THE EAGLE HAS LANDED

I am happy to report that we arrived in Selma safe and sound. I'm sure if you listened carefully you would have heard my "hallelujah" as we passed out of Texas and into New Mexico. Craig traveled very comfortably in the car without much pain. We are both anxious to meet with the Doctor on Monday afternoon to see what the plan of attack is going to be to get Craig back onto his feet again, and the both of us back out on the truck.


I took these pictures the first night in the hospital when we thought a couple of days of rest would fix the problem. Little did we know then, what challenges awaited us during the days that followed. I found that in a crisis, neither one of us would allow the other to get discouraged. That no matter what, we are and always will be a team. But most importantly, we want to relay our thanks and gratitude to all of you for the well wishes, prayers, and positive thoughts you have sent our way. They were a source of strength to us both during this difficult time.


Additionally, we would like to give a big "thank you" to our Company, System Transport, for going beyond what we ever imagined a company would do for an employee. We consider ourselves extremely blessed to be working for such a fine organization that truly puts their employees first and treats them like family. A big shout out to the boat fleet dispatchers, Katie, Kathy, Donna, and Matt for their concern, understanding and help and especially to our contact person during this injury, Jennifer Siegel, who was the one we leaned on most to help and who rose to the occasion always putting us first. We couldn't have gotten as far as we have without her help and empathy.


As soon as we know anything, we will pass along the information. Until then our dream is still alive and well and tucked safely away until we can unpack it again on the truck and drive off down the highway once again.
