Big Time Trucking!

Most Sunday's Dale and I plan to do things that we can do together because we don't see each other a lot during the week. Saturday Dale got asked to help a friend haul hay from Lincoln, MO back to the Sale Barn in Boonville. Of course, Dale was so excited about helping because he loves to drive his truck and haul things, he was on Cloud Nine all day Saturday and Sunday!!

Sunday morning we got up at 6:20AM, if you know us, we don't get up early on Sunday - ever! We were pulling out of the driveway and on the road for Lincoln before 7am! I was very impressed with my ability to get myself together that early, I even made myself breakfast!!!!! Just so you don't think I'm selfish, I offered to make something for Dale too, but he didn't want it!

We took 2 trips (Dale's 3rd trip) to Lincoln and each trip took about 3 hours round trip. It was really nice to spend the day with Dale, no one called him or me so we were able to just enjoy each others company. I think Dale really enjoyed being a "trucker" for a weekend, he kept talking about how he would love to help Shane every weekend he was able to. We were told we could haul as much as we wanted to yesterday, thankfully we had a family dinner to go to or I think we would have made 2 more trips! Although I loved spending that time with him, it was a pretty long and bumpy ride to do it anymore than we did!

Dale has already called me this morning from work telling me that working on the hog farm isn't worth it, he thinks he should just drive a truck!

You are a better woman than I Ashley! I would think that 1 trip would be fun (for the most part) but 2?! :)
