Yesterday I had the privilege of joining the See You at the Library event at the Marysville Public Library. I was invited to read one of the BRAVE Books as part of this nationwide effort to encourage story time with themes that build character and community.

It was a joy to spend time with the kids, share a story, and be part of an event that highlights just how important reading together really is. Thank you to everyone who came out, I truly enjoyed it!

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸
As we celebrate today with cookouts, fireworks, and time with the people we love, I’m reminded how lucky we are to live in a country built on freedom—something that’s never come without sacrifice.
To those working today to keep our communities safe, and to every veteran who’s worn the uniform before us—thank you.
Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Independence Day! 🎆
