Brittany’s LAST Day of High School

Today was Brittany’s LAST day of High School!  She was very excited but also a little sad.  Weird to say, but we were kind-of happy that she was sad because with the move, we weren’t sure she was going to really adjust well and have a great senior year.  She made a lot of friends
