We have known this precious family since our girls were in Kindergarten together when we were stationed in Beaufort, SC. Unbeknownst to us, we ended up building our forever homes next door to each other. We were coming to NC from Hawaii and they were settling down for the final years of Bill’s career. Since then we have been through deployments, homecomings, raising teenage girls (between us there are five girls…God Bless our husbands), had busy teaching jobs, been Dance Moms together, survived Nutcracker Mania, taken a Lake trip, enjoyed lazy beach days, hunted snakes, hosted bunko parties, celebrated sweet 16 and graduation parties, and most recently supported a dear friend through their family’s tragic loss. Through it all, we have become like family. Thank you Carroll family for allowing me to capture this special time of retirement and graduation for your sweet family!
