a nice sunday so far

Hello all. It's so much different posting here than on xanga, but hey, i'm glad i at least still have a blog to post in. If I'm not let back on my xanga account, then at least I'm here. :)

So up above are a few of the photos I posted online recently that I am reposting here. There are others, but apparently they were posted via my phone and so I dont have a copy of those on my computer just yet, but I will see what I can do to get a copy posted on here.

So anyway, this morning church service was really nice. Since we are in the tail end of summer, the humidity is still a factor, and its pretty warm in the church. They had the windows open, and fans going, but i'm a natural heater, so even if its like 78 degrees with a slight drizzle making it feel cooler, inside the building its still muggy. But I didnt feel too bad because the pastor up in front doing the sermon, you could see that he had sweat on his head as well. Felt bad for him in a way, because I dont like being hot myself.

It definitely made it worse a bit because I was tired, and so then you add in the heat, and I was a bit top heavy. Although, our church service isnt too bad. I remember going to churches in the past where when the pastor would do his sermon, it'd seem like the sermon took 2 hours to get through. I dont mind sermons at all. In fact, I usually enjoy them because I enjoy anything that helps me to draw closer to God. When you're tired, and then hot on top of that, it can feel like it drags on. It didnt feel that way today. I cant tell you what the sermon was about right now, but i'm sure thats cuz i'm tired.

So we got home from church, and watched a few episodes of supernatural, then we watched Jumangi, and now we have fern gully playing. Ally heated up the vetos for her and zoe for lunch. Ally's veto was a can of pork and beans *she loves that stuff*, and zoe's was a can of spagetti o's. I grilled some brats. Other than that, just kinda hanging out. I do have to get on my school sometime today and do my last assignment for this current class. I start my next class tomorrow. I have to call verizon and see if they will not suspend us for a lil while longer because they are how I have been getting online, and if they suspend us, we will not have cell phone service, and no service will mean no internet as well, which will mean no netflix and i wont be able to get online to do my school. Sooo, i'm giving it all to God and having faith that everything will work out. Otherwise I would be completely stressed out and freaking out because of worrying how things will work out. I just need to have faith and trust. Since its the holiday weekend, I wouldnt reach anyone or get a call back from anyone driving job wise until probably on tuesday.

So now I will begin to close this entry up. *hopefully I'm not inadvertantly breaking rules or whatever here on blogger. Something makes me think though that blogger isnt as nitpicky as xanga might be. Like i mentioned before, to my knowledge, I hadnt done anything that was against the rules, and I even read over the rules and stuff after I was shut down to see what i might have done, and I couldnt pick up anything out that I did that the rules prohibited, so oh well!*

So in conclusion, not much planned for today except hanging out, homework, etc. Other than that, no other plans except to perhaps read some of my bible, and maybe play some mario bros on my DS. ;) I dont know if any of you have played that, or played mario bros on the wii, but they are basically the same type of game *just slightly different versions*, and when I play the mario bros on the wii, I do half way decent. I'm ok at the game. Getting better, but I still struggle quite a bit compared to when I play mario bros on my ds. On the ds, I just deleted one of the files and restarted from the beginning, and I played for like, an hour and a half and I'm already in world 3, with like, 35 lives so far. I dont remember ever having that high of a number of lives in the past. Do I die? Yeah, of course, i'm not perfect. But I am like flying through the game. Fun times! In fact, since me, erin, and Ally all have a ds, I wanted to see if getting the same game for both erin and ally's ds, if we each had the game cartridge for mario bros in our ds, if we could play team with mario an luigi. So I went with the girls to Game Stop, and I talked to the guy running the counter there, and basically found out from him that even with multiple cartridges, that it wouldnt let you play team with mario and luigi but you can play the mini games. I was like "i can do that with the wireless download." I dunno, Now that I think about it, maybe I will do a web search to see if the guy was giving me correct information because I coulda sworn that i had been told a while back that you could use multiple cartridges and play team play, but I guess I will find out. Who knows. So anyway, on that note, I will call that it for this entry. I hope you all are well, and I will talk to you all again soon! God bless!

hm, thats quite interesting

Sorry ya'll, I know i havent been here on this blog for a bit because I've been posting on my other one. To my knowledge, I havent one anything against the rules *unless posting links to my previous network marketing business was against the rules**or unless posting movie quotes as my title and stuff was against the rules or something*, but otherwise, I cant think of anything else I did wrong.

However, Erin went to get on to see my blog this morning and she got the message "your xanga has been shut down for some reason for violation of the rules" i was like "what?!" So, of course, I cant even log onto my site, so I emailed customer service. You would think, that they coulda contacted me to tell me if i did something wrong so I could fix it. Nope, not at all. THey simply shut me down. So I emailed hoping that it wasnt all lost, but if it is, then I will probably stick to posting over here. I dont like that I can be shut down for something and have never received any warnings or whatever. How hard would it be for a site to message you and say "hey, this one post, this one thing you mentioned, or this title you posted, you shouldnt have posted because its against the rules. If you want to keep your site open, you should delete it immediately" I woulda been like "ok! I'll do that!" But nope, just, like i said, one day there, the next day i'm shut down. So like i said, i'm hopeful that i didnt lose everything, but i spose if i did, oh well, there might not be anything that can be done about it.

At least I copied and pasted "some" of the blog entries i posted on there over to here, but the last week or so i know i havent, and that sucks because I did a lot of posting over the past week, but hey, you win sometimes and sometimes you lose. Tis a part of life!

I will definitely say that I wonder if posting movie quotes can be considered copywrite infringement, i wouldnt think so, but the one entry i did a few days back where i posted a movie quote from dr who, instead of the usual 5-15 hits I usually have on any of my entries, that entry i had almost 100 in like 2 days and my site isnt connected to that many people, so i have no idea. Oh well! Maybe I will hear a response back from them and will be allowed to fix it, otherwise I will just stay here. If thats the case, i will just take the other site as a loss and go from there. So anyway, be on the look out for more posts here now most likely ;) *although currently i think i only have 2 followers*. So take care! God bless! and talk to you again soon!

