Yesterday marked the first day back to school. While both Ben and I are excited for 2nd grade my heart also aches just a little at how fast he is growing up. 2nd grade was my favorite and I just loved my teacher so I’m hoping the same is true for Ben.

To use his humor, heart, and smarts to be an example to those around him and to encourage everyone he meets. Here’s to a great year!

I graduated in 2008 with two bachelors degrees, one in Human Development and Family Studies and the other in Social Work. Social Work was my main focus, but I figured having a degree in HDFS would be a nice complement. After graduating I knew that I would get my Masters in Social…
