Day 3,249

Funny, there were less pictures of Dominic this year than last year, it is almost like he left for college! 😉

While Dominic moved up to the University of Minnesota for a very successful freshman year he was still very much connected with us, just not how we were used to. Like clockwork he would be on FaceTime with us every Wednesday and Sunday night to catch up and share his adventures. When he came home for the summer everything went right back into our normal routine and it has been awesome having him home.

This past year he’s finished his Eagle Scout, made the dean’s list, joined the rugby team, knocked out his first half marathon, and done a fair amount of traveling – including our trip to Patagonia. When I paused to go back through all the pictures of him from the past year I’m still amazed at how the regularity of our times have shrunk, yet the intensity of our love has grown.

So incredibly proud of the man you continue to grow into! Love you dude!!!

Thanks!!!
