12 YEARS

It seems like only yesterday, when Craig and I drove to Carmel to get married, but it was in fact twelve years ago.  For over half of those years, we have co-existed in a truck, with not more than three feet separating us for 24/7 & 365 days.  I'm sure a lot of couples wouldn't be able to do that, but there are a few I know that do, and I think they would agree, it's mandatory that you marry a person who is your best friend.

I know most of you are probably sick of hearing this same spiel every year on our anniversary, but there is not a day that goes by that we do not laugh and have fun.  All the romance in the world does not compare to being with someone who brings pure joy and happiness into your life every single day.  We've been  blessed since the day we met, and continue to be blessed by being able to create memories our on the road to last us a lifetime.
We were treated yesterday, by my twin Nieces, Jennifer and Stephanie, and Grandniece Gwendolyn, picking us up at the truck stop we were at and taking us into town for a bit of shopping and lunch.  It's nice that we have family along our normal routing to make these short times off the truck that much more enjoyable.

Today finds us with a trailer full of corndogs from Foster Farms, heading north to Clackamas for a Monday morning delivery.  The weather is great, our cupboards are full of food, and only 11 more day until our next home time, when we'll take a week off to open up the house, renew Craigs CDL, and get his annual DOT physical done.  Life is good!
