The trucking lifestyle is all new to us...

Tommy and I

My name is Michelle and this is all new to my husband, Tommy, and I. We were only married 3 months when the opportunity to drive came (one month ago now...lol...).
We have been inseperable for the last two years and now I find myself missing him terribly.

He got his CDL on Thursday after spending 3 weeks and 500 miles attending a driving school. Today (8/27/2011) is his first day behind the wheel with a Phase 1 driver and he is super excited!

Tommy has always wanted to drive a truck. I am so happy that he is able to do something that he has always wanted to do and that, as it turns out so far, he is good at. He is a super person and a wonderful husband. He is my best friend and the love of my life.

I am a radiation therapist with a BS in Radiation Therapy from UofT which simply means I treat cancer patients with radiation. I absolutely love the work that I do. I like to sew, crochet, knit, cross stitch, read...Im boring...lol! I have a 22 year old son, a 9 year old step daughter, and a 2 year old grandprincess.

Tommy and I are making a home in Corpus Christi, Texas with plans to move back to my home area of East Texas in the future.

I believe the thing that will keep me going is the plans that we have made together. We are anticipating being debt free and a moderate savings at which time I will be able to quit my job and join him on the road.

We are both looking forward to traveling the roads together and it looks like it may happen sooner rather than later! yayay!!
