The beginning

By now most of you know about mine and Gary's newest adventure and chapter in our lives, if not here is the short version. Gary quit his job as a pit boss, then we went thru 20 some years of stuff, I didn't realize we were such pack rats! We rented a 10x10 storage unit and we didn't even fill it up with what we kept. A lot of stuff went to the DI (Deseret Industries), the dump and our boys, then we had a moving sale with the 3 of us (more later). We put our clothes and a few other things in our truck and gave up our house. Then my husband did the most wonderful thing, he took me to Hawaii for 6 beautiful days! Unfortunately the day after we got back Gary had to check into school in Salt Lake City, truck driving school for CR England, I had to leave Gary there, I do believe that is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

Gary spent 2 weeks in school, studying and testing 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Two weeks to the day I left Gary in SLC I went back for a few days. Gary had already passed all his tests and got his CDL, they had an informal graduation which I was there to see and take pictures.

While he was in school he was able to get mail, I wanted to bombard him with as much mail as I could, I wrote him as much as 2-3 times a day, others wrote him as well. What I wanted to accomplish was for him to get tons of mail. On one day he got 13 letters and a few days later he got 16 letters in one day. They told him he definitely broke all the records for most mail received not to mention he must be loved by someone!
