Lycoming College Class of 2022

Last weekend Maxwell earned his Bachelor of Arts, Summa Cum Laude with Highest Honors. The culmination of 4 years of his hard, hard work. The winding roads, sometimes broken, that got him to the Fultz Quad on Lycoming College at 1 College Place, merged into one clear path for him. 

When Maxwell graduated from high school, I was a different person. The thought of him leaving home, to a new and unknown place, made me feel frantic. Just the thought of it. I didn't know what we would look like as a family. I didn't know how I was supposed to just let him go. How could you love someone so much and just let them go? I knew it was what he was supposed to do, but selfishly, it wasn't what was supposed to happen to me. 

But this time, this graduation, was different. I was different. I knew that Maxwell's college graduation wasn't about me or how I felt or what my future would look like. It was all about him and all about the people that he choose for friendship and guidance and support. It was all about how they made it through the last four years, together. 

And it was beautiful.

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

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!
