travis' brain dump

Well technically we’ve been back for a couple days. We got in Saturday evening. Want to talk about being beat up? 17 hours of driving. At least we were graced with a brand new Penske truck. Only had 10000 miles on it. 🙂 We headed out Friday night around 11pm PT (12am MT) and hit the road hopeful. Arwen and Amanda were out well before we even hit I-17 off the 101 which was kinda funny. Not sure if it was the vibration of the truck or the rain, but they were sound asleep. I don’t think Amanda even moved until we were just about into Flagstaff. LOL The rest of the trip went pretty well… just tiring so we swapped off a couple times so that I could get an hour here and there of sleep to knock the edge off. Overall I’d have to say I did pretty good. I didn’t feel like I was to the point of nodding off once. Close, but not quite there. Thankfully Amanda got enough sleep in between to cover for me while I took some power naps a couple times. I’d have to say the highlight of the experience was getting to see my friend Brian again. I haven’t seen him in about 3 years and it was good to catch up and have some breakfast with him when we got to Albuquerque. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to see him again before he comes up in December, but it was really good to see him again. After finishing up breakfast we hit the road again and finished the home stretch to Denver. We got in somewhere around 6pm MT. It’s kind of a haze. We unloaded the truck, got some dinner, showered and DIED. I’m so glad Amanda had some soma’s because I definitely needed one. I think we both came to life somewhere around 10 the next morning. We slept in pretty good but what can ya do when you’re depleted and drugged? lol

All has been well… just getting settled and figuring things out. I started a temp job on Monday, so it’s good to see some positive cash flow coming back in instead of watching it bleed out over the coarse of a few months. Hopefully something permanent is around the corner. 

Anyway…. just an update. 🙂
