the time to share and enjoy each others company.

As this New Year comes knocking on our door, we look forward to it and are excited to see what adventures we will no doubt be exposed to and be eager to experience them together. We hope you all continue to come along with us on our journey.......... it's sure to be a fun ride.