PS! I will try to post pics

blogs from the last few days copied and pasted over :)

good to be home
Hey everyone. Yup, I'm officially home. Gosh I was wiped out when I got home. I felt half way decent when getting off the bus. I grabbed my carry on bag, got off the bus, got my suitcase *did I mention that my suitcase weighed 72 lbs? Yeah.. it weighed 72 lbs*. Then I wasted no time. I hauled butt over to the building next door which is where the trains were. I got to the concourse level, hurried over to the help desk and asked "hey Sir, I have a question." He was like "how can I help you sir?" I was like "I'm trying to get to Ardmore, which train do I need?" He was like "let me see whats coming next." And he looked over a computer screen and then goes "You'll want the train arriving at platform 4b." So I thanked him and hurried away. I took an escalater because this suitcase being as heavy as it was, I could only carry it for very short periods of time.

So I get downstairs to the platform, and as I'm getting to platform 4b, a train is arriving, and so before getting on, I wanted to make sure it was the right one *i was pretty sure*, so I approached a guard and was like "sir is this train going to ardmore?" He was like "it sure is!" So I got on. Now this was fun.. oh gosh was this fun O_O. I went into the train car, got to an open bench, and I had to put my suitcase up overhead on the luggage rack. I knew this would be a BLAST. O_O. So I put my carryon bag, and my two pillows on the bench, and I began trying to lift my heavy *** suitcase over my head to put it on the wrack. I almost got it up there, and my arms started to give out. I was obviously struggling because a guy on the other side said "do you need a hand?" I was practically falling over and was like "that'd be wonderful if you dont mind that is." But right as he went to get up, I must have found some hidden strength because suddenly I managed to be able to lift it up above my head and get it up there. I plopped down on the seat, scooted as close to the window as I could, and had to calm down a bit because my heart was racing and I realized that the physical exersion I just performed had zapped whatever strength and energy I had left in me, and suddenly my body realized that I hadn't really eaten a whole lot lately because I was tiiiiired. Weak, and tired.

When the conductor came around to get people's tickets, or to get their cash to buy tickets, I paid for my ticket, and asked what they would be calling out when at the stop in ardmore, and she said "they will call out ardmore." I was like "ok, cool, just making sure because I've only ridden 3 trains in my life and I want to make sure I get off at the right one." Erin was texting me going "how long till you're here so I know when to leave?" And of course, I was like "well I think 45 minutes probably." This was like at 6:25PM, and by like, 6:40, I heard them say "Next stop, wynwood station!" I was like "well crap! That's where I got on and off when I was in town last! I'm getting off here!" So when they stopped, I manhandled the suitcase back down. Thank you God for giving me the strength to get that heavy thing down without dropping it on anyone because I was afraid I would honestly!

When I slowly worked my way off the train, the conductor was like "i thought you were getting off at the ardmore station" I was like "well this is in ardmore and I have gotten on before at this one so I know where I'm at." She was like "sounds good, have a nice day!"

So when I got off, the problem with that station is the area that you get picked up on is on the other side. And the main way you get there is by climbing down a long flight of stairs, going through a little tunnel, and then up another long flight of stairs. I stood there for a few minutes first thinking "gawd this is gonna suck." So I picked up the heavy suitcase, and slowly went down the stairs, across the tunnel, and then manhandled it back up the other flight of stairs. Got up, went to the bench and literally layed down on the bench for a few minutes while waiting for Erin and the girls to come. I was jittery and stuff because after manhandling the suitcase I was suddenly starving and tired.

So when Erin showed up, she hadn't told the girls that I was coming yet because we wanted it to be a surprise, so you shoulda seen their faces. Zoe was obviously very surprised, she was like "Daddy? DADDY!" lol. Ally tried to play it off like she knew. She was like "i knew it!" Erin was like "yeah sure you did!" We went to a pizza place called "Peace A Pizza" and we each got a pizza slice, and a drink, and the girls got cookies. Then we came home. Was nice to shower and get cleaned up. Of course, I heated up a thing of soup because one or two slices of pizza def didnt do enough for me.

We watched the movie "The Tooth Fairy" with Larry The Cable Guy, and then Erin and I watched Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. That was a pretty good movie. Of course, being that I only had 2 one hour naps over the past 48 hours, I quickly started to fade out, so I wasnt going to be able to stay awake for the whole movie, so I ended up crashing by lie, 11:45 or so. We finished watching Ghost Protocol today. This morning I hooked up the Verizon MIFI upstairs on the charger, and turned it on so we would have internet here at home *since our verizon fios is still on suspension till we can pay the bill*

So to close out this entry, I have today, tomorrow, and part of sunday before Erin will drop me off in NJ at the hotel. Monday morning around 6 am, I start orientation. I'm glad that it will be paid. Minimum wage, but it'll be 4 days of like, 7.50 or something per hour, for like, a 8 or 10 or whatever hour day. I have to worry about breakfast and dinner, but they are providing lunch. And I will be in my own hotel room, which I was surprised about because I half expected to have a roommate, but I'm not going to complain ;).

Now we are just sitting around, me working on this blog for the past hour or so because I keep getting distracted, Ally working on a puzzle, Zoe sitting next to me eating sliced apples and grapes, and Erin on her computer over on the recliner. After I finally finish here, I will have to log on to my school and catch up on my assignment posts for the week because I didnt get online at all on the computer while at the greyhound station in Gary, or while on the bus. I could have I guess, but I focused more on my bible, and watching Merlin on netflix. I'm up to episode 19 now. :) If I wasnt doing either of those two things, I was just sitting and watching out the window, relaxing and just hanging out. Plans for today? I don't think we have much planned. Maybe a trip to a playground for the girls, not sure yet. :) I def need to get my assignments taken care of today, but other than that, just chillin and not doing much. Hope you all are well! God bless! And talk to you again soon!

PS. I thought I gained weight over the past 2 months, but I was mistaken. When I left here last time a few months back (2 months at least), I weighed close to 270 lbs. Last night I hopped up on the scale and I am down to 255. So I just need to still be vigilant about my eating habits and see if i can keep going downwards. :) So, that was a good surprise last night. :D

almost home
It's been a very interesting ride the past day or so on the greyhound. The Lord def blessed me with a safe and relaxing journey. He even helped me to catch some small cat naps when I have always struggled to nap on buses.

Every long layover flew by like it was no time at all. Also I'm thankful I was blessed with being on an express bus the whole time. Those are the nicer more comfy buses. He also blessed me with another former England driver that was on the same bus with me almost the whole way, so he and I chatted quite a bit. Haven't really been able to just "chat" lately so it was very welcome.

