An End to the Adventure...but another one begins.

Well, it was four months ago that I got onto the semi truck with my husband and boy was it an adventure. Four months of non-stop traveling and seeing the country! But after much prayer and thought we decided that it was time to leave the truck driving behind and settle down. In about two weeks we will have been married for 8 months and I can hardly believe how the time has really flown! I look forward to the many adventures and the blessings that will come from the Lord in our future. I guess our new adventure will be settling down. After all, I have never lived in Colorado before...

Winter Wonderland

I grew up in Texas where the sun pretty much shone bright during mostof the winter season. I remember seeing snow in my hometown just once while I was growing up there. Sure, I visited family in Iowa every other Christmas and saw plenty of snow, but I was never around it long, lol. Well, I must be making up for all of the times I wasn't around snow, because it's been fierce during our last couple days of travel.
While traveling from Oklahoma City to Denver we hit a big snow storm in Kansas that shut us down for about 15 hours. Poor Levi spent an hour the next morning tring to loosen the frozen truck breaks.
Now we are in Buffalo, Wyoming and the snow has been pouring down all day long. Here is what the interste looked like all day!

Well, Christmas time is almost here and eventhough being on the truck it doesn't feel as festive, I am excited. We are going to be taking a few days off at Levi's parent's house for the Holidays, and boy do I look forward to yummy homemade meals, hot chocolate in the evenings and lots of fellowship. =)

Incase I don't have the opportunity to blog before Christmas...Merry Christmas to all! =)
p.s. Don't forget to remember the reason we celerate this wonderful holiday.

TOP 5 THINGS to do to keep busy.

A lot of people ask me what I do to keep busy while always being on the road. To me, finding things to do hasn't always been easy, but here are the top 5 things I like to do.
1. KNITTING/LOOMING- I have often thought of starting my own website and selling the products I make. Scarfs and hats are my specialty! I like mixing colors and working with all kinds of yarn to get custom and unique combinations. I have been busy and have already made 6 scarfs and 4 hats this winter season!
2. CROSS STITCHING- I enjoy this form of sewing when I am in the mood for a heavy duty project. Each project takes me at least a couple of months to complete (when I'm working on it a little everyday.)
3. COMPUTER GAMES- I will admit that before I started my truckin' adventure I never played computer games, But now every couple weeks I get in the mood to play. I have played Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and Stronghold mostly.
4. AUDIO BOOKS/READING- I love to read, but sometimes there are just far too many bumps on the road to do so. So levi and I found this website named booksshouldbefree.com where you can download audio books for free. I just finished Jane Eyre and am currently on Tess of the D'Ubervilles. (no worries, the books are free because they were published before 1923 and the copyright has expired)
5. SUDOKU /WORD CROSS- Many hours have been devoted to these brain teasing puzzles. I just reciently learned Sudoku though, so I have been doing mostly those lately. I'm currently working throught the medium level puzzles.

The Christmas Season is close at hand!

The Christmas Season is close at hand! (26 more days)AND Levi and I thought it would be fun to start shopping! We went to Hobby Lobby three days ago and bought our Christmas stockings, Santa Hats, a 6-inch battery opperated light up Christmas tree, Christmas lights, a reindeer "costume" for the truck, and a tree orniment that says, "Our First Christmas, 2011". It was a lot of fun! Haha, So the Christmas tree is tiny and it isn't much, but the ornament kind of hangs on it alright. We certainly can't drive with the tree up, but we are putting it up every night when we stop. ALSO, we strung the Christmas lights up in the back of the truck where our bed is and at night we put up a strand of lights on the windshield. HEY this is our home for now so we're gonna decorate! The reindeer costume for the truck is somethin' else, lol. We have a big red nose on the grill and two antlers on the
windows. It's cute, but would probably look better on a small car.

We haven't started Christmas gift shopping yet because I think we are going to go out and buy each other gifts the day after Christmas so we can take advantage of the awesome deals. BUT we are going to do stockings ahead of time. =)

Well thats all for now, until next time!

Thanksgiving Vacation

Back in September I officially was able to join my husband on the road. My truckin' Adventure has been full of love, happiness & well...adventure! Levi & I got to go home to Pensacola for a 4 day vaccation and it was wonderful! We got to P'cola around 5pm on Thanksgiving day & went to check in at our hotel. We checked in and got cleanned up then went to Pensacola Christian College (I just graduated May 2011) to visit my best friend L.J. for Thanksgiving dinner. GREAT MEAL! After our oversized meal the three of us went to the campus sports center for some recreational fun, We went to the Alumni basketball game. (Have I mentioned I played college basketball for the school? I LOVE the sport lol) After the game we went to the Alumni fellowship party where we got free pizza, donuts, and sodas. NEXT up was rock climbing, Whoa! It certainly was physically challenging, but it was a blast.

On the next day, Friday, levi had to get up early to deliver a special load. Thankfully he returned around 2pm and we were able to have some fun for the day. We went to PCC again to pick up L.J. and went shopping at the mall. I took advantage of some black Friday sales & did the Buy 3 Get 3 free deal at Bath and Body Works. L.J. & I shared and each got three. Then at Victoria's Secret I got some PINK body spray so I could recieve the secret santa card. (you win either $10, $50, $100, or $500!) After shopping we dropped L.J. back off at school while Levi and I went and did some shopping at hobby lobby than went back to the hotel to order in some pizza.

The next day, Saturday, we met up with our good friends Josh & Lauren for lunch. It was nice to catch up with them while eating delicious chinese food. Haha than we all went to the mall.

Sunday was relaxing and it was a joy to see the church fam. We went out to eat my friends the Carter's at Wendy's.

What a great vaccation!!!
