LIFES CHANGING and WE'RE ENJOYING IT!

well its officially home time!!! 103 days out Id say Big Daddy deserves his rest :)

So, Im getting off the truck for good which is hard but this is what we have to do to live the life we both want. I think it'll be good, moved in with Big Daddy's bestfriend and wife and I gotta say Im enjoying it so far, its so nice being around women again n not just truckers lol

 gunna be getting a job and hopefully Big Daddy will be getting the local job he wants and deserves!!!

I've decided Im still going to blog but of course it wont be about the open road, just life and poetry! until next time enjoy every breath you have and love with all you've got!!

Bummer dude!

ok...I've been down for the last 5 days....Big Daddy told me I'm going to be getting off the truck the next time we get into town for home time, I knew this life on the road wouldn't last forever but I didn't think it would be over this quick. ugh no matter how I try n think of this situation it makes me sad, seriously sad! Like the only thing I like about it, is I get to have my lil' man Coco with me, he would be with us now but of course Big Daddy's company doesn't have a pet policy which they SHOULD!!! 

    Anyways there's my self pity party.....time to put my big girl pants on n get over it huh?

Im trying I really am.

    Until then Im gunna enjoy every second and I mean that

for my mom

                         MOM
It takes a special kind of person to be a mom.
One to love without holding back
makes you feel better when all else fails
With just a smile and a warm tender hug
   all worries and fears disappear
Mom your amazing, your beautiful,
   your who I hope to be
You loved me through all those childish attitudes
When I thought you couldn't love me more
  you did
Even as an adult Im still learning from you
I love you mom
  and pray one day Ill be a great mom like you
  forever n always
  your baby girl

Doing whatever it took
   to support your family  
When I look back on the years

   and how that man should be
I fell in love with

   because of you
From that its no surprise

   the trucker Im with
Im so proud Im yours
  and smile every time I think of you
I love you dad

HOT HOT HOT!!

Yesterday the air conditioning went out, let me tell you I will not take nice cool air conditioning for granted ever again! It was so hot but hey could've been worse, we could be back east where its hot and humid...I swear I would die!

 Anyways were headed to the Salt Lake City terminal to get it fixed, hopefully they'll be able to fix it quick so we can hit the road again! Oh I picked up the July issue of Challenge Magazine and much to my surprise in the letters to the editor section there was the very first thing I sent, I totally forgot I had even sent it in lol I submitted it under Nika Smith instead of Nicole Smith, I dont remember why I did that cause only a couple people call me Nika. Oh well huh, I think its pretty awesome they put that in there, I submitted a poem, keeping my fingers crossed they print it :)

Whatever you do in life, dont hold back!

red orange skies after scary storm...AWESOME!

we were in Kansas relaxing for our 10 hour break, when all of a sudden the truck started rocking back and forth like someone was outside moving the truck. So Big Daddy gets up and looks outside and guess what he saw? grey clouds, lightening and the rocking wasn't a person lol it was the 70 m.p.h wind!! I'll be very honest I was a bit nervous thinking that a tornado was gonna happen any minute, but hey I had my camera ready!!

 well after the wind, rain, lightening stopped the clouds started to part and on the horizon was the most beautiful sky I've ever seen....it was different shades of red and oranges...pretty awesome that's for sure!
