Where Did the Summer Go?

I remember last year, by the time school rolled around Mike and I had been camping and ATVing so many times it made my head swim, but this year I think we have been out four wheeling less than five times. I think it has something to do with my broken ribs but I pretend not to because I have been back on our "Black Beauty" since the accident. Mike and I have just found that this year our lifes are a little more busier than normal. We can't figure out why or whats different, well one thing is different, Mike drives more back east runs than before. Right now he is parked somewhere in Pennsylvania with a delivery in New Jersey sometime tomorrow. We are finding that most trucking companies are sending their drivers further and further away and gone for longer periods of time. Right now, Mike is gone on the average for close to two weeks. Makes it hard on a marriage let alone family time. When Mike gets home it is usually for one-two days then he's off again. But we both can't get over how fast the summer has gone. For the small trips we have had we have enjoyed every minute of it. I am thankful that I married a man who has the same interests as I do. We are no different than any other couple, we have our fights, disagreements, but in the long run we wouldn't be without each other. This picture was taken up around Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. We were taking a Sunday drive with Mike's brother and his wife (Don and Irene) looking at camping property. Can't afford anything but it was a great drive and time spent together.
