Saint Mary Class of 2022

 A college graduation and an 8th grade graduation within a week! 

Vivian will never forget her time at Saint Mary. In her three years of middle school, she was only there in- person for 13 months because of the Covid, but those 13 months were her absolute happiest. Even after we left to homeschool for a year and a half, Viv was welcomed back with open arms both by her teachers and her friends. It was like she was never gone. 

It'll always be hard to put my gratitude for Saint Mary's into words. It wasn't just a school or a community, it was a place where Vivian found herself. In a short time, she put down roots and she bloomed. 

For that, I'll always be thankful.

Florida Farewell

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!
