End of the Storm

Our adventure at Willow Spring High School has come to an end. TJ - our favorite oldest son - graduated the other night.  A four year, three sport athlete he graduated with honors along with his friends, Jack, Allyssa, and Owen. 

TJ's class represents the first year group that started at Willow Spring as freshmen, an interesting factoid from our ever growing community.  

The Raleigh Convention Center was full and the ceremony was rather straight forward and dry, but we rejoiced in his event. 

For some, this graduation marks the end of formal education and school. For TJ, it is the end of a chapter in his education as he prepares for Christopher Newport University in the fall.  As a matter of pride, he selected CNU so that he could run NCAA Cross Country and Track. No matter what path the graduating class is on, some families gave their all with flowers, outfits, and signs. It was a small spectacle for sure.

When the fall gets here Grant will be in a new High School. Our experience will be very different at Cardinal Gibbons. 

For now, school's out, the summer is here, and for a short while our world is about this young man.
