Honorable Day for the family

This year West Shore Community College chose to honor my grandpa (founding president of WSCC) by naming the Student Center after him! This was a huge deal for my grandpa and we were all very proud of him! The picture and paque behind him will stay in that building forever. This is him giving his speech towards the end of the ceremony.
All the grandchildren were present! Here is my cousin Allison, me, and my sister at the naming ceremony at WSCC. Black seemed to be the theme for attire!
After the ceremony our family had an open house for all attendants from the cermony. Mostly gma's and gpa's friends and colleagues. It was an all-day affair, and alot of food! The grandkids pictured here (me, Allison, Josh, Seth, Rob, and Lindsey) took charge of bartending for the event. It was a long, but very memorable day for our family.

4th of July Beach Day!

The 4th was a perfect beach day! My friend Rachelle (whom i've known almost 6 years now) and I joined the masses of tourists to spend a day at West End beach in TC. It was about 80* and very sunny all day. The Blue Angels were also practicing their air show routines all day so we enjoyed the entertainment!
Our friend Nick also came down to the beach to enjoy the sun. It was nice to have our little group back together---with such busy schedules (Rachelle being manager at Abercrombie & Fitch and a server at the Beach Bums, Nick being a Commercial pilot and flight instructor at NMC, and me working full time and going to school all summer) it's tough to get us all together.
Here are the Blue Angels practicing. They are small in this picture, but they were VERY loud and fun to watch. They comet to the Cherry Festival every other year---and they say TC is their favorite destination to fly. Yay!
