April 17th - hatter Friday

While we are all working to do our part distancing and staying home, we are also looking forward to next year for our daughter Cas. She is finishing her senior year here with us and hopefully she is off to Stetson University starting her freshman in the fall. I only say hopefully, based on the world at large. I cannot predict where the public health needs will be regarding kids on a college campus. Fingers crossed she'll have a normal freshman year. Make that a NEW normal freshman year on campus. So what is Hatter Friday? Hatter Friday is something that happens on Stetson University's campus, everyone on campus (staff and students) wear a little green in their clothing choice for the day. As a family we started doing Hatter Friday at home and wear a little green. Or a lot of green. Rich likes breaking out his new

Heading to Stetson University fall 2020 

Little did we know on signing day in Nov. 2019, that this would be one of the few event we would celebrate during Senior Year. I am so grateful for his day at her school and crew.

Stetson shirt (He's so cute!) So we celebrate my daughter heading off to Stetson in the fall every Friday. She is a merit scholar and a rowing scholar and we are so excited for her. And really no matter what happens in the fall, we are so proud of her drive, talent and goals. We are incredible thankful to spend more time with her right now and how well she is managing the loss of her senior year events and fun. As we think about the fall ahead of us we are nervous about Cassi leaving us. Admittedly we will worry maybe a little bit more because of what we are living through now! However - as each day passes, we are more hopeful that the world is a better place for everyone.
