Happy Father's Day!

Hubby and I, with our families
As thankful as I am for all the family that God has blessed us with, I am very thankful for our dads. My dad has been very influential in helping me become the person I am today. He is respected in his field of expertise and loved by his family, and he loves the Lord with all his heart. My father-in-law is also a strong man of God. He is a man of good character, one that my husband and I look up to and value his wisdom. We are very thankful for our fathers' involvement in our lives, both during our childhoods and now in our adult years. The blessing of a Godly dad cannot be overstated and is one of the great joys of our lives. Thank you, dads, for being there for your families!

Life Lately

G. W. Bridge, New York
Whew... Life has been crazy lately! It's been awhile since I posted here last, so I'll just give a quick rundown of some of our adventures. Let's see...

There was the load that we tried to deliver in the middle of a thunderstorm, only to be told that the facility was on a lightning lock down and couldn't unload us. We returned the next day and had to navigate a long gravel driveway under about a foot of water to get to the facility, which turned out to be a solar farm surrounded by cornfields!

There was the time we had to pass through New York City on Interstate 95, on the Friday before Memorial Day. Keep in mind, we never left the interstate, but it still took us about 5 hours to travel maybe 15 miles. I greatly detest stop-and-go traffic...

Downtown Boston 
There's been multiple runs between Columbus, OH and Boston, MA. We've come to know that route very, very well.

We both got sick again in the past week. Don caught a bad cold first and was unable to breathe for a few days. Then I caught it, and my body tried to flush it out, so I got to experience the joys of puking in a shopping bag while in a moving truck [again]. We're finally starting to recover now.

Camping with the kids
We recently took a small vacation and went camping. Don has kids from a previous marriage that live several states away, so we don't get to see them very often, but we made the drive out there and took them camping for a few days. It was a great time and we made some very good memories. We wish we could see them more often, but for now, we'll be thankful for the times we have.

Well, that about wraps things up for now. Hope y'all are doing well. Drive safe!
