HEARING TWO WEEKS
Two weeks from tomorrow is Micahs' hearing at 3:00. It is looking like there will be big group there to support Micah. He was so happy last time to see people he had not seen in awhile and to feel the "love". Keep up the encouragement and if you see something funny pass it along to Micah. He could use a good laugh these day. Jokes, stories, or just great lines he can use on people are much appreciated. His address is under his pic and isn't he just the cutest darn thing?

POETRY PEEK OF THE WEEK
I was able to speak with Micah today. It was great to hear his voice and be assured that he is fine. He is so great about always being upbeat and keeping positive. I am sure he does not always feel that way, but he tries to assure his mom that he is fine.
His quote for the week is:
"What started whole is down to shatter. You must start with nothing and become whole."
Next Wed. is Micahs' update hearing. It will be 3:00
Jesse make sure you wear a big red hat and carry a big red balloon so that people will know his brother is there.
Micah decided to share a poem with you all. He wanted me to be sure and tell you all that this is a rarity and only a little peek at how good his poetry is getting. I did tell him not to go back and destroy all his old poems. He just laughed and said that he is really getting better for sure. It has helped to have access to some good poetry and it has surely got him on a roll.
He is planning a novel now and already has the outline for that. His biggest problem right now is the fact that he has run out of pages in his notebook. He got the notebook when he was in juvy and they don't sell them in county. They only sell paper, and he prefers the notebook. I guess he will get used to the paper.
I am kind of hoping he will start writing bigger now that he has more access to paper. I don't know how much they charge for paper, but his crazy little writing is sure hard to make out. Anyway here is the poetry peek:
Shall we dance
with the moon, as the stars serenade us with Spanish love songs?
Shall we walk with the earth as the trees whisper
"kiss her"
so softly into my pale ear?
Or rather, my darling, let us sing de amor shining brightly for lovers to see
helping love entwine two young souls, two hearts in his everlasting tango.

LONG AWAITED DAY?
Tomorrow is Micahs update hearing that has been forwarded for five months. He said the most thing he looks forward to is the van ride! And of course seeing his loved ones in the courtroom. He would like to thank all of you who continue to show up, even though it appears nothing is happening. I have been assured something is happening and will happen tomorrow.
He impressed on me that he is the one who has been waiving his right to a speedy trial, as well as putting up with the excuses and dragging out of the thing by the prosecution.
If I have learned anything from this experience it is to trust Micah and his attorney.She is sharp and is truly looking out for his good. We will see how tomorrow goes and in advance thank you to all who are able to attend and just let him see your face and feel your great juju vibes!
Coconino County was great when I called yesterday to check on my boy by the way! He did not call as scheduled on Sunday and I of course was worried. I called the jail and they assured me that he was fine and there were no problems with him or at the jail! Never can tell.

JAIL GUARDS
Micah shared a funny story with me on Wednesday after his hearing. He was pretty discouraged, but as always managed to keep his chin up and find the humor in the situation.
On the way to the courthouse for the hearing he got to talking to the driver. Of course Micah got to talking to the driver, he talks to everyone. Anyway so they got to talking and the driver told him that he had been doing his job for 10 years.
Micah said, " wow you have been doing this since I was 7 years old! Just think about it you started doing this kind of job when I was just a little kid with a superman backpack that I would wear and pretend it could fly me around everywhere. You have been driving people to their hearings and I was like flying all around my yard".
He said the guy did not find it at all amusing and even got a little pissed off at him. I told him he better be careful or they will be driving him to the funny farm instead of his hearing!

SNAP!
Maleah always says "snap" when she is frustrated. That is a good way to express how we are feeling with Micahs situation. It is so frustrating to keep getting strung along like this. The good news is there were about 10 people at the update hearing today. Yahoo! That looks very good and helps Micahs' case all the more, so thanks to all who attended.
Where we after the hearing today is this: by the next update hearing scheduled for March 25th if the prosecution has not given them the deal they asked for they are going to trial. That is what Micahs' lawyer made clear today at the hearing, and what Micah has asked for.
See as I understand it when you are waiting for a plea you have to waive your right to a speedy trial, because obviously you are trying to avert going to trial. Evidently if you waive that right it can be a heck of a long time before you get anything.
Micah had a pretty rough day. He had asked the duty person to wake him up at five thirty this morning so that he could shave for the first time in three weeks. They yelled at him, but they did it through the steel wall before it was open, so he did not hear them. So he looked like a beast for his hearing. Oh yeah and the straw that broke the camels back for Micah today? You now have to buy your own salt and pepper!
This picture is one Jaima was kind enough to send me from Micahs' freshman year. He and his friend decided it would be funner to play in the snow with no clothes on. The biggest problem was once he got down the hill he realized he had left his shoes at the top also, brrrr! So Micah.
Here is the quote that Micah gave me after his long day:
