Another week. Time just moves too quickly. Mike will be leaving for market this week - again!! He'll be gone too long but there is nothing I can do about it. I am, however, looking forward to a quick visit from my sister. So I should breeze through this market. I'm not quite sure why, but I am still fighting lack of motivation, 4 months into this year. Hopefully, when the spring rains leave and the sun comes out on a regular basis, this will pass. I really hate feeling this way, but I can't seem to use enough "mind over matter" to rise above it. Life really is good and there is no reason that I can find so I better get busy and decide what will be on my table tonight for Kerri and the boys.

My daughter had a very good idea after looking at the pictures I just posted. In this picture is my son on the left, Matt Meeks and Joel Meeks on the right. Mikey and Joel have been friends for a long time. My dad had just taken them fishing in this one. They spent long summer days playing in the creek behind Joels house. I don't ever remember them having an argument. You see, Joel is a very special friend, a very special person. He has ALWAYS been there for Mikey. They played little league baseball together, went to high school together and played on golf teams together. Joel and Mikey took two very different roads but they were always in sight of each other. And whenever my son's road got rough, his buddy was there with his unconditional friendship. So that was then and this is now. Thanks Joel Meeks from a very appreciative mother. You're like a son to me.

I realized I never posted any pictures of our celebration of Mikey's 1Year Anniversary. Life has really moved at a quick pace, I can hardly believe it is April. Mikey and Nicole just celebrated their first wedding anniversary. Just thought I would give you a glimpse of my life lately in pictures.
