Mike is home after being gone for almost three weeks! He had come home for 3 days for New Years and then left again to practice fishing. He finished third at the FLW Stren Event at Lake Shasta, netting $12,500 for the finish. Not a bad way to start off the New Year! I went up to see him on Friday the 12th as did his dad and step-mom, Carol. They actually came up on Saturday to see his final day as he was leading going into the final day. You can see all the articles and updates here. Mike will be home for almost two weeks before taking off to Lake Havasu for the FLW National Guard Series that starts January 31. He can only pre-fish for four days prior, hence his not leaving so early. Thank goodness he’s home for a while as his honey-do list is growing by the day!!

I’m still off work recovering from our miscarriage and my D&C. I doing pretty good for the most part but wanted to take the time to fully recover before jumping back into the swing of things. With Mike’s season in full gear, I need to be at the top of my game in holding down the fort. I’ll be returning on January 22 and working full time. My work has been so supportive and helpful.
