First day of training...

It was far too early this morning when the alarm went off at 4am! We did make it to bed early, about 11pm here in Lewiston...but not early enough for that wake up call! Today was full of filling out paperwork, learning new terminology, and just the fight to stay awake... Our trainer is an interesting woman, and very experienced in CDL driving. We will be in the "rigs" this week, and I think I'm looking forward to it. The hotel/motel we're in is not one we would normally try out on our own. It's a very basic type property, and has a different type crowd staying here. Having said that, they have just done a remodel and have done a very nice job. The beds are new and are very comfortable, which really suprised us. We drove up and thought we'd give it one night, and then maybe look for another hotel. We slept well, and it was quiet - can't ask for much more than that under the circumstances...Just finished studying and doing our homework...of course I cooked dinner here in our room and we watched Boise State pull out a win in the last minute of the game. It got to be a real nail biter there. I will send some pictures tomorrow, hope to get caught up with myself....
