Wil's New Year's Eve Fun





Family Visiting

We were pleased to get together and catch up with more of Bryan's family over the holiday break. Bryan's Uncle Rusty, Aunt Lisa, Rebecca and Andrew Myers came to Hillsboro for a short visit. Rebecca is an actress, currently out west. Andrew just graduated from UT and is in a band. It was wonderful to catch up with them! Thanks for coming down, guys! We love you!
