Happy 1st Birthday Legacy Republic! How time flies …

I found a box of photo albums in my grandparents’ closet that were nearly dilapidated. Flipping through the photos was like viewing into my family history that I never knew existed. Photos of my grandparents in high school, to baby pictures of my dad – the whole history was there. This particular photo was dated 6/19/1949 – and is of a great aunt I had never known. It’s a simple portrait, but I just love the regality of it.

I’ll never forget my time studying abroad in London!

Have you ever studied abroad? What was your memorable moment that you took away from it?

I never would have gotten to know my family the way I do now had it not been for a road trip. In my experience, the longest roads driven bring the deepest conversations and most personal revelations.

My friends and I are in various stages in our lives, some moving away while others are off getting married. The one thing that brings us back together no matter what? A serious game of paint ball.

Nervous wouldn’t begin to describe how I felt the first time I set foot into small passenger plane. All my nerves went away, however, the moment I looked out the window and saw lush green all around me. I remember my nerves, but I remember the view from the top even more.

We had a family trip to Mexico where did all kinds of activities. This is Donavyn riding an ATV thinking he’s all that and a bag of chips.

Video can never capture the smell or thrill that comes along with traveling, but it sure is the next best thing.

I was excited in this photo because I felt a little more mature starting 6th grade. And believe it or not, going back to college now I’m just as excited – not for the studies, but to see all my friends. The reality is, when I talk about my college experience, I’m really talking about all the good times I’ve had with them.
