our new truck

we got our new truck on december 15th 2007. at first it smelled like smoke, so we spent the whole day cleaning it and making it like home. zack and sarah bought sheets for the bed and a little rug for the floor. they scrubbed all the surfaces and zack made sure the windshield was cleaner than new.

mcdonalds or starbucks?

where do you think we are?



(clue: look closely at zack's cup..)

christmas and beyond

we spent christmas with sarah's family. only half the family was there (her dad, dave & debbie and their kids, and liz and chris and their kids) but it sure was a houseful! they had fun playing on and in the truck.

then we got to stay with peter and ginger (et al) in indiana. peter is sarah's second brother.

the kids immediately turned the truck into a fort. it was amazing. =)

cold

last night it was very cold.
this is a bucket of windshield washing fluid.
yes, that's ice.

snow!!

we drove through the rocky mountains and I got to walk in the snow and it was beautiful and COLD!!

the imes'

on wednesday we were in north carolina, waiting for a load, and we stopped by a cracker barrel for lunch. we were very close to charlotte, north carolina, and sarah has some friends there, so she called them. they lived 1.6 miles away!

so we went to their house and ate dinner with danny and carmen and their two little girls, eliana and emma. eliana is almost seven, and emma is two. i tried not to act nervous. they were very nice.



emma liked to kiss me.
she almost didn't give me back to sarah.



sarah was very happy to see her friends. and zack was happy to meet them. (i was happy to not be eaten by a two-year-old!)
