Class of 2026

Vivian's first day of high school was yesterday...her 5th school in 5 years! She was a bundle of nerves when we were driving there. She contemplated just working at Home Depot for the rest of her life instead of actually going to school...she thought the kids in the parking lot were waaayy too big...she thought the football players were going to trample her...and she thought she'd have to eat lunch alone. 

None of that happened though! She had a great first day. It wasn't perfect but it was the best she had hoped for! She met some nice kids, she liked her classes and she didn't have to quit to go work at Home Depot :)

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!
