This is Carolyn

For my Policy class this semester, I had to do a PSA on a topic in education. As soon as I was given the assignment, I knew immediately what I wanted to do. As many times before, I drew inspiration from Carolyn and had a vision to do a PSA about her story. When David and I flew up for Katrina's baptism, Carolyn agreed to let me spend some time taping her and Tyler.

After hearing from Carolyn how she had been treated by her son's school, it was important that my message be versatile enough to speak both to educators and to parents to say that parents, all parents make a difference in their child's life. I hope this video shows how proud I am of her.

The video on the bottom with the blank screen is the final version. The one on the top that says "This is Carolyn" is a draft version.



Condo For Sale

On March 12, we put the condo on the market. After following the market for several years, we finally felt like we found the home that we wanted to move into on the market in our neighborhood. You can see our condo listed at the link below.

Unfortunately, the house we wanted to sold this past week. But, David and I are optimistic. We have had some traffic in the condo and the feedback has been positive. There are a lot of townhomes on the market in the neighborhood and we know what we want. We are fairly certain we will be able to find something when the time comes.
