missing them

clancey is out mowing the lawn. lucas is running in his soccer shoes for more traction. cedar is running around the house being her cuter self. jenny is on the phone with a friend from az who had a baby. me...i am typing on this damn computer trying to put my thoughts into words.

i work a lot during the months of march to november off and on away for long periods from my family. we are headed to az to drop my family off in flagstaff. from there my sister-in-law will take them down to gilbert. i will continue back up to fredonia to get ready for a grand canyon trip. i will be gone for atleast twelve days. ten of them on the river.

i miss my family when i am gone. i love them very much. i have the greatest job anyone could have and am glad i do what i do. but...i really do miss them. my wife is the most wonderful person and the strongest. she manages them while i go out to bring in the cash flow. i always get real sentimental when i am about to go a really long trip. it would be a lot easier if i didn'y love my family so much.

marriage

so...today is my 13th wedding anniversary! it throttles me to think that there is one woman out there that has (and can) put up with my shit for that long. she is the most wonderful person in the world and i am glad to have captured her. she keeps things alive around here. she is very loving and deserving of the best. without her i would not be in the place where i am right now. i river guide for a living. i have no stress. i live in a beautiful place. it is all because of her! thanks jenrolee! you are the most wonderful person i have ever met and it feels good to know you are in my life. cheers to you woman!
