Mike had a surprise visitor over the weekend - Lori!
She made her delivery in Phoenix Saturday morning and then had breakfast with her son and daughter-in-law. (She also had the chance to have dinner with her sister Friday night.)
Anyway, she called Mike to say that she was leaving Phoenix to make her next pickup at the Dole plant in Yuma, AZ headed for Sterling, IL. Mike said "great" and then went to his nephew's birthday party for the day. Mike figured something was up, however, when he called Lori on his way home from the birthday party and she was still driving.
When he got home, Lori called to ask if Mike wanted to come meet her. Mike was all set to drive to Yuma when Lori said "I'm at the drop yard in Ontario! Come get me because my next load picks up in Riverside on Sunday night." So, Lori got to spend a night at home, go to church, and have lunch her some of her "Southern California" kids.
About Us
We’re Mike and Lori, a middle-aged couple that decided to make a huge change in our professional and personal lives by becoming long-haul truck drivers. (You can read more about the how and why of that decision in "Really? Why!? - Parts I and II.")
There are lots of things we could tell you so you can get to know us, and we probably will in the weeks and months to come. But we believe the most important thing is that we are born-again Christians. It provides the foundation for how we view the world, instructs us on how we are to relate to everyone around us, and fills us with a sense of peace and well-being that can only come from knowing God is in charge of everything and that He wants only the best for us.
