A couple of weeks ago, I fell even more in love with SK. What was so special about that night, you ask? We went to a dedication ceremony for an elementary school. I bet you’re thinking, “A school dedication? How boring! What could a school dedication ceremony possibly have to do with loving your girlfriend?”
Well, my friend, this wasn’t just any school dedication ceremony. The community decided to honor SK’s grandparents for their tremendous contributions to the area, and named the school to honor them! I am lucky that SK shares her family with me.
The ceremony was beautiful, emotional and inspirational. After it was over, the children flocked around her grandparents and asked them to autograph their programs. Even the teachers were lining up just for the opportunity to shake their hands and exchange a few simple words of kindness.
So what does any of this have to do with my love for SK? It’s simple. These are her roots. The very same people whose contributions to North Texas have been so significant that they had a school named after them are her grandparents. In her family, the tradition of generosity extends beyond well-intentioned promises into something greater. This is her heritage, and so much a part of the wonderful person she is to everyone around her that “SK Elementary” is probably just a few years down the road.

That is very cool. I am very impressed and also glad to see that the values of previous generations are not lost on their kids and grandkids.
What is the team name of the school? For example, are they the SK Elementary School Panthers?
I guess SK’s gradparents could say, “They are the Us Elementary School Tigers”
