Phonix Arizona

Hi everyone,

Yes its me Sigrid this time, my causin Trudy has been updating for me which it has been a blessing. We are here in Arizona having a 34hr restart because I ran out of hours to drive and Tony had some left but to make it even we had to do this restart. Let me tell you it has been nice just not driving and just sitting around watching movies and checking my 500 e-mails. We are doing laundry and catching up on paperwork and just relaxing until we start again. We have actully been here since saturday night so we start working again Monday Morning at 12am. Our working times are never the same which I am finally getting use to but its still a little hard. We are planning to be home for at least 4 days during the week of October 12th. Anyways I have more e-mails to check, please continue to give us comments because we will read them sooner or later.

God Bless
Take care
love the Gies's

Always an Adventure

Tony and Sigrid are now in California as they delivered their load this morning about 6:45am. Sigrid was very happy to sleep in and get a hot shower. They will be heading to Virginia this afternoon to take their next load. Sigrid has been doing better at driving during the night. Although she did tell me about her going the wrong way. It was Thursday night and Tony was catching some sleep. Sigrid was to go on I-64 instead of Hwy 64. I guess there's two 64's where they were at. Anyway, she's just driving along and Tony happens to wake up. He asks her where she's at and she tells him I-64. He tells her no, your on Hwy 64. So they had to turn around and get back to the right road. Luckily she had only been driving for about 20 minutes!! Yesterday they were in Wyoming and saw tons of gazelle's for which she was very excited to see. They are having a blast and as Sigrid told me this morning "I'm having the best time of my life".

Update

Hi there. This is Trudy, Sigrid's cousin. She wanted me to give you an update on where they are at. As of yesterday they were heading to Kansas. Sigrid is doing okay but gets a little nervous doing night time driving so please continue to pray for her. They are looking forward to seeing much more of the country. Please write on their blog as they do read the comments. Thanks so much.