Something happened today that I prayed and thanked God for. At every stop, and on the bus, I would have my bible out working on my study plan. Well when we left Pittsburgh this morning, he leaned over to me and goes "hey Bro, can I see your bible for a little while?". I didn't question but immediately took it out of my bag and handed it to him. While watching netfiix, I glanced over every so often for the next hour or so, and noticed him on different books, very much very much deep into it.

I thanked God because, although I don't know what inspired him to want to read my bible, but I felt like God worked through me to touch him.

On a diff note, when we first took off from Pittsburgh, the driver concluded his greeting over the intercom with "and may the Lord grant us a safe and speedy journey". To which I said "amen!' And this female maybe in her twentys sitting one row up from me stuck her finger in her mouth like she was gagging. I felt compelled to say a silent prayer for her also.

All in all, a very nice trip. Def the best greyhound trip I've ever had.

To close out this entry, i read something earlier that said your level of worry shows the level of faith you have. Worry not, have faith and know that God has everything under control. That'll be all for now. I might come back on later. Typing up blogs on the phone is def a challenge but it is well worth it! God bless and till next time!

and off again
Onto the 2nd leg of the trip home. Thankfully, I will be on an express bus the rest of my trip. That doesn't mean any faster, it just means a more comfy bus, and when you are traveling 18 or so hours, its nice to be as comfy as possible.

I've def felt God present. When we were getting ready to board the bus out of Gary Indiana, I was chatting with this guy that I could tell was a party guy. I mentioned having myself good to go because I have my psp, my ds, and my kindle with me. He was like "oh, a psp? Sweet!". I was like "and I also have my bible". He was like "oh you're one of those? Youre into the bible eh?". I was like yeah im constantly studying it because I want to be more knowledgeable about God's word".

He was like "honestly dude I don't care. I don't do anything with that stuff. I just want to and try to have fun.". I didn't say anything else. And he had a ticket for a different bus going west instead of south east like we were going. He tried to talk his way on the bus but the driver wouldn't let him on because it wasn't what he had a ticket for. He got really pissed and yelled and stormed off.

When we were layed over in Indianapolis, me and this other guy were chatting, he went off to get a drink and I pulled out my bible and started reading. He came back and was like "ohhhhhh. That's why he thought you were witnessing to him". I was like "I wasn't tho. I just told him I brought my bible". Then the convo was quite interesting.

Here's what I notice when I think about it. I couldn't get an earlier bus, that's true, and the afternoon bus was full so I and several others missed it. Even with things not going how I would have liked, I was still cheerful and content. Yes it wasn't the best situation, but I was ok. I just wanted to get home and I had faith that God was with me and that this path was laid out for me by God and He will be there with me every step of the way.

This other guy, let's say his name was Jose. Jose missed the afternoon bus, was not allowed to get on our bus to Indianapolis because of the wrong ticket, and both times really pissed him off. I mean storming off yelling bad language kind of pissed. Remember how I mentioned that he said he doesn't care about that stuff because he just wants to have fun? Well one other interesting thing is this guy, Jose, not long ago got dropped off by a bus in the middle of the night and was sitting there waiting for his next one and a car pulled up and these guys got out and robbed him at gunpoint.

So after getting to Indianapolis, me and this other guy, let's call him Bob, after he mentioned my bible and stuff, I told him how I'm daily studying it because I want to know and understand God's word better. I was like "and since I've been trying to live more in a way pleasing to God, and studying His word, over the last four weeks things have really changed for the better. And think about it Bob. Jose isn't into anything with God and just wants to have fun. But there are 3 things that tell me he needs to make a change. He seemed to have worse luck today than anyone, first the missed bus, then the wrong ticket, and then you throw in there he was robbed at gunpoint.

Maybe God is letting these things happen to him with the hope that it'll get him thinking and coming back to God". Bob had that look like a lightbulb went off and he was like "you know? That makes sense! I can see that being the case with how things seemed to be going for him, and how pissed he got when he missed both buses.".

I was like "and I'm not preaching. I'm just pointing out to you how he seemed to have issues that I can easily see are probably tied to his lack of a relationship with God". Bob was like "I didn't think about that before but now that you mention it, I think yours right!"

I'm not to the point yet where I feel comfortable just talking to random people, cuz I would have liked to say more to Jose, but I went blank. But it felt good to talk to Bob because at least I was able to help one person see the difference with someone like me who is constantly growing with my relationship with God, and someone like Jose who has no relationship with God based on his statements, and how he has had a number of stressful and hard things happen lately.

Def makes me think a little more. With God in our lives, He shoulders the weight with us so our burdens are still there but they are not as heavy. He gives us peace. He protects us.

Made me start praying that if it'd be the Lords will , that He would lighten my heart so I'm not so scared and that he would use me to teach others just by not being afraid to talk about the Lord with them. Work in progress I guess. Gotta crawl before I can walk, and then when I'm walking, I must do baby steps for a while till I have learned what I need to learn.

So in conclusion for this entry, you may not notice just how strong God's influence is in your life till you come across a non believer and you hear of several things that they've delt with recently. It's not just coincidence I yell ya! I mean let's face it! I love "fun"! But is it worth Hell? Absolutely not! And we can be with God and still have fun. ;).

So on that note, I must be tired because things are blurring together. I may come back on here later in my trip as I slowly travel towards home.

rollin rollin rollin
So first off, this entry is from my phone, so it prob won't be perfect and for that I appologize. Plus it might not be too long and for that I appologize, but I wanted to come on. In fact I wanted to come on last night but I was up really late cleaning the truck out and getting my stuff packed so I would be all ready this morning. Then went to sleep for 5 hours, got up, finished my luggage, and took off again. I had 4 hours till the Indians cre drop yard.

Then I got my truck turned on, and had to catch a cab to the greyhound station. My bus that I was told I was to be on was at 255pm. At 255, the bus showed up but me and 12 others were turned sway because the bus had been overbooked. So the next bus was scheduled for 710pm. I hoped and prayed I wouldn't miss another one. Having been up since 3 am, the 710 bus will get into philly by 530 tomorrow night.

I kbow I'm gonna be exhausted. Plus I didn't want to be stuck at that greyhound station over night because I was told that this got got dropped off in the middle of the night and he got robbed at gunpoint. So yeah. I didn't want to be there too late.

