What Day Is It?

From Inez:

We drove late the last 2 days, so I'm not even sure what day it is. We just got into Oklahoma City, OK a little while ago and got all my paper work finished and thought I would update a little.

We drove into Wilcox, AZ last night and Jim (my trainer) got up and drove from there to Carrizozo, NM where I took over today. We stopped, fueled, and ate in Amarillo, TX and then I drove on to here. While Jim drove this morning we went thru the White Sands area of New Mexico (where they do the missile test) and I got the camera out and finally took a couple of pictures.

Well, I had better get layed down because Jim will have this buggy rolling again by 5am and it is not so easy to sleep being bumped and rolled around constantly.

Love you all and can't wait to see everyone, this will pretty much end the 1st of our 6 weeks training, so keep praying we will learn all we need to.

little change in direction

i talked to mama a little bit ago and there were some changes...

She and her trainer didn't get that load to Washington - there wasn't enough time alloted to drive there (even if they had driven without stopping) so instead, got sent toward Okalahoma and Texas.

Daddy and his trainer headed up to Vermont to get a load and were going toward Missouri with it.

At least their trucks are facing each other at this point... :)

Just a Quick Update

Until Daddy and Mama learn how to use this, I'll try and update it when I talk to either one of them during their time away.

Last week, they left on a 6-week journey to train. They are not together during this time. Mama and her trainer left headed for Southern California and made it fine by the weekend. She fought off some sickness during that time, but is doing better now. Yesterday afternoon, while waiting at a stop, they were assigned a load to take to Washington. As far as I know, they left yesterday headed that way.

Daddy and his trainer left Mississippi headed for the New England area. I haven't been able talk with daddy yet, but mama said he was around the Boston area and even got to make a stop at his trainer's home (who lives outside of Boston). Sounds like he's doing fine as well.

If I hear more, I'll let everyone know!

p.s. - ways to pray for them:
~ Good health while they are away from home (and having to wait on insurance anyway!)
~ Wisdom and good memories as they study and learn and practice driving
~ Protection for their marriage as they are away from one another right now / that they would have times to be able to talk to each other and learn about each other's journey(s).

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting this blog. We hope to use this as a more efficient way to connect with friends and family as we begin this journey as a team... driving trucks all over the United States!

Check back soon for updates on where we are and what we're seeing!
