Here is a fun flashback to a back-to-school night, or maybe just a quick visit, in Wentzville back in 2020. I was wearing my favorite denim jacket and polka dots while Joey snapped this picture. It is so fun to look back at these simple, everyday moments where we were just walking the school halls, checking out the bulletin boards, and being a part of our local community.

The town of Dresden has been through so much intense rebuilding over the last couple of years after the severe tornado damage. The sheer strength and resilience of this community is truly inspiring to witness. The Moran House stands as a strong, physical reminder of our town’s ability to weather the storm. My parents always believed deeply in the strong roots of Weakley County, and seeing the historic downtown area slowly come back to life brings a lot of hope to all of us who call this place home.
