Changes!

I have some exciting news! I will first start with a little background and then tell you sort of like when tv programs advertise something and they place it at the very end so that you will be forced to watch all the way to the end. haha, I'm just kidding of course but doesn't that drive you nuts?

Anyways, my husband Dale has been a truck driver since he was 19, he's 40 now. He has been working with the company the last company for 13 years driving on the highway, now I should clarify what "on the highway" means, for truck driving families this does not always mean the same thing. Our friend 'D' works "on the highway" but he is gone for months at a time, his family really only see him at major holidays, I can't imagine what that must be like. Dale's "on the highway" means driving 2 trips a week to Alberta, he has gone as far as Winnipeg, so he's home sometimes 1 night during the week and then 1 or 2 nights on the weekend depending on how the week goes. We have been looking for something else for him to do, another place to work or something that would allow him to be home more for a long time and have been praying about it for years. Well something finally came up about 3 weeks ago, about the same time I started going through my health issues. A friend of my Dads (my dad is a mechanic) had a tow truck and had it for sale, and he had a contract with the kidney foundation hauling away cars that people donated to them for scrap. Well we bought it and Dale is on his second week doing it! He is home every night and we are all loving it!!! We are trying to get more contacts and Dale is handing out business cards everywhere so hopefully that will get our name out there and Dale will get even more work.
