It's getting closer, Steve's last day at the Mesa Schools is July 31 he has been hauling stuff up each trip he makes and I haul stuff back up when I go down to Mesa, it is kind of hard not being with each other and having to wait for weekends to see one another, he didn't come up this weekend which makes for a long week acutually 2 weeks because he will not be up until June 16 to go up to Salt Lake for Dennis's graduation from the academy for work. All in all its good to have a light at the end of the tunnel. Hope all is well with ya'all will keep you posted, I am enjoying being back at the Justice Court its like riding a bike you fall off and get right back on and keep riding, not a lot has changed, Take care and will post more later
