The Time has come to..Climb!

Ok..I think I'm finally climbing in the truck with Mr. B this weekend. I'm feeling kinda hesitant because it's here and it's a new thing..but after the hump I'll be ok.
So many things to do to get ready..take Max to friends house, get linens for the truck, buy snacks, clean out fridge, empty trash, laundry, and most importantly PACK!
We have no idea how much 'living' on the road will cost..food is going to be a big expense I'm sure. Is this even going to be worth it, if we spend too much on the road, what's the point? I know it's a job, but staying ahead of the game would be nice, we shall see...

We have family starting on this journey too, Bruce's cousins are starting the same trucking adventure too..I read her blog, smile and know she is experiencing the same emotions and questions I have..plus a few more, she is learning to drive one of these big rigs..Paula you are very brave! I'm proud of you and Gary..starting a new career is not easy, especially at this time in our lives, and you guys have a grand-baby on the way!
I don't think I could do it, maybe 20yrs ago..lol.

Not sure where we will be going from here, or there, but it's alright because I'm with Mr. B and so very proud of him, and Jesus will take good care of us.
Hope this adventure works for us..keep us in your prayers, cause we sure need them.
Well, I'll do my best to keep you informed thru the blog and facebook..stay tuned!

A Trucker's Prayer for His Wife

This is a poem Mr. B gave me, it is printed on a bookmark and it's so good, so I have to share.

Lord, as I travel the highways of this vast land, I pray for the one with my ring upon her hand. I watched her, Lord as she stood at the door, And gave a soft, gentle sigh as I left once more.

She raised her hand and waved with a smile; She knows I'll be back in a little while. But 'til then, she'll be busy with lots of errands to run. It seems like her work, Lord, is never quite done.

Please let her know as I travel on my way that I'm ever so thankful for our wedding day, For all the times we've sheared together, All the sunny days, and yes, even the stormy weather.

Each night I'm gone, Lord, her presence I really miss, But I love coming back to the "welcome home" kiss. It takes a special lady to be a truck driver's wife. So bless her in a very special way, the lady in my life.

Amen

Isn't he thoughtful? I love him so..I pray, heavenly Father, you would keep your hand on him and protect him while he drives the highways to provide for our family. He is so special to me and to You too, thank you for creating him just for me..
