Kudos

Yesterday we were appreciated at a high school FFA convention in a retiring speech from an area officer. A graduating senior, who we think is incredible, thanked us for contributing to her successes throughout her high school career...wow! Talk about touching the deepest places of your heart and making you swell with great pride! Robin and I seriously think this young lady is amazing...strong, independent, honest, driven, and most notably humble (someone you hope your own children will follow).

We were honored and isn't that what life is really all about? Giving without wanting anything in return and being totally surprised by a "thank you, you mean alot". I have always thought about that "It takes a Village...." concept and it is totally true. She has parents, very loving and involved parents, yet she comes to us for opinions, and do you have my back sort of confirmation on her choices. Humbled we were and inspired to encourage our kiddos to achieve great things and above all else.....be independent and make your own way in this world! We wish Ashley the very best in the future and we know she will do great things.

Consider checking out the Future Famers of America program as it promotes so much of what is important for our youth!
