Here We Go

Here we go...the first college visit for our last little Hanson! Whew, how did we get here?? Viv loved everything about Elon, but kind of the way she loves everything about life. It really was an impressive school though. The size is perfect, it has a great nursing program and a beautiful campus.  Who knows where she'll end up, but Elon sure did set the bar high.  From North Carolina we went to South Carolina to visit the Hansons Matt and Maureen on her birthday And maybe the best part of long weekend was a Buccee's stop! Totally worth the price of admission!

The West Wing

A few weeks ago Matt and I had a private tour of the West Wing. To be totally honest, I was not looking forward it given the current tenant, but we were invited and soooo...we went.  I did have to give myself a pep talk before going. I had to be very intentional and remember that the White House does not belong to the person who lives there. It belongs to us as a nation and it is steeped in history. As we were walking through the hallways and pathways, all I could think was if the walls could talk, what a story they would tell.  We weren't allowed to take many pictures  but the grounds were beautiful  The Press Room was probably my favorite part Why not act the part in the Press Room?!

St. Simon's Island

I was in St. Simon's Island one month ago, but to be honest, it feels like it was a year ago. Lots of life has happened since then, which makes me even more thankful I went on this trip.  The island and the wedding were beautiful but spending the weekend with my mom, and seeing her happy and laughing with her brother and sister, was priceless.  September 6, 2025
