It all started in the deli section of our local grocery store,where fate brought us together while we waited in line.He stood there, patiently enduring my cheerful banter with the ladies ahead of him,but when our eyes met,I was captivated by his warm brown eyes and irresistible smile.I couldn’t resist giving him my cell number when he asked, thinking he’d just be a nice phone friend,nothing more.But then he threw in a surprise: "If this works out,I want to take you on a cruise next year.”

Embarking on our journey to create a cross-country hauling company, we witnessed the beauty of 34 out of 50 states through the windshield of our dually truck. Each encounter with animals in their natural habitat and the warm connections with beautiful people at diners and street markets filled our hearts with joy. Singing our favorite tunes, even with the wrong lyrics, brought us deep laughter and unforgettable moments.

We will pay off the bothersome bills that we incurred during this slow period of work. Donate to our church. Take our grandkids on a fun vacation somewhere tropical and pay the $3k cargo insurance to re-enter the professional hauling business. Make vital upgrades on our work equipment. We will get some dental work and secure better life insurance. Buy school clothes for children in need within our community.
