I definitely have to brag a bit about my brother who never has to go back to school unless he chooses to. He graduated Saturday, May 5th from High Point University with honors receiving a B.S. in Computer Science, a B.S. in Mathematics and a minor in Physics. Way to go bro!

We had a wonderful time surrounded by family and friends. It drizzled but good ol’ Nido Qubein made sure there were rain ponchos for everyone at the event. We were all happy to put up with a bit of rain since only 2 guests per student could go in the gym for the ceremony if it had rained hard.

After the graduation we headed to Mom’s for the after party. More friends came by to congratulate Glenn and he racked up on graduation cash. Everyone started being really nice to him after that…

We’re all so proud of you Glenn!

A big Happy Easter to everyone out there from Sydney, Australia (meaning, I’m here in Oz). Hope you’re having a wonderful time. I spent my Easter with Aunt Laura and Uncle Frank and wish the rest of the family could have been around.

Also, Happy Birthday to GG and Uncle David. Hope you all have a wonderful birthday and wish I was there to celebrate!

We arrived home a few hours ago after a great family reunion in Canaan Valley, West Virginia. I don’t remember anything from the previous reunion 21 years ago (since I was 4). Last night we counted 41 people at dinner and some of the family didn’t even make it to the event. Just goes to show that the Ford family will continue its legacy for years to come.

Canaan Valley is a wonderful area with lots of national park areas, waterfalls, trees, land, deer (must have seen at least 10 per day) and other wildlife. There are options for mountain biking, white water rafting and the cabin where we stayed is right next to Timberline, a great ski slope.

Hope we get to visit again in the winter for some snowboarding!
