After many years without any family weddings, we celebrated two in the last two weeks. My husband and I each come from small families so we are well connected across generations and distant cousins. My first cousin was married two weeks ago and my sons considered the young 30’s guests to be an “old crowd.” Last weekend we all travelled to Texas, requiring four vehicles parked at two airports, for my niece’s wedding. Cameron and Sam thoroughly enjoyed the Texas A&M experience of an Aggie wedding attended by many, many recent grads. It is the first wedding reception I’ve attended where the crowd sang the college fight song at midnight. Wow, they really have a handle on alumni relations. We had an incredible time visiting with family and new friends and returned exhausted, happy, and ready to get back to work where 30 is very young. Welcome – Larry Carrier has joined MJC as the interim vice president of college administrative services during the search for a permanent vice president.
