HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

First, we had a wonderful Christmas day with our nieces and their parents. Emily and Olivia, it was great seeing you!!!

WOW!! What a crazy three days!! We left Sunday evening to deliver our load to Chicago. Before we even cleared the load we were asked to move to Milwaukee, WI to stage for a late afternoon load. So much for getting to visit our cousins!! Maybe next time!

We met another couple who drive a Genie Express truck. Nice people...they live in Tennessee and were waiting to pick up a load at the same place we were.

We FINALLY got loaded about 9 pm and pulled out, headed for Atlanta. We literally got around the corner when they called and asked us to come back for three more pallets!! Finally we headed out for an all night drive to Georgia.

As soon as we delivered in Atlanta we were asked to move to South Carolina...they needed a truck there. Since we had 24 hours to get there, we stopped in for a much-needed oil change which took almost 3 hours. LOL

Sooooo we headed north on I85 to SC hoping for a shower and a good nights sleep. Maybe even the holiday weekend in the warm south. My mom is right...there's no rest for the wicked!! One hour north of Atlanta they called and needed us to return to pick up a load going to Martinsburg WV. During this whole time, poor Dana tried to get some much needed sleep. Badger Belly and Weasel Head enjoyed the warm Georgia sunshine and always having a warm body in the bed with them!!

Wow. Another all night drive....delivered in the most eastern part of WEST Virgina this morning. We took ourselves out of service to drive home to pick up new permits for the truck (since the old ones expire TODAY).

So, now you are caught up!! LOL We are home...ready to bring in the New Year...our 8th together. :) Saturday I'll take Alex back to Athens and Sunday we'll start again.

Here's wishing you a WONDERFUL new year. Love to all!! Hope to see you all at least once this year!!