So, the 710 bus came and I am officially on it. Woohoo! I told Erin that if the kids jump on me tomorrow, I might end ul going down. Figured if it happens, she won't be surprised. She was like "sleep on the bus". I was like "I've never been able to that much, but j try.".

So last night I was saddened because in order to be able to carry my stuff home, I had to ditch stuff. Like a cooler, a small tv, a fan, my food. It sucked. Putting some of these things in the trash or near it, I was like "I'm do sorry". Especially the fan. I loved that fan. After I was all packed and still emotional , I prayed that God might help me to be strong because I know they are material things and I shouldn't be that attached. Oh well. After a Lil while I felt God embracing me and taking the emotionalness away.

So I'm on the first leg of my trip. This bus will stop in Indianapolis, IN. Next I believe is Ohio. Not sure off the top of my head as far as the next one. But I heard back from jbhunt today and it sounds like I'm all cleared for the most part, so still a go for orientation on Monday. That'll be nice. Can't wait to be paid well for what I do.

In closing, it looks like we are almost to the stop in Indianapolis, so I'm going to sign off. More later perhaps. ;)

ooooklahoma every night my honeylamb and i!

Sorry, I stared at the screen for a sec going "well gee, what shoul the title be?" lol. I'm weird yes I know. Do I care? nope, because I have to amuse myself somehow. ;) So lets see, whats up? Me? not much. Didnt really accomplish "TOO" much today. Got to my delivery this morning by 8am, was there for probably like, 4.5 hours before i got unloaded, had to go to the nearest Loves Travel stop to fuel which was probably 30 minutes away, but I was in dire need of fuel, food and a restroom break so it was worth the drive. Plus it was in the general direction I had to go anyway for my next load. I fueled, grabbed a $5 foot long, and hit the road towards my pickup which was still a two hour drive from where I was at. For the sub, I got a foot long meatball on wheat. Of course, after I bought it, I immediately started driving, and I had two thoughts going through my head for a while as it layed there on the seat next to me. I thought "dang I'm hungry!" followed by "i wonder if i could pull off eating this sub while driving without making a huge mess!"

I say making a huge mess because I have this bad habit with meatball subs to be lenient with the meatballs and let them sneak out of the sub. Not really, I don't "let" them, but they always find a way out, they're sneaky those lil guys! lol. After a while, i still had over an hour to go to get to my pickup, and so I decided I would try. Thankfully I managed to be able to eat the sub without losing any of it on myself *kings to me!* ;)



So I went to the pickup, of course I didnt wash the trailer out *because sometimes I cant afford to pay out of pocket for it, so I have always just gone straight into the customer and 99% of the time, they have not care. Sometimes they have made me take it to a truck wash to get sprayed out, like if i'm getting ready to haul a load of meat or something. Tonight they had me put it in the dock, then they had me come inside and go in with a broom to sweep it out. They also had me wear not just a hair net, but a beard net also. I just thought about that and thought "dang! I so shoulda taken a pic to upload!" but alas, I didnt think about it. I had other stuff on my mind. Like for instance, by this point, my 14 hour clock had already gotten below 5 hours. The trip from the pickup to indiana where I'll drop my truck off and get a greyhound ticket home, is like, 950 miles, so my hope today was to be able to get the load, do at least half today, and get to indiana tomorrow. But by the time I got out of the customer, I only had like, 2.5 hours left, and so I took off, drove just over 2 hours, and then pulled into the first travel plaza i came across. FIgured, "hey, MickyD's, why not." Was just sitting in the drivers seat browsing facebook for about 45 minutes first, then went inside. As I went in, this busload of like, 20 girls from a soccer team or something was coming into the mcdonalds. I thought "i'll use the restroom, then get my chips and gatorade to see if I can avoid the huge crowd." When I came back into MickyD's, it was only like, 10 minutes later and I was almost expecting to still be in a huge crowd, but to my surprise all the girls team was gone.

I asked the girl running the register "What did they only get french fries or something?" She was like "heh, nah, they all got like a $1.00 cone." So I proceeded to order, I was going to get the chicken selects, and when she asked "what sauce would you like?" I said "ranch please" and she did this inhale and goes "ohhhhh.. i'm sorry, we're out of ranch." I was like "well what do you have?" She goes "barbeque, chipolte, honey mustard." I was like "Hm. let me get the combo with the chicken blt sandwich and a tenpack of nuggets, do you guys carry honey?" She was like "oh definitely!" So thats what i did. When I typed "honey mustard," I for some reason typed "honey money." NOt sure why i did that, but that'd be some sticky money!

So instead of getting to indiana tomorrow, I have like, 8.5 hours till I will hit the road again, I'll drive as much of the 850 miles remaining, then stop for another 10, then drive the rest. So I estimated to Erin that I'd hopefully get to indiana by early on wednesday, If I get there early enough, I may be able to catch the 11AM bus to the greyhound station. Otherwise, 3pm is the next one. I figure, as early as I can be on the bus home, the better. ;). Speaking of the upcoming job, I spoke to someone at JBhunt today about the orientation on monday, and was told that I just gotta check into the hotel in NJ by any time sunday, and just tell them I'm with JBHunt, and the room is payed for, and he made it a point to mention "Oh and single occupency too." I was like "sweet, I was half expecting to have a roommate." He was like "nope, not at that one." Cool stuff. I guess with England during both the school, and the upgrade process, I had a roommate each time. During the upgrade, I had this roommate that was apparently still a week out from getting his licence, and he had this lil "pep talk" with me about how "i'm sure we're both here to change our lives, and I wont mess with you, you dont mess with me, " or whatever, until i mentioned that I was already licenced and was upgrading, he was like "oh, well cool! sorry man, you just never know, there are a lot of these guys that really couldnt care less!" I was like "oh i know what you mean!"

So to backtrack a bit, today at the pickup, this other england driver was there, and i was parking beside him. I hadnt set up properly because of where I was at before, and when I came in, I think i bumped his mirror that is up on the corner of his hood *used for being able to see your blind spot easier" because his driving partner pointed it out to me. I didnt say anything at first to the actual owner of the truck, but went inside to figure out what I needed to do with my trailer, and the owner of the truck comes in and goes "we gotta do something about the mirror bro." I was like "yeah i know, Im sorry about that, let me see what I can figure out." Because when I bumped it, the mirror cracked, so he was like "first major bump I hit, its going to break completely." So he and I were talking about if we could figure something out between the two of us without reporting it, and I was able to get an express code for a com check for him. I figured, it was such a small incident, wouldnt be worth points on the licence, and since he was willing to figure something out between us, I was like "sure, that sounds good." Otherwise I would have written him a check for the $75 we thought it might cost to fix, and asked him to hold it for two weeks till I hopefully get my first paycheck plus the sign on bonus.

