How do I already have a 20 year old??? Good Golly! Garrett has done so much growing up in the past 2 years. He's always been naturally smart at school but not particularly the hardest-working student. Signing up for 2 years at Rappahannock Community College to get his first 60 college credits was probably his smartest move ever! He had some rough starts, a couple low grades, a couple failed classes, and some do-overs too. But he kept at it, all while working full time at Sheetz and saving his money. Between his dad, me, and Garrett, we were able to pay out of pocket for his 2 years at RCC, so Garrett transferred to VCU this summer only owing what he took out in loans for his junior year this year.
He's got a kick-ass room mate in Richmond (Chase) and is still working at Sheetz! He's paying his own way with his rent, car, insurance, food, and cell phone and I couldn't be more proud!

We did kind of a Baby Shark theme (you can tell a 7 and 9 year old helped me with the cake decorating) |

So excited for pots and pans!! |
