Hi everyone,
Just an update on what's going on with us. Tony just did mentor training in Edwardsville Kansas today (Friday Aug 31st. He is doing fine just trying to stay busy and is now waiting for a load. I sigrid is in the midst of driving the truck thru mountains, downtown Lewiston Idaho, really narrow and scary roads. Let me tell you it is very different driving a big truck and it can be very dangerous if you don't stay alert and you have to always have control of the vehicle. Anyways I have a state driving test on Wednesday. Please pray that I pass because I m very nervious, and kinda scared but God will be with me. My last day should be next Thursday or Friday Sept 6th or 7th. So I am hoping I will be home next weekend before I start orintation in Sumner Washington. In fact I am trying to get Tony to have a load this way so I don't have to take the Greyhound bus back to Portland because its 8hrs and 30 min by bus and only 6 hrs from Portland. Anyways we both hope to see you next weekend. Take care and God Bless.

Hi from Idaho
Hello to all of my family and friends,
Well, Here is another update, Tony is in Edwardsville Kansas at the terminal getting his truck worked on so he is not sure when they will have it done, maybe tommorrow. I sigrid has passed most of my tests but is having trouble backing up to a dock and I failed my skills test due to that, so I have to retake it Tuesday morning or afternoon also I have to pass my pretest, knowing everything on the trailer and truck before I go on the road, If I do not pass those I will have to stay another week and try again and after that they send me home if I do not pass, I do not want to stay another week so I am determine to pass on Tuesday so PLEASE PRAY that I will pass everything tommorrow {Tuesday}. Well I miss all of you very much and may God bless you. I will talk to you all later I am going to try to relax and take a hot bath and pray to free my mind of everything. Talk to you soon.

Hi my wonderful friends and family,
Just an update of what's going on with both of us, Tony is on his way to York P.A, If you all don't know what the state is please call me. I just can not spell it. He ran out of his 70 hrs to wrk for the week so he is on a 36 hr restart, so basically he can not work for that time so he is trying to stay busy and watching movies, your more than welcome to call him, I have been studing over and over and I am passing all of my tests so far, I just got my CDL A permit and I just got my class score up to 80%. I would like it to be higher so I am trying to study more and I have LOTS and LOTS of homework. We sure want to say thank you for all of your prayers and surport, it means alot to us. I better let you go for now, I have 2 more tests to do tomorrow and 3 next week than 1 drivers test a couple days after that and buy then I will be on the road with Tony training me for 6 wks and then I have 1 more driving test to do, so you may all know I am tired of taking tests but at the end it will be all worth it. Please pray that I will continue to pass them, God did not bring me this far to fail and I am not going to give up even tho I want to. It will be nice to see my Tony I miss him lots.I am hoping to come home for a visit before I train on the road. See you soon

Well everyone,
I Sigrid made it to training, please continue that I pass all the tests, its very challenging but I did not make it all the way here to fail and besides God is in control and I have alot of people praying for me. I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. I have tests and classroom Monday thru Friday 5am to 4 pm so I am very tired. I did pass the physical, for those who were praying for me, thank you very much. I just have alot of studying to do and boy I will be glad when its over. Well Tony has been very busy from going to seattle to portland, bend Or to california and I am not sure where he is going next, I miss him already. All I know he is working lots of hours and he is almost to his 70 hrs so he may have to take some time off having fun somewhere in the states.
Ok everyone I really need to study and get up at 4am so I better let you go for now and I will talk to you soon and please leave your comments.
God bless

In California
Hi everyone,
Wow God is good, it has been one adventure after another. We are in LA waiting for another load towards Portland. So we are trying to come home. I sigrid actually need to be home this weekend because swift in lewiston Idaho needs some info before I start training on Tuesday August 14th so I will get home either by truck or walk or hitchike, ride abike or perhaps a GRAYHOUND BUS, I am sure you get the point. So we will see you soon. Thanks for all of your prayers and comments.

Leaving New Mexico
Hi. Tony and Sigrid finally saw Bourne Ultimatum. It was an awesome movie and Sigrid encourages everyone to see it. They are on their way to El Paso, TX to pick up a load. Hopefully, it won't be any horses or cow pucky. They will drop it off in Tucson, AZ and pick up another load to deliver to Santa Ana, CA. They appreciate all your comments and prayers. They are hoping to come home for a visit after unloading in CA. Blessings to you all.

New Mexico
Hi everyone, first of all I want to say thank you for all of your wonderful comments and prayers. When we get a chance we always try to check our blog. From Phoenix, AZ we delivered to Tracy CA then we tool another short load from Tracy ca to Merced CA.
then we picked up from riverbank CA and are delivering that to Deming, NM on Monday morning.
We arrived in Deming on Saturday night so tomorrow we are planning on resting, exploring the town and possibly seeing the Bourne Ultimatum. We will probably be back in Portland for the weekend of the 11th -- as that date draws nearer we will keep you updated.
God Bless, the Gies's
