What a busy month March has been already! I am really looking forward to this weekend with high hopes that it will be pretty weather that we can get out & enjoy.

Eric & I enjoyed our recent trip to Washington, D.C. with exception to having to be away from Molly for so long. We really learned a lot about a few bills that are currently in front of our Representatives that could have a major impact on farmers and the agricultural industry. We met with several Representatives (including our own District 10 Rep. John Barrow) and with Senators Chambliss and Issakson.

But, by far, our favorite part of the trip was getting to meet & spend time with other young farmers from Georgia. We made a lot of new friends that we hope to continue to keep in touch

with.Last Thursday night, Molly competed in her school's beauty pageant.

It was her very first pageant, so I was a little nervous about how she'd do on stage... However, she did pretty good for her first time and even got 3rd runner-up. We were very proud of her!She came off stage saying, "I want to do that again!"

Saturday, Molly & I were honored to be part of my cousin Stefany's wedding. Stefany was such a beautiful bride, the wedding went off without a hitch & the weather could not have been more beautiful. It was a wonderful day!
