Hello everyone,

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays—a time to reflect on gratitude and the blessings of the past year. It’s a natural moment to pause and consider the changes and milestones we've experienced together.

This past year has brought significant change for many of us. Some have started new jobs or schools, moved into new homes, welcomed new family members, while others have faced the loss of loved ones. As the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, "The only constant in life is change." Through all of life’s unpredictability, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude:

I am deeply thankful for the Weldon family, especially for the warmth and kindness you’ve shown in welcoming me and my family as we transitioned back to Indiana.

Wishing you all a joyful and meaningful Thanksgiving.

Boiler Up!