To top that off! the trailer I was getting had one number difference from the paperwork i had, so i went in and told them and he was like "yeah its the right trailer, I just put it in wrong, but I loaded it myself, so let me change the number really quick." So he did, and then the trailer didnt want to cooperate with me as far as hooking up to it, so I was out in the 100 degree heat cranking this thing away, and about 45 minutes later, finally FINALLY I was connected, and I was drenched, heat exhausted, and seeing spots. I pulled myself back into the cab with the AC blasting, and must have easily went through a quarter gallon of my water bottle. After I did the water, I definitely started to feel better after a while.

So forward tracking again! tonight on facebook there were a few funny posts, like pictures or what not, and people making smartass comments. LIke the picture I saw that erin and I both made comments on was this guy, apparently ran from a cop, jumped out his window, and ended up hanging from a phone line, and the pic shows him completely naked and the female cop at the window with this look like "omgosh." Then a bunch of us making smart ass comments like "full moon on a wire" or "but I thought we could just hang out!" or "But mom I swear dad said he does this all the time!"

Yes it is stupid in a way, but a little laughter each day is good for ya. Sometimes if I'm chatting with Erin, or my cousin Mary, or there have been times where I was being quite a smartass to Ashley. lol. *sorry :P* some days are definitely different and better than others, some days I'm the usual smartass self :P. I dont plan it! lol.

So yeah, i really wish I had taken a pic of me all funky with the hair and beard net and safety goggles. lol . That would have been a keeper! :D

In conclusion, I was thinking recently about how when I get back home and end up home nightly, and off 2 days a week, I will still be a few weeks out from the end of my current school class, and with only two left *including algebra.. ugh, not looking forward to that again!*.. I may try to give the CLEP test a shot for algebra. I havent done it yet because out here, I'm rarely home, and when I have been, I was always broke so I couldnt. But it may be possible, and if I pass, it gives me credit for the class and I wont have to take the actual class! So Ash, fyi, for your nursing stuff in the future, keep CLEP in mind because you can test out of classes and not have to actually take the class. I'm sure you already knew about it, but I just thought I'd throw it out there for ya just in case. ;)

On that note! I will call that a night. Gonna finish my nuggets and fries and the orange drink, and do my prayers and bible reading for the night. Tonight's chapters are 2 Kings 5, 17, and 22. There are often times when I read the chapters from the study plan, and I end up going further in that chapter because what I'm reading intrigues me a lot. Other times it still intrigues me but I stick to the study plan. Fun stuff! On that note, I wish you all a good evening, God bless, and Good Night!

Not long now!

Hey all! Well i just finished my post on xanga. Yes yes, that's right, i'm posting in two blogs currently. We'll see how long I can keep that up! I guess it really depends on how much is on my mind, how much I want to talk about, bla bla bla, yada yada yada. LOL! The funny thing was I started that xanga entry with the intent that I would not make it that long. But of course, it ended up much longer than I planned. LOL!

So let's see if I can do a completely new entry here without re-covering what I covered over there. *gonna take some work ;)* So, let's see. It is currently sunday, 8/12/2012, and I'm just inside of Texas from Arkansas. I'm about an hour away from where I'm delivering to. My appointment time is at 7 AM tomorrow, and I got parked here around like 4 this afternoon. The road I'm just off of is basically a two lane highway all the way to the customer from the interstate I got off of. I could have stopped at a truck stop on the interstate and then got up earlier and continued in the morning, but I had a method to my madness today. I thought, I wanted to get as close as possible before stopping so that I limit how much i drive in the morning. That way, I'm hoping.. HOPING! that I can get loaded tomorrow some time and be on my way towards Indiana to turn my truck in so i can catch a greyhound to head towards home. Yeah, big plans, I know, but I'm looking forward to the change! With everything that has happened recently, and still the lack of paychecks driving for england, you could say I'm looking for to positive change. Dont get me wrong, I would do what I'm doing for the next 2.5 years if I had to in order to own this truck and make the big bucks, but God opened up an opportunity for driving for a local company making really good money, and being home every day, so I couldn't pass it up. I could have become a trainer and I would actually have made more money than the new job will pay, but I would still never be home much, and honestly i'm worn out with being away from home. Could I do it? Absolutely. I will do anything and everything the Lord requires of me, and if He wants me to be away from home for years struggling before things looked up, then I'd do it. Thankfully He has led me down a different path that not only involves me doing this job, but being home more and being able to build our financial situation back up and get it on track.

Either way, what matters is God is responsible for it all. He's kept me going this far, and opened up the new opportunity, and I know that I just have to constantly praise and glorify Him no matter how good or bad things seem. Things can always get worse, and although it's so easy to put God on the back burner when things seem awesome because we get the mindset "we're so great!" It isnt US that's great. It's HIM! And if we don't give him the credit he deserves, he can just as easily put us back down into tough times. I guess that's why they say you should not only love and honor and glorify God, but should fear Him as well because He wants to bless us, but he wants us to obey Him, and if we don't, he will just as quickly let our lives temporarily fall apart to the point where we think "oh Lord please forgive us, please help us!"

In both good times, and bad, whether we're super happy, or super stressed to the point of wanting to give into temptations, or bang our head against a wall, or whatever, the one thing we must ALWAYS do is kneel and give it all to God. He can lift us up, and He loves us and is always there, but we have to come to Him. I can only wonder what we must look like to Him when we are trying to do everything and handle stuff emotionally on our own, and i can imagine God looking down on us thinking "i'm here, hello!!! come to me and I will help you!!!! Why are you trying to handle this alone!!!!" lol.

