Tall Oaks Grow

It must be a sign of maturity when you fall asleep at 9 o’clock on a Friday night and then proceed to wake up at 6am on Saturday, right? It’s strange I’ve been making all sorts of realizations about growing up lately. And it’s not just me, growth is in the air. Matilda Jane, Kiara, and Platinum, as a whole, too. And how everyone really seems to be finding their ‘niche’ at 435 and running with it. OWNING it. Makes me so excited for the future, for all of our futures at MJC.

And this photo makes me feel grown up too. Like I have my entire life figured out. I know I don’t. And in life, curve balls are a dime a dozen. But today, this morning, the future does not seem so scary to me.

Plus, when you work with people like this, your friends. (hi carrie and emily!)

And you live with people like this, your family.

How could growing up seem anything but exciting?

Thanks to Michelle Huesgen, one of MJC’s closest friends, for the beautiful photos. You are an incredible person and we are all lucky to know you!

Enjoy your Veteran’s Day weekends.

LOVE, SAM
