update time...

Tuesday 26th February:
Goooood morning all,
I'm feeling absolutely wonderful this morning - I got a full night's sleep and didn't even wake up during the night like I normally do YAY. Although apparently I had a conversation with Patrick and I seemed coheriant. He asked me to turn on the lights and he said I responded with something like "okay" and then nothing lol. Oh well. Then it turns out he accidently set the alarm for 7:30pm instead of 7:30am heh but we woke up a little after 7am anyway by a message on the com system for the truck.

Yesterday wasn't too bad. We got to where we had to deliver on time, and the roads weren't bad - just heavy traffic. Once we got out of there we drove to Tacoma to the truck stop. Unfortunately the truckstop is entirely too small, and you need at least 2 other drivers to help you back into a spot - IF you're lucky enough to find an empty spot. Thankfully we got one, and there were a couple of guys helping us get in there okay since its small and akward at the the best of times, there was a lot of traffic trying to get in and out. So we had a nice relaxing afternoon there, and I ended up going to bed about 7:30pm.

Not sure where our next destination is, we've just finished unloading and have to sit and wait. YAY.


Wednesday 27th February:
They ended up having us run around a little bit yesterday and by the time we got done the truck stop was full, and the nearest place to park wanted $20 for 24 hours (which is really damn expensive). So we stopped and grabbed food, and parked at the rest area for the evening (by the time we got there there was only a few parking spots left as it was). What time was it locally? only 3:30pm. Washington definately needs more truck stops!!!

About 8am (our time) we got our load info and had to return to the place we were yesterday to drop our trailer, then go to the other place we were yesterday and pick up our load. Its going to..drum roll please.... Wisconsin! YAY. Unfortunately we'll be there a few days too early for our home time but that just means they'll run us around illinois and wisconsin for a wee bit.

I should go and post this, sorry about my lack of updates lately. Things have been somewhat routine, basic day to day stuff...driving driving and sitting waiting for reloads. Its all good though.

An update on our moving to Aussie... We're waiting on our tax cheque which shouldn't be too far away. After that we'll book our tickets for 2 weeks in advance and start getting rid of our things here. Woohooo for fitting everything I have in a suitcase! Not a problem though because we can sell things like dvd's/gaming consoles, games for our Nintendo's etc.

All righty gotta run,
love you guys xoxox
