who says you can't go back

It's been 30 years since I put on my green high school graduation cap and gown. I remember being seventeen and wondering what my life would bring. I've sometimes wished I could go back and share a few words of advice with the young senior who often doubted herself. Thirty years later I've been blessed to stay in close contact with many of my amazing high school friends.  Last weekend I traveled back to Wisconsin for our official reunion. I loved this opportunity to reconnect with these people that have known me forever. There was something so healing about being in a space where I was just Terra. 

 "Parker high school, Parker high school tall and strong are we...(sing it with me!)
Because sometimes the "good old days" really were.

Drew comes home

It's the best thing ever. There are really no words. 
Lots of hugs, lots of tears, lots of joy.

(We missed Sierra who was on a preplanned senior trip to Africa before we knew Drew's return date would change). 
They had their own happy reunion two days ago:)
