On the road

The next couple days were filled with ALOT of driving..stopping to pee, eat, and sleep then back on the road again. It seemed to rain the entire way down, gloomy and rainy as if the mood wasn't sad and dreery enough..but we rolled on. I'd like to say I did pretty good for my first time pulling a trailer for a sigificant amount of time. There were a couple of pretty scarey times for me..like the time we were trucking on through Missouori and I noticed the sky was looking kinda mad, I took a picture and sent it in a text just showing people that we had been on the road for a long time and it still wasn't nice..and it wasn't a minute later that the sky opened up and I thought it was gonna suck us up into the clouds! It was WICKED! It rained so hard I couldn't see ANNYTHING!..but my husband, whom I was following..kept right on truckin! Pretty scarey. Or the time we were trying to go around Kansas City cause it was a "shitty City to go through"..the words of my husband..so we are going around it, and it's just starting to get dark and we hit constuction.. s l o o o w moving traffic and then we come up to a FREAKIN BRIDGE over a FREAKIN RIVER!! Was I freaking out!??? Well YES I was! I look around me as we are pretty much stopped and all I see is Darren in front of me in the motor home with the humongus trailer he's pulling and then there's me with a trailer packed full of stuff, and Jeffrey behind me with a 24 foot Uhaul FULL ..not to mention all the semi trailers all around me!! OH MY GOSH DEAR JESUS PLEASE GET US ALL ACROSS THE BRIDGE SAFELY! I had to call Jeff and have him calm me down..he did a great job =) We made it through Kansas City and Jeff text me and said.."wow!" I was confused..wow what? He said "the view" and I said..the only thing I see is this big white box that I have been focused on, trying not to let get too far away from me for a couple of days..there's a VIEW!!?? Well shoot! Thats when I decided to relax and look around and enjoy "the view" as we travel through the rest of the states. Turns out Oklahoma had some pretty darn cool scenery..people probably thought I was drunk..but I enjoyed my surroundings =)

We finally got to Texas on Saturday afteroon and stopped at the little rest area with the big Texas sign..it's tradition to stop and take our picture in front of it..it probably won't be tradition anymore considering we are now Texans =) And did I mention it is HOT! WOWZA! (..but it will NEVER EVER be 35 degrees below zero!) We decided to get somewhere with airconditioning to eat dinner Saturday night so we drove and drove but couldn't find something that was easily accesable to ALL of us..the three truck convoy. We decided to get south of Dallas before we stopped, we found a no name place that serves Mexican and Itallian..weird I know, but the food was AMAZING! and it had a big parking lot. We ate and slept. Sunday will have to be our "arrival" day.
