Jeff...a Trucker?


Tomorrow around 3am my husband will be leaving North Carolina to drive this huge 24 foot truck all the way to New Hampshire!! Yikes! Oh, did I mention that the truck will be pulling a car dolly behind it? Let's remember here for a minute that Jeff has ZERO experience driving a rig this size! The whole thing makes me a little nervous to say the least. I have no doubt he can drive it straight down the highway no problem but what about getting TO the highway and getting gas?? Oh boy!

Let's all keep our fingers crossed for a safe and UNEVENTFUL trip North!

***UPDATE***
Although I wouldn't call their trip "uneventful" Ryan, Jenn, Sadie and Jeff arrived in one piece at 9:30pm last night. A short 17.5 hour trip (usually 14ish)...slowed down by weather, traffic and a Budget truck that would randomly stall out! Jeff drove the truck the entire way and seemed to enjoy it, however, I don't think he has any plans to give up his day job!!!! Matthew and I are headed up to see them this morning...of course I won't be much help unloading it with this melon in my belly but Matthew is excited to check out the truck and we can't wait to see everyone!

Welcome Back to NH guys! We are SO happy to have you close again!!!!
