CONGRATULATIONS! Onward and upward!

Words do not adequetely express how incredibly proud we are of our Awesome Austin! What a wonderful graduation night that was held at Artpark to honor 200+ graduating seniors. As the

Valedictorian gave a speech that moved everyone to tears; I thought back at the 13 plus years of schooling our Austin has gone through to become the incredible young man he is today. He was left with some parting words that his classmate reminded him to be the person he wants to be, not what someone else wants him to be. That every door contains an opportunity; and there may be some challenges along the way; but take that opportunity and do not look back. She reminded all of us that if you think the best years of your life were high school; just wait to see what the future has in store. I am so looking forward to watching Austin continue to grow into the man he is today, to reach his goals, to follow his dreams.

Our family blog has kept us all together for many years, helped us keep in touch, post and share many of our lifes memories; weddings, births, even exciting and breaking news moments. One thing is for sure; I am truly blessed I have the family I have.  Way to go Austin! We love you!!!!!!!!
