Update

Today is December 27th,

Sorry it's been a while since I have wrote on here! Our truck did get fixed by the 16th of December and we were on the road for a week again going from Portland to new Mexico then to Salt lake City Utah then back to Portland Or for the Christmas, but in the process of coming back home we were stuck on I-84 for 2 days but daily it would open for an hour or more but we always seemed to miss it so we decided to go another way 26 was an option so we did it and it was closed due to a fedex truck flipping but we went another way down the street and finally we made it to Clackmas Ore to deliver our load and boy the weather was bad even over there and then finally home on December 23rd and let me tell you it was so nice being home but some way or another we were in bad weather! We are so thankful God got us home safe, The holiday was great! We are so blessed to have a God we serve and celebrate the birth of our Jesus and that my friends is the reason for the season. Sure we all love gifts but that's not the true meaning of Christmas, anyways we hoped all of u had a good Holiday and May u be blessed with God's love. We left today (Dec 27th) and we are on our way to Nevada.
Talk to u all later and may u all be blessed!

He was born on his birthday and he died on his birthday and he was a true man of God. Johnny he's another guy who we loved very much, he was very funny and he loved to joke and tease people and he loved God very much!

Phonix Arizona

Today is Tuesday September 30th,

Hi everyone,

We have been very busy going back and forth to California to Florida, going thru all kinds of weather!! The south seems to be low on gas, gas stations are closed or people are waiting in long lines and it seems to get worse but the good thing is we need to remember that God is always incontrol with not only our lives but the world, its time to rely on God for everything not just little things. It has been truly amazing to see what's going on thru out the world and people rely on other things than God and that's sad. Today we are heading back to Florida but we stopped in Phonix Arizona at the terminal to do a class and laundry and take showers because we have not had time to stop much so we have an extra day to get caught up on stuff. Anyways we will be home on October 13th for a week for my sisters wedding and Tony will be preaching at our church on the 19th so that is a blessing and also I just found out another friend who is 2 months pregnant so that is exciting. Anyways I will let u know next week where I will be going next!!

May God bless you

resting

Today is Tuesday September 11th 2008

Greetings from California,

We have been very busy and all over the US!! Today 7 yrs ago I was at the airport with my sister, mom and at that time my sisters boyfriend Wayne, she was actually going to leave that day to Florida to go work at Disneyworld in the antimation dept. That day I will never forget!! People at the airport were yelling and crying and they shut down all flights and they told us to leave the airport and I was so shocked when I saw what happen on tv that day and it also affected my sister because she didn't leave until a couple days later and they were very slow at DisneyWorld and i am really thankful my sister didn't leave on an earlier flight also it affected my job, I worked for a survey company and they told me I could not work for about 2 weeks due to the fact that my main boss worked in one of the towers, that's where the main company was! Well that was a sad day for everyone and I ask please pray today for all the people who lost there lives that day.
Today my sister's career is different and she has meant a wonderful man name Shawn who she is marring in October of this year and she is doing well and I am now no longer with that company as you all know I am a truck driver and very happy and lucky to be with my husband Tony on the truck with me, lets all remember there is always something to be thankful and grateful for which we are the ones who are here today and that's what I am thankful for!! Oh I can not forget we will be heading to Maryland tonight!!

May you all be blessed and know that God is incontrol of our lives,

Greetings everyone,

Today is Friday June 20th 2008, We have been busy than slow but we always seem to get trips back and forth to Calfornia, We are resting today in memphis Ten, will be leaving tonight to go back to California, yippi for us. Anyways the weather has been pretty good for us besudes all the floods, freeways and of course towns are under water. What a mess it is, please pray for them. Tony is sleeping and I am getting caught up on my e-mail, laundry and hanging out in the laundry room away from everyone because it is quiet in here and I like it, I have time to think and pray. Anyways we will be home in 3 weeks. Um... Please pray for me (sigrid) I got another scale ticket and I am not sure what's going to happen, that day I scaled 2 other times and I was not over weight but when I went thru that one scale I was over weight so apparently those other scales were incorrect, at the shipper and our swift terminal. They will either suspend or fire me, not sure but its in God's Hands. All I can tell you truck driving isn't easy and I am very frustrated but I can't let it get to me at least I have other options but I won't worry about it until the time comes, until then please keep us in your prayers and thankyou for all the phone calls and e-mails, it means alot to both of us.

On the road again

Good afternoon everyone,


We just came from Florida and now in Denver Co. We will be leaving in the morning to go to Sydney Nebraska then to Arizona, so Tony is actually sleeping and I am checking my e-mail and took a shower at the terminal. We will be here until morning so We might just hang out. Anyways I have a funny story to tell you, we were on our way to Denver and we ran out out gas 90 miles away, talk about being embarressed, We have never ran out of gas before but apparenly our gas gauge was messed up and I was driving of course and all of a sudden our truck shut off On I-70 and Tony was sleeping but I got to the side of the road. We waited 2 hours for onroad came and saved us and boy was I glad to be on the road again. Anyways until next time. You all have a good day and God bless.

Taking a break

Hi everyone,

We are doing good. We drove thru Colorado mountains where the roads was bad and we had an empty trailer, not good for this kind of weather and I drove. I was sliding all over the road and thought I was going to Jack knife, We did see another driver in an accident, in fact he went almost off the cliff and he did not have chains on so before the police got there he was trying to put on chains and just for your information it is a $1000 dollar fine for truckers if they don't have them on. I hated that day, it took us 5 and half hours to get from Vail Colorado to Denver Colorado and of course they close the road after we were on it. At that time I had second thoughts about being a truck driver because it is a very dangerous job. But God always reminds me there is nothing he gives me that I can not handle and I praise God everyday because he is always there and always faithful and his love never fails. We are in Kentucky at a truck stop doing laundry, checking e-mail and planning to go out to dinner and a movie because we do not have to pick up our next load until 3am Tuesday Morning and then we will be on our way to Jacksonville Florida, which we have never been there so We are pretty excited, well I am anyways, really looking forward to all the rest areas (heehaa heehaa). Anyways we love to hear from you and please continue to pray for us when we go thru the not so good weather and we will talk to you soon.

Love ya and God Bless
