it is autumn today

today is the first day of autumn. everywhere there are beautiful trees. it reminds me of when i met zack and sarah. it was a rainy day and the leaves on the trees were gold and red.
today is sunny. it still feels like summer. but the trees look like autumn.

gti

today is the first day of orientation for the new company. we got to seattle late last night. a very friendly and very talkative cab driver drove us to the hotel where GTI had sandwiches waiting for us and a nice room. zack and sarah were touched by the thoughtfulness (we sure were hungry!).

i stayed in the room while they went to class at 6am. the cleaning lady was a little surprised to see me. fortunately i speak spanish, and i assured her that it was okay for me to take a bath by myself, even though i am rather short.

this evening when zack and sarah got back they were talking about how nice everyone was.. and how competent. i had to look that word up. it means that they are good at what they do. zack said that people seem to really enjoy their work. i think that's important.

we have two more days of orientation. then on friday we get our new truck!

a new company

sarah and zack have decided to leave covenant and work for a company called gordon trucking. it's also called GTI. they say that gti is located near portland and that we'll be able to stop by home more often. they also say that we'll drive more miles and that the people there are really nice.

next week we'll turn in our truck and stay with sarah's dad in santa cruz for a week. then we'll go to the new company.

i'll post pictures of our new tractor when we get it. it's going to be blue.....
