All seven kids and I watched Rob catch the bus to WI to start his training. We as a family are taking a new drive down a less traveled road. The family of a trucker. I had promised I wouldn't cry so I didn't...at least not until I got home, put the kids to bed, and laid in the seemingly massive empty bed. This transition won't be easy but I stand behind the man I love with all I am. Some men aren't cut out for this type of life; being on the road all the time and away from family. Rob however has always known it. Starting out in the military then working jobs that kept him gone and busy since being out. Staying in one place just doesn't suit him.
It takes a special kind of woman to be a trucker's wife so I hear. One that is independent, strong, dedicated, and trustworthy. This new direction in life will test those characteristics in me and I'm curious to see how they will fare. I want to share this journey with you. I will be honest, open, and as transparent as possible both with you all and myself.
