Graduation

This is a call out to anyone that is on Micah's visitor list and would like to see him graduate tomorrow. He will be having his cap and gown GED graduation at 10:00 if you would have time and means to get there.

Also we just found out that he has received another, that makes three, scholarship through Rio Salada community college. Way to go and man that is one smart cookie!!!!

College Student

Micah received his books from Rio Salada last week and is ready to get started on his classes. He got the scholarship from Rio for two classes, just because he is so darn smart! He is figuring that he will be able to complete his associates degree by the time he gets out in one year and five months.

He had a great visit this weekend and wants to thank everyone who takes the time to visit and write to him. As I have mentioned the time goes by so much faster and he feels so much better when he has lots of contact with the real world.

The prison world is just that- a prison world, and sometimes it is easy to forget there is a real world out there. A world where you can stay up until you want to go to sleep, where you can eat when you are ready to eat and a world where you can eat whatever you want to eat.

It is kind of like when you are really sick and you cannot remember what it feels like to feel good.

And the more we talk to him and remind him of all the good out here the more he looks forward and prepares for his life outside of the prison walls!

Still Here

Talking to Micah this morning and it was early. I can't believe that guy gets up at 5:30 in the morning to talk to his old mama. It is so nice to talk to him everyday and just gets my day going in the right direction.

In June he will move to level 2. That means more phone time. He will also go to B. That means moving across the street into a cell instead of dorm living.

He is still teaching a few hours a day and working out lots. He is waiting impatiently for things to get going with his schooling through Rio Salada college. I think he is going to do awesome and he is excited to get things going so he will be ready to join his brothers for University when he finishes.

The weather is heating up on Phoenix and he mentioned today that his visits will be increased in June. If anyone would like to visit and they are on his list just leave a message and I will get you there to visit. It really helps the weekend go faster as they only have two meals a day on the weekends, call breakfast and lunch brunch. Good ole' boys that own the prisons in Phoenix trying to cut corners how ever they can ha?
