A Big Weekend

Maxwell's last three days have been pretty stellar! Friday he ran his final track meet of the season and placed 6th in the mens 800 meter. Who knew running would bring Maxwell so much happiness?! Let’s go Warriors! 

Saturday he received his first dose of the Covid 19 vaccine...FINALLY! Another wave is hitting Lyco right now, and with finals just a couple of weeks away, this couldn't have come at a better time. With this timing he'll be able to get his second dose before he and Hen leave for Colorado. Four of five Hanson's are vaccinated!! 

The biggest Moose news of the weekend though came today at the Lycoming Honors Convocation where Maxwell received two awards. The first was the 2021 Robert W. Rabold Economics Excellence Award, which was awesome, but the second award was what he'd been working toward for months. Maxwell was selected to receive a Haberberger Fellowship for his research proposal of eviction moritoriums and their effects on Covid 19 transmission. He'll complete his research and research paper throughout the next year and while he knows it's going to be tough, he's also certain that the end result will be worth all the hard work. Securing this fellowship has been one of Maxwell's top priorities....all of the decisions he's made in the last year have been with this is goal in mind.  He's been focused and determined and it has paid off!

Congratulations, Moose! We are so proud!!

Florida Farewell

Image
Our last sunset in Florida didn't disappoint.  Honestly, it wasn't an emotional farewell though.  I always felt like our time in Florida was fleeting. As a family, we transitioned the kids in and out of the house over summers, and in and out again. In two short years we transitioned through different schools and jobs and friends. These last two years especially, I felt like a transient. Never quite settled.  Now, it's time to settle. I'd like to plant some roots, even if they aren't deep and forever at our next assignment. Like us, they just need to be strong for the season.  Eglin AFB, Florida  1 June 2023

Knoxville TN

AmeriCorps and the real world called.   The day after we got back home from Colorado, Maxwell was off. It should've been two days after we got home, but we missed our original flight and...anyhow.  On that Tuesday morning, Matt and Henry went to work, and Maxwell, Viv and I loaded up the U-Haul and headed to Knoxville. Viv was so excited to be a part of this moving crew...she was always in school when he left for Lyco so this was her first official move-in. There was a lot of driving, a lot of sweat, and (as always) some tears, but the three of us got it done!  Go answer that call, Moose. Go out and do great things!! Tennessee River Line Project  Day 1!