Heh, yeah, as we don't know God's plan for us, or what we are supposed to do (or at leats I don't know as far as my life goes), who knows what God is really thinking some times. All I have focused on especially more so lately is trying to live according to His word, trying to be the best person I can be in His eyes. I've noticed in life, I feel better over all, happier, not depressed at all, less stressed, and just a sense of peace especially when I'm trying to live to please God. The flesh is weak, and there are always temptations out there for us to look at or think, when I say "think", I'm talking about, someone hurt you, and you find yourself thinking of things you'd love to do to them out of anger, when we should still love them and forgive them. I struggle with that part. At least at first. Especially when the person who hurt me is someone that I care about such as a good friend, for a little while I first go through the denial stage, going "what did I do? Why? Please talk to me! Tell me please." *not saying I'd be saying those, but that'd be what would normally be said in denial. More like, denial because you just cant believe that things went that route. The next phase is the eye opening stage for me, especially recently. Because there's a reason for everything that happens. God is in control of everything, and there is probably something He wants us to learn from that experience. Even when I got a ticket recently for being overweight for this bridge I crossed, I was freaking out but I still went in back, kneeled and prayed saying pretty much "God I don't know what I'm supposed to learn from this experience, but I figure everything happens for a reason and so I pray that you'll give me the strength to handle this situation and that you'll continue to shoulder the weight of the world with me."

I keep getting distracted because I write a paragraph or two because I've got country music playing on the radio as I sit here in the sleeper bunk writing this blog, in between responding to texts from Erin. So if suddenly part of a sentence switches to a different point and you're like "dafuq?!" I'm sorry! I'm trying to make sure I keep everything flowing in order, but I'll be the first to admit, i'm scatter brained sometimes, so I tend to go off topic sometimes, or sometimes when I'm talking to someone especially out here on the road, I'll be talking to someone and suddenly its like my mind goes "flatline" and i'm like "huh, I cant remember what I was trying to say......" lol. Sucks when you know what you're hauling, but you're tired and you get to the counter where you're checking in, or in this one time about a week and a half back when I was in Cheyene, I was at the port of entry and the cop goes "so whatcha hauling..." I looked down at the counter and went "shit..... I know it but I cant, its like on the tip of my toungue" LOL. That was literally the end of my trip that day, so all that was on my mind after driving for 10+ hours was to get parked and relax.

Thankfully he was like "where you delivering?" I was like "walmart dc" he was like "here in cheyene?" I was like "yes sir," and he was like "great, have a good night" I guess i'm ok since i was delivering locally..lol..

So lets see, not sure what else to really cover tonight. I will go for a bit and see if my mind comes up with anything more as my fingers continue to punch the keys. So I was on this two lane highway going to the customer. I'm about an hour out, and I would have driven all the way if i knew more about this customer as in if they have space on their parking lot for trucks to come early and park. Sometimes customers will have room and let you come early and just wait. Most of the time though, if you get there too early, they send you away and say "come back ___ before your appointment time". Sucks when its walmart and i showed up 2 hours early and they were like "go to a truck stop and come back 30 minutes prior." I was like "oh, really? ok." I thought "well that sucks." Usually an hour or two before your appointment most customers will let you check in. A few of them were very strict about 30 minutes or so before your appointment time.

So today as I was driving the last like, 280 miles *i had like 350 miles left when I stopped yesterday afternoon*, I tried calling the customer to see if i could find out more about them so I would know if i could come straight in to the customer tonight and just park till morning. But I'm guessing they are closed on the weekends cuz i got their answering machine and they said receiving times are 7-2 monday through thursday, so I thought "i can risk it and go straight in and hope there's a place to park close by, or i can keep an eye out for a safe location within like 60 miles out." So, I figured that would be the best option, so here i am, about 55-60 miles away, and I came up on this huuuuuuuge open parking lot, had 3 seperate buildings, looked like an outlet mall location, but it also looked like it had long been shut down because the building exteriors were in disrepair, so I thought I should be pretty safe parking here. So i pulled in, went down by the building, swung around and parked near the back right corner of the lot facing out towards the highway. I figure, not "close" to the highway, so if cops or whatever pass, i'm less likely to attract their attention. I've been pretty blesse so far with parking in open places like this an not having cops come and tell me that I have to move. I figure, I'm very attentive to things like if there are "No Parking" signs, or "No Tresspassing" or "Private Property". Although like, friday or something, I parked in an empty sears parking lot. I was actually headed towards a walmart super center because I hoped there'd be room for me there, and i came up on this empty sears lot which was huge, and there was another truck parked there already, so I pulled in, went around the back, circled around and parked where I was out of the way, not seen by passing traffic very much, and in an area that first thing in the morning, I could get out easily and head over to the truck stop.

it wasnt too late when i delivered that night, but the truck stop close by was fairly small so even by like, 8pm when I got there, it was already full, so I scrambled with my truck stop app on my phone trying to find a place I could go. Thats the problem with these small highways and backroads is there arent many places we can park unless we find open lots like this. That's why I tried to trip plan so that I'd only be doing this stretch for a lil while. Otherwise I was on the interstates most of the way out here.

So since I'm finally starting to fun out of things to talk about *i know, surprising right? :P* I'll close up with this. I deliver at 7 am tomorrow, and i'm hoping to get loaded first thing towards indiana right away so that no later than wednesday, I can be dropping the load there and turning in my truck and be headed towards home on a greyhound. I guess lately there are times where it feels even more overwhelming out here as far as being alone goes. The good ol life of a trucker ;) love the job, but God help any truckers that come out here solo that don't have anything with them to keep them busy like a hotspot on their phone with a computer, or handheld video games or something. OMgosh, I could only imagine. Especially on those deliveries where you sit at the customer the entire day or longer. Without anything to do, you're options would be lay around and sleep or just sit and do nothing while you wait to finishing loading or unloading. That would suck! I've usilized my PSP a few times, mainly watching the movies (or UMD-universal media discs).. I'm still up in the air as to if I will eventually trade my psp and games and movies in for the newest version of the PSP. It looks cool, but what I don't like is i'm almost POSITIVE that I will end up with less games and stuff. It doesnt sound right to me to trade 4 games in and 4 movies, and my system and maybe hopefully come out with the new system and 1 or 2 games. Maybe it wouldnt be that bad, but thats what i'm afraid of.

So anyway, on that rambling note, I hope you all are well. I will talk to you all again next time. God bless, take care, be safe, be good, and ta ta for now!

