So a lot of things have happened since the last time I had
posted. I am really enjoying being back on the road. Sure, I am away from home
more, but it beats the daylights working at a job you can’t stand.
August 29th was our 25th wedding
anniversary, so to celebrate; Sherry came on the road with me that week. Ended
up being a short week, but I enjoyed her company all the same. We started out
on Tuesday, loading for Rhode Island, delivering Wednesday morning. Our reload
was in Connecticut. Once we were loaded, I knew we did not have enough hours to
reach the customer that evening and we could only unload after 7 PM there.
So we made it as far as Newport Maine and shutdown for the
evening. After looking at my logbook, I decided we would stay there and leave
late Thursday afternoon, for a 7PM delivery.
“You spent your anniversary in a truck?” people say. “Yup”,
I answer.
For me, it did not matter where or how we spent our
anniversary together, as long as we were together.
The past 30 years have been amazing, 25 years married to the
girl who stole my heart the first time I saw her. Three awesome children, I am
so very proud of.
Looking forward to Sherry coming with me again. And so, the
adventure continues.
