Georgia

Mike and I were sent to Georgia in June. We drove up in his truck and the trip took about 10 hours, I think. Maybe a little less. It's been a few months since then! But we had a safe trip. We were there for about a month. I had one of the other welders wives', Trudy, there too. It was nice because we went out during the days. We would go to Walmart and Target, the mall and the park. We went 'exploring' one day trying to find the Walmart. The GPS led us to Alpharetta which was about 30 minutes from where our hotel was in Norcross. We laughed about that a lot but getting back was easier and we did make the trip once more before we left.

Another day Trudy and I went downtown. There were little shops, antique stores and specialty stores. It was a nice day so we walked along it and went into each store. We talked to the store owners and one of them was pretty funny. She had recently broken up with her boyfriend and I guess she needed to talk about it because she told Trudy and I her whole life story! We were sympathetic though and listened and encouraged her.

This trip was the first time I've ever driven Mike's truck. His truck is lifted and a 2500 Silverado. I drove his smaller truck (the 1500 Silverado) but not this one! It was a little scary at first, I felt like I was going to run over the little cars! But I got the hand of it and did pretty well. It was quite an experience, driving a huge truck in a foreign town! I felt lost most of the time!! I didn't get into any accidents though and we made it home safely.

While we were there, actually about two days before we were going to leave for home, Jessie got her period. I didn't bring any of her underwear so I had to make due and cut up some of my own underwear. I was pretty aggrevated but what was I going to do? Just one of those things.

On the way home Jessie must not have been feeling well because she wanted to lay up from with us the entire way back. The front seat is a bench seat so there was room. I guess she had a little pms! Haha!
