What I said in my last entry applies to this entry. I'm very proud of the men that all my boys are becoming and I'm glad that they have taken the time to write down their goals. I'm glad they realize that their dreams only become their vision and destiny when we take the time to write them down and make them their goals.
I love you very much Austin and I'm extremely proud of you.
