Well, I thought I should tell the family before everyone finds out, and I’m not sure if this is what Pa was looking for or not for his secret, but I will be starting my own business and leaving Cook Martin Poulson soon; like some time before July 1.  It will make for some exciting times and I am really looking forward to it.  Cook Martin Poulson has always been good to me, but I just feel my family will be better served with me making this change.  My new business will be a consulting practice that I believe will be awesome.  I have some great contacts and associates to work with and am prepared to meet this challenge head on.  My new office is just down the street from our home which will be nice as well.  Natalie and I have thought a lot about this and each time we think maybe we should not be taking this step something happens to tell us other wise.  Please pray for me and my family as I know we could always use the Lord’s assistance.  So, I guess it is now Rod that will get to boss Amy around all day; man, that much I will defenitly miss.  Rod has done an awesome job and hit the door running.  He has assisted many of my clients that have commented will on him.  In fact today I talked to one, Brandon Fry, that said he loves working with Rod and is glad that at least someone is taking care of him.  Amy, obviously, is the best office manager ever.  I really don’t know what I would have done with out her and the firm certainly would not be where it is today if Amy was not there; and not just because she saves relationships for me, but because everyone can tell that she is a loving and genuean person. 

 Anyway, just though you all should know.  Love you all!  Boyd
