Family reunion … with the Trainas

As the clouds and rain rolled in and out of Bigham Knoll in Jacksonville, the Traina family gathered for a celebration. It was a surprise 70th birthday party, as well as a family reunion. And what a family … they enjoyed one another, they laughed together, and they knew how to have a good time.

Brooke … class of 2018

Meet Brooke, my Class of 2018 senior rep. She is a girl who is beautiful on the inside and out. She is a girl who has goals and ambitions. And she is a girl who will go far, no matter what she does. I have known her for years … you see … she is my son’s age, and to me, I still think of these kids as way to young to be approaching their senior year. The memories of younger days flood back. But the truth is they are young adults, with dreams and aspirations. To watch them grow is amazing. To be apart of it, words cannot describe. The class of 2018 holds a special place in my heart. (And yes, I am tearing up as I write this). With that … here’s Brooke.