Almost time for a change in pace

Well, again, I apologize for the length of time that I have been away. I guess depending on how things are going, and how busy I am, I get really lazy at times. A lot has happened over the past 6 months or so *havent looked at the date of my last post so I'm not sure how long its been, but i'm pretty sure not that long*. Not sure if I will be able to cover everything in this entry, but I will see what I can do. Still lazy, so that might pose a problem. LOL! Well, for the past 7 months, I have been driving as an Independent Contractor for CR England. My lease is up in the next 18 months, and then my plan was to then start making payments for the next year after that to "own" the truck. Owning my truck basically would mean that i'd make over $800 extra on my pay checks because 500 was for the truck payment each week, and then probably over $300 on top of that because of the 14 cents variable mileage that england charges right now, that they wont when I own. So that was what I was looking forward to. Over the past few months though, I've reconnected with God, and am constantly trying to do even better. Some days are easier than others, but what I've learned through me studying God's word, and praying constantly, and worshiping him to the best of my ability, giving Him all my strength, loving Him with all my heart, soul, mind, and all my strength. There were days when I had just delivered, it was late at night, and I had a pickup for that night right afterwards, and so I was like, "i'm going to push myself, i'm giving you everything I have Lord, I'm giving you all my strength till I get to the point where I literally crawl back in the back in my sleeper and go to sleep.

I starte devoting as much time as I possibly could to giving it to God. I try to study in my bible every day. Some days its harder than others. Take last night for instance. After telling Ash that I was sorry for whatever I did, or didnt do, or whatever, and that I was going to go offline on the chat programs for a while because I was having trouble holding on to a friendship that she seemed to let go of by completely ignoring and not wanting to talk to me, but that I would always be here and all she has to do is text me asking me to come onto yahoo or whatever and I will come on, but that the ball is officially in her court. I still cant explain what happened between she and i because one day it seemed like things were fine, then a day or two later she was refusing to talk to me and said she was bothered, so meh, I figure, God is in control, and he knows what he is doing. Ashley in my life bonding with me a few months back pulled me out of a dark place while out here alone on the road, and I constantly prayed for her and her family and from what I've heard and noticed *and i cant say 100%* but it sounded to me especially recently that things have improved between her and her family drastically, and so I have faith that God has been working in her life.

So anyway, moving on, as I figure its a life situation that isnt worth focusing on right now because as far as I can tell, its something that I can not change, and also, you cant focus on the future if you are looking at the past. Also, I figure, the way that Ash and I were brought closer as friends was so sudden and out of the blue, that neither of us understood why it happened like that, the only thing we could explain it was that God had a reason for it. And the falling out recently was just as fast as the coming together, and for a while during my drive shift the other day, I was actually heartbroken for a while until suddenly it was like God opened my eyes and I realized that He is in control of everything, and that obviously there is a reason for everything that happens, and obviously He used Ash to ground me and help me pull back to God, and He used me through my renewed and stronger than ever faith to send constant prayers Ash's way for her and her family. And now a new path is layed out for me and apparently its time for me to embrace that and keep moving forward. Not everyone that God brings into your life is brought into your life permanently. God brings people into your life for a little while to teach you a lesson, to help you grow, or to show you why you need Him so much. So, do I consider Ash a friend? Always. I've known her for a while, and werent always as close as we became months back. However, I told her that I would always be here for her if she ever needs me *which is how i am as a friend*, and I figure, if God's plan for us is for us to not talk anymore, then it'll be so, but if He plans for us to reconnect as friends then it'll happen, so instead of worrying about it, I'm just moving forward and walking in faith!

So onward! so, being here here on the road alone has been tough. I'd say it has been a really big challenge for me. Thank you God for the strength to do it! I knew being away from my family would be hard, but being away from my family, putting in long hours, no days off really, while at the same time, not making much money at all and having trouble to pay the bills, which usually resulted in Erin and I butting heads because of money. Over the past couple months though, things have still been tight, but with my ever growing faith in the Lord, and trying to better myself as far as ways of thinking, things I was into, etc, that I was slowly trying to change for the better in God's eyes. So, over the past 4 weeks, I receive 3 job offers to drive for other companies. One was with Sneider, out 6 days, home 3 days, which sounded good. The big problem was the local yard i'd have to get to here in pa is 2 hours away, and that would have been a problem, so at first, I didnt share the news with erin because I wasnt feeling it, and didnt want to fight about it. I wanted to keep working hard and keep having faith and figured if it was meant to be, eventually God would present an opportunity that when I saw it, I would go "wow, there it is!" Well after turning down that job, I got a call from USA Trucking, and that was home 4 days a month, and i thought "thats not too bad," but still didnt feel right about it. Then got a call from JBHunt, and this one was out 12 days, home 2 days. I thought "that's not too bad either," but I couldnt bring myself to decide, I kept thinking "i really hate to leave england, I dont want to give up what i've worked hard for with my lease, and love the idea of owning my truck.

So, come this last sunday, God acted on my heart and I suddenly thought "ok I either need to take a company driver job with another company, or I need to become a trainer with England." I really wasnt feeling like I wanted to be a trainer, but i was willing to, but I felt more strongly about the JBHunt opportunity. So the next morning when I hit the road, I called jbhunt and talked to the recruiter that had called me and wanted to talk about the 12 days out, and 2 days home. He explained that there was another job possibility that just came open an hour earlier that normally I didnt qualify for because the job normally required 18 months experience, but it had been changed and I qualified now. I was like "well tell me about it if you would please." He was like "its local" i was like "really... thats good, what else?" He was like "home nightly, two nights off per week, salary around 54,000 and you'd average about 1,080 per week, sometimes more from what other drivers have told me." I was like "wow. That sounds great. One question, is there a sign on bonus?" he was like "yup, $1,000 sign on bonus." I was like "dang.. That sounds too good to be true!" He was like "its for real man! Are you interested?" I was like "I'm definitely interested!" It felt like God had reached out, padded me on the shoulder and said "see? arent you glad I hardened your heart so you didnt jump at the other opportunities that came up the past few weeks? Glad you trust and have faith in me now I bet eh?" I remember, after talking to the recruiter, then being transfered to the lady running my background check, I stopped at a truckstop because I saw it had Long John Silvers and I havent eaten at one of those in years! When I got my food, and got back to the truck, before I got back on the road, I went in back, and knelt in prayer to thank God for not only hardening my heart against the other offers, but for his blessings in our lives, and that I knew things would work out and be ok, that I just had to have Faith and Trust in Him.

