All I know right now is that several hours ago, mama was in Arizona (at Wal-Mart buying a memory card for her camera!) on her way to California again (she said they'd probably be there before dark). Daddy had been in Austin, TX and was on his way to Georgia.
... just so you'd know what I know...

just a quick note
mama jumped online SUPER early this morning for a quick update before taking a nap...
--------------
"We just got to Carlisle, PA about an hour ago (note from nicole - i think it was around 1:30 a.m. EST). We deliver in Harrisburg at 6 a.m., so we are sitting in a truck stop parking lot getting a little nap in before then. We are going to do a Wal-Mart run in the next couple of days because we are both out of laundry soap, so I will see about getting a memory card for my camera there.
I still haven't taken many pictures as there just isn't enough time.
I talked to Bruce Sunday morning, and they were at the Fontana terminal for the day and will deliver mid-morning Monday. Then we will both be on another run, so maybe can meet up this time??
got to go...love ya, mama

The Second Week is Done!
I got an email from Mama yesterday and then we chatted a few minutes on Gmail last night...
here's what she says:
"I'm doing well. I tried to send a good update late Monday night - I think about the weekend - but after spending a long time on details I never could get it to send?!?
I've been very busy - I'm driving at least 500 mi everyday, and most days a little over that. We are presently in California, LA area, waiting to get orders on where to get next load.
This was 3rd delivery in calif.
If you look at a map I have pretty much been in the south west of the country - Calif, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and a little in Missouri.
I talked to dad a minute this morning. He just delivered in Pennsylvania and was headed to Mass. to get a load of plastic. He said he had delivered part in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and the rest in California, but I'm not sure where. He followed the toronados the other night and then is back up in the northeast and Great Lakes area with snow again now.
The only weather I have really had is wind, rain, and fog, but it's mostly sunny.
We have 4 more weeks and then the big test! Yes, I am starting to worry already, so pray we learn all we need to pass and be able to start making some money and be able to come home and see everyone! We really miss you all but I am having a good time and not regretting any of the experience this far.
love ya, mama"
When we talked online last night, she said they had gotten orders to go to Arizona and were heading toward the east coast - and Daddy was headed toward California - but because of the way they'll be coming from their pickup spots, they won't cross ways on the road... :o( Wouldn't that be a fun thing? If they got to meet up at a truck stop? Ha!
Thanks for reading and keeping up! Pray that the rest of the 4 weeks goes by fast and that they are well prepared for their testing that comes at the end!
