Got to briefly meet @TheAKGuy this weekend on a trip! He was so kind! He let me take a picture with him because I told him my husband watches him on YT and he wouldn’t believe me. Now I just need to find @DonutOperator in the wild! Thanks again, Brandon!

Help these sweet band kiddos stay hydrated! It’s hot out on the pitch especially in those band uniforms with their instruments. Can you spare $8-16?
In an effort to supply every Nimitz Band student with a matching water jug, we are running a Walmart Registry. How can you help? Purchase a water jug (or several!) that will go directly to a band student. YOU can make our band safe and healthy! walmart.com/registry/tr/f8fa…

Isaiah, one year ago our whole life changed when you left this world. I am so lucky to be your mom and I can’t wait until we meet again in Heaven one day. Our hearts are broken but we are so lucky to have been loved by you. Always our best boy, Bubby.
