Trying Something New

For the past 5 years I have worked a nice Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm job with occasional travel. This has been great for me and my family. I was able to be home every evening and be part of my families routine every day life. That ended about 8 months ago with a change in my job status. I now have to travel for my job. Some weeks I am gone all week while other weeks I am only gone for part of it. The change was not by choice. However we decided to try to make the best of it.
During this short period of time I have been to quite a few places that I can honestly say I would never have traveled. I don't have the luxury of traveling to large cities or even large towns, most of the places I travel to are small Midwest towns and I mainly drive to the areas I work. I have met many wonderful people and some very "interesting" people.
Recently I visited with a friend about the new changes in my job and shared some stories about the places and people I've met. After that I thought it would be fun to put them down in a blog or journal.
So again I am trying something new by writing down some interesting and sometimes not so interesting events that occur week to week.