Ever since that day, I got a ticket from a cop for going over a bridge that i was too heavy for *I didnt realize it*, and while the cop was writing the ticket, I was shaking *I seem to always be shaky when I'm dealing with cops giving me a citation. I dont know why. I was sitting in the driver seat while the cop was back in his car writing the citation, and my leg was shaking something fierce. I was like "wow, cmon!" while i tried to put my hand firmly on my leg to help it stop shaking. Then I got up, climbed in back, and knelt down in prayer basically saying "Lord I give it all to you, all my worries, cares and stresses, and yes I'm freaking out right now, but I know that there is a reason for everything, and you are in control,and obviously there is something you want me to learn from this, so I give it all to you Lord, and will do whatever you want me to do.

So, right now I'm sitting at a TA (travel centers of America) here in Ohio. I'm sitting for a 34 hour reset till tomorrow morning. I got some good sleep last night and this morning, I got up at 5 AM and went in to submit my trip packs to payroll before they would come in for the day, and then I came back out to the truck, studied my bible for about 40 minutes, and then went back to sleep. Didnt get up till about 11, but with my awesome amount of sleep lately *sarcasm :P * i've noticed if i sleep late, i still can go to sleep at night without problem. Then I went into the truck stop, ate brunch first at the restaurant inside ta, which basically i had what they call the "long haul breakfast" which is a bisquit and gravy, 2 sausage patties, hashbrowns, french toast, and two eggs. For a while, most ta's i ate at *which wasnt "often" but i tried to whenever i could*, they would actually offer you a 2nd helping for free. like, any part of your meal you could order 2nds, or thte whole thing if you wanted. I did order 2nds a few times, usually more bisquits and gravy, and sausage. One time i got extra hashbrowns. When I first started eating at that restaurant, usually i would end up getting the cat fish fillet dinner, but what can I say? I'm more a breakfast guy. I loooooooove fried fish, but the breakfast with the bisquits and gravy, hashbrowns, eggs, and french toast and sausage patties beats that meal ten times over. Gonna miss that kind of breakfast being back home because unless we go to ihop, there's not too many places that you can eat like that, but at the same time, there's chinese at home which I havent had in forever and I looooove chinese, so I'm looking forward to that occasionally.

So in conclusion, yup, many things changing very rapidly, but they are changes that I am welcoming with open arms. I'm looking so forward to them. In fact, lately, especially after the change God brought between Ash and I, I've been looking even more forward to turning the truck in and going home and starting the new job. That is going to be wonderful. Its been about 2.5 months or so since I was home last. I hadnt planned on being able to get home for many many more months, and I was willing to do it, willing to do whatever God wanted me to do, work as hard as I could to give everythign I have to God and just glorify him and not complain, but thank him that i was in fact working, and that Erin was in fact working, and that we have a house with a landlord that is gracious enough to work with us as far as the rent has gone and not kicking us out, and the bills have been gracious enough to work with us so that we wouldnt get shut off, but would do the best we can, and now things are about to change, bills will get caught up on, things taken care of, our landlord appeased, and things just improving over all. So, Thank you Lord for your constant work in our lives, and I will contrinue to reach for you and lift your name up on high. On that note, I will talk to you all again next time. I wish you all a wonderful day, God bless you, and see you again soon!

home time :)

Well i made it home for home time. I'm definitely liking 6 days off versus 4, because it feels so much longer even though its only 2 days longer. But when you're gone for 2 months, taking 6 days off feels so much better than 4 days. I cant explain it. So, i've got one more day off, and then tuesday morning i'm back on the road. And this time, i will have my cooler so i shouldnt need to idle my engine as much as long as I have the ability to get a bag of ice to fill up the cooler. That should be interesting since I have never used it yet. It's been sitting here at the house for almost 7 weeks because it showed up on our doorstep the day after I left. I was like "oh that just figures!"

So while home, there was at least one thing i needed to take care of. I had experienced some medical issues that had people concerned. I have been having neck and shoulder spasms and one time it went to a migraine that made me black out. I've also had other issues like, my hand suddenly going all spastic and twitching up a storm with my fingers moving half an inch back and forth... freaked me out when that happened...

But I told erin I wanted to get in to see a doctor when home for hometime, and I promised Ashley I would, so I really wanted to for the both of them. Erin because I know she worries, and Ashley because I promised her and wanted to keep my promise. When i did get into a place, it was an urgent care clinic that will see you for anything non life threatening. So I get in there, and they told me what one thing did i want to get seen for, so i said "shoulder and neck spasms that lead to migraines."

So, the doctor said "i'm going to prescribe you muscle relaxers. You can also take motrin for pain. This kind of thing should get better and go away within 2-3 weeks. However, if it does not, it will actually get worse and you will be back here to see me again. So, i got my script of muscle relaxers, which i take 1-3 every 6 hours. Plus he told me stretches to do at least a few times per day. Then something else happened that made me concerned. Last night, erin handed me my fathers day card,and i read most of it but then got to the word "Tons" and i couldnt figure out what the word was. I thought i just couldnt see it, so i went into the kitchen with more light, and after a few more tries, i finally figured it out. I thought the word was "lots" and then the next morning i read the card again and i could tell it was obviously tons. I was like "i dont know why i couldnt figure that out yesterday." THen today, Teagen gets out of the back yard, and so thinking that he was one block over, i walked down the street, past the bar, past my truck, and i turned up the block i thought he was on, and one of the residents on that block was like "is that your husky?" I'm lke "yeah, which way did he go?" and they were like "he went up that way, hop in i'll give you a lift up to where he is." So i was like "sure!" So we drove about a block to where he was, and I got out and got teagen on the leash.

So, i get him on the leash, and I walk half a block to what i was certain was county line road, and i take a left, and i go a block and suddenly i'm looking around and i'm lost. I am like "where the hell am i?" I didnt recognize a thing. So i backtrack, and realize "how am I on spring ave?" So I walk back, and took another left on the actual county line road, and ended up having to go a few blocks and then turn down aubrey. I the whole way thought "i dont remember going that far away from the house, i went one block over, and about a block and a half north, yet I went 2 blocks down *not even to where i started* And i walked all the way back home thinking about how I'm really not that old and shouldnt be having these issues. Makes me a bit concerned, but while i'm on the road i will just remain alert and aware to how i'm feeling and if i'm easily forgetting stuff, etc, and if so, then maybe when i come back again i will have to get in the doc again to have them see me about the other stuff.

Anyway, its late and i'm tired and keep zoning out so i better go!

talk to you again soon!
